The Oilers have made some roster changes thus far in the off-season, and now Head Coach Kris Knoblauch has addressed some on-ice changes they'll make too. For the past two years, the Edmonton Oilers have been steady in the regular season and dominant when it matters most, but with an ageing team, they need to find their identity early in the 2025/26 season beyond Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. To get back to the Stanley Cup Finals, many things will have to change, with goaltender Stuart Skinner <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/edmonton-oilers-stuart-skinner-eyes-strong-comeback-after-offseason-body-transformation' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>eyeing a major bounce back season</a>, as the Oilers need him at his very best to be a true contender. However, it's in front of him where they're looking to make the biggest philosophical change, as they look to finally climb the mountain and claim Stanley Cup glory for the first time in three decades. <h3>Kris Knoblauch details major change needed to the PK</h3> We saw the Oilers make several roster changes this year, and now, Head Coach Kris Knoblauch has addressed the other changes that the team may need to make, singling out how these changes will give them the opportunity to make some improvements to their penalty kill. The personnel will change with some new guys in here, but also our philosophy on how we kill is different. Preseason will be about finding which players fit best with our new strategy. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/jasongregor/status/1968340870534770838'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> According to Knoblauch, the philosophy on how the Oilers will approach the PK is going to change, and with key pieces moved on from last season, they'll need to find the personnel to fit that as well. All of this will help the goaltending and help the team when the playoffs roll around, and if things can break their way this season, it may be the year for the Oilers to take the final leap.
