<a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>The Oilers</a> got blown out last night against the Kings in Game 2, and Darnell Nurse unleashed on his teammates following the game for their poor performance. The Edmonton Oilers are in trouble. After a crushing 6-2 loss <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/kris-knoblauch-reveals-the-reason-he-decided-to-bench-jeff-skinner-for-game-2' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>in Game 2 to the LA Kings</a>, they return to Rogers Place down 2-0 in the series, a hole they had not been in for the last four playoff series versus L.A. <a href='https://www.nhl.com/kings/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>The Kings</a> are one win away from sending the Oilers to the brink of elimination, and momentum would decidedly be on their side. Edmonton's offense has bogged down, but the bigger issue is in their own end. The team has been bleeding high-danger chances, and goaltender Stuart Skinner has been unable to bail them out. <h3>Skinner was pulled late in the game for Calvin Pickard</h3> He's allowed 11 goals in two games <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/edmonton-oilers-head-coach-kris-knoblauch-creates-a-goalie-controversy-ahead-of-game-2' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>and was pulled late in Game 2</a>, with the L.A. crowd chanting from the stands. Special teams have also started working against the Oilers. After shutting down the Kings' powerplay in last year's series, Edmonton has now surrendered five powerplay goals in just two games. L.A. is converting their powerplays at a staggering 50%. Darnell Nurse gave a very honest review of the team's mindset. We're pissed off, obviously right now going down two, as we should be, Nurse told reporters after the game. We haven't played to the standard or level we're capable of playing at to a man, to our group. It's a pissed off group and we gotta go home and take care of business on home ice. We're hanging our goalie out to dry. It's just the details to our game, whether it's sticks finding lanes, we haven't been good enough on the kill, Nurse said. Each of us knows individually, starting with myself, we've got to be better on it. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1915274366750998760'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Leon Draisaitl admitted the Kings' pressure is high and said the Oilers just need to raise their level. We got a hunger to win as well, but we gotta ramp it up, we gotta dig in, we gotta start playing here, Draisaitl said. It hasn't been good enough, and there's hunger on their side, you can sense that, it's not anything we're not able to match, we just have to find it and find it quick. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1915274267585069436'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> The Kings are only two wins from eliminating the 2024 Western Conference champions, but the Oilers have come back from worse before. Will they do it again? Friday night in Edmonton will provide the next chapter.
