In a long-awaited display of physicality, the Edmonton Oilers dropped the gloves on November eleventh, following a tough loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Trent Frederic engaged in a fight with Mathieu Olivier, a known tough guy for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Despite the loss, the fight sparked a noticeable increase in physical play from the Oilers, with Vasily Podkolzin, Leon Draisaitl, and Curtis Lazar delivering hits and getting involved in scrums. This shift in approach could potentially improve the teams record, as they historically have a good win rate in games where they engage in fights.
