I cried about lack of even strength production last game against Winnipeg....only to have my prayers answered with 7 ES goals!!!

If you want something new (although not that new) to complain about, it might be about depth scoring.

Here's the last 10 games:

vs Tampa - 3-1 L
- 29/93 in on only goal

vs Florida - 4-1W
- 93 - 2A, 29 1G, 1A in on 3 goals
- Nurse scored unassisted

vs Carolina - 4-3 OTW
- 29 - 2G, 1A in on 3 goals
- Archibald from Benson the one other

vs. Boston - 2-1 OTL
- 93 assists on only goal

vs. Minnesota - 5-3L
- 93 - 2G, 1A, 29 1G, 1A

vs. Los Angeles - 4-2 W
- 97 - 1-2-3, 29, 1-0-1, 93 1-0-1

vs. Anaheim - 4-3 OTL
- 97 0-3-3, 29 1-0-1, 93 0-1-1

vs. Vegas - 3-0 L
- blech

vs. Winnipeg - 3-2 W
97 - 0-2-2, 29 2-0-2, 93 1-2-3

vs. Nashville - 8-3 W
97 - 1-4-5, 29 4-1-5, 93 0-3-3

So in the last 10 games, the Oilers have gone 5-3-2, and scored 31 goals. Of those goals, the top three have been in on 29 of the 31 goals - and that's despite the fact that McDavid didn't play in half of those games.

The third and fourth lines (and second while we were without 97) have only accounted for a single goal in all that time.

We talked about this earlier in the season and there was a point where we had a bit better production, but the depth needs to be better. It's not like they've been air-tight for goals against!

In those 10 games, how healthy have the Oilers been? In the last 10 games, they have had:
Nygard hurt
Kassian suspended 7 games.
Neal was hurt,
McDavid was hurt.

McDavid isn't a bottom 6 guy but someone from the bottom 6 would have to move up to take a spot in the top 6. Same goes for Neal and for Kassian. So with all of the forwards other that are back, I will be interested to see what the bottom 6 does.

Gagner is a good guy and can be an OK bottom 6 guy.
P.Russell played the whole time and isn't an NHLer in my opinion.
Granlund spent time in the line up and isn't a full time NHLer anymore.
Benson I think is close but isn't quite ready there.
Cave played games and isn't an NHLer.

All of Kassian, Ennis, AA and Neal are upgrades on every one of the 5 guys I listed above. 2 of the guys in this list will be in the top 6, the other 2 play on your 3rd line probably which upgrades the top 6 in a big way.
