Nice feed from Puljujarvi there and great finish by Nuge. Maybe now he can stop being a whipping boy for a certain segment of the fanbase...

RNH you just don't know how to freaking score.

This is a troll job right? RNH was one of the best Oilers tonight.
He had the only goal.
After a few people claiming more hits is what the Oilers need I was paying closer attention to who initiated contact. Among forward I would bet that RNH was only behind Kassian in hits/physical contact initiation. I would guess 6-8 forwards will be credited with one or zero hits.
He played some pretty hard minutes. Skated his butt off. Scored the only goal and threw a few hits.
As far as the other forwards;
Kassion hit a bunch but any time the puck is near him everyone else might as well change. He turned it over or otherwise ended the offensive threat on his own. Complete black hole.
The bottom 6 was invisible. By tomorrow morning I bet a lot of us would have trouble listing which guys even played. (the bourbon may also effect my recollection)
Did Fougele play? I expected him to come in hot against his old team? Shore? Until he got his face crunched I wasnt sure if he was dressed.
Drai and McDavid had their moments but it is time for them to adapt. Teams are finding way to stop them.
Yamo buzzed around here and there but then I wouldnt notice him for a bunch of shifts in a row. No PK for him tonight either I believe.
The PP was pretty bad. Again, time to adapt. I did see McDavid and Draisaitl switch sides for parts of them. Not sure if by design or in the flow it rotated but it couldnt hurt to change things up.
On D;
Barrie needs to watch a game or two from up top. He is pretty bad right now. If his offence isnt there he doesnt bring much else. Terrible game
Nurse was ok.
Niemelainen and Bouchard had a couple young D moments each but werent too bad. Nemo is a bright spot in the last stretch. Old school big d man that seems to have the instincts to use his size effectively.
Ceci is very consistent. Pretty rare he has me cursing at the screen.
That leaves Kosko. Man he is frustrating. He mad a LOT of good saves. When the shots were a 2:1 ratio midway through the third it was only close because of those saves.
Buuuuuuuut- all three goals are saved more often than not by a good goalie.
The first one was a good save but then he has zero clue where the puck was. I dont think I remember an Oiler goalie who loses the puck so often. This one wasn't as bad as the other two.
Second one is a routine shot. You need to save it.
Third one needs no review.
Overall the team wasn't terrible but as usual there were a handful of players with a positive impact and double that dragging the team down. Regardless of the elite talent at the top of this roster they are going no where with the combined sucktitude of the bottom half.

Pretty much mirrors my take.
I'll add that the reffing ebbed toward atrocious again last night. Whoever had the idea of a ref jersey on the ice, I want to see that. Sending that message first in the league would send a message in itself. I've never heard of that being done.
Having guys who will challenge for the Art Ross & Hart trophies every year is pretty cool, but I get the sense that among the fanbase, that probably doesn't matter much anymore.
