One month into the NHL season, the Edmonton Oilers are somehow sitting first in the Pacific Division but the underlying numbers tell a much different story. Host Nick Zararis breaks down what’s really happening beneath the surface: the poor 5-on-5 offense, inconsistent goaltending, and what it all means for Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and the Oilers’ Stanley Cup hopes. 

🏒 Why the Oilers’ 6-7 record doesn’t match their top-of-division standing 

📊 What the advanced stats (expected goals, scoring chances, and high-danger chances) reveal about Edmonton’s play 

🥅 The goaltending crisis with Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard — and whether a Connor Ingram call-up could change things 

💥 How injuries and Zach Hyman’s return might reshape the bottom six 

🔥 Why this team’s talent vs results debate still matters as the season unfolds 

Can the Oilers SURVIVE Another Month of Mediocre Play Before Zach Hyman Returns to Save Their Season
