Another day, another loss for <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>the Edmonton Oilers</a>, and Kris Knoblauch has seen enough and completely blasted his team in his post-game interview. Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch was not afraid to speak his mind Monday evening after costly turnovers led to <a href='https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/oilers-cant-find-a-way-to-beat-lowly-sabres/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>a 3-2 loss to the struggling, last-place Buffalo Sabres.</a> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1899276946531557511'> </a></blockquote></div> The defeat was a regression for the Oilers, who were coming off back-to-back wins after experiencing an ugly streak of six losses in seven games. Edmonton outshot Buffalo 34-23 but was not able to put prime opportunities in the net as Sabres netminder Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stonewalled them. <h3>Knoblauch blamed costly turnovers for the loss</h3> Turnovers, Knoblauch said of why the team lost. We controlled most of the play, we had a lot of time in the offensive zone, we had more chances, but it was the kind of mistakes we made. You look at the turnovers that led to scoring chances off the rush. We spent very little time in the defensive zone, but the puck management and giving chances off the rush was a big story tonight. Knoblauch, who led the Oilers to the Stanley Cup Final last season after replacing Jay Woodcroft, appeared to criticize the team's depth players, noting their inability to cover up mistakes by scoring. I don't think video is going to matter, he added. We've been talking about it a lot. It's about guys executing, finding that it's an important part of the game. It's frustrating when some of the guys who aren't contributing offensively are contributing to scoring chances against, which is really hurting us. It's different if you're making those plays and it's leading to offence, once in a while you get caught. But, if you're not creating that offence, and you're giving up those chances, that's what's hurting the team. - Kris Knoblauch <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/OilersNation/status/1899448111652905181'> </a></blockquote></div> In spite of having won only three games out of their last 10, the <a href='https://www.nhl.com/standings/2025-03-10/wildcard' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Oilers remain second in the Pacific Division,</a> three points behind the Vegas Golden Knights and three ahead of the Los Angeles Kings, who have a game in hand. <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/schedule' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Monday's game began a four-game road trip for Edmonton</a>, with upcoming games against the New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, and New York Rangers.
