The Edmonton Oilers have fired coach Jay Woodcroft amid a 3-9-1 start to the season, the team announced Sunday.
Despite a loaded offense, the Oilers are 26th in scoring this season. After leading the league in goals last season with 64, Connor McDavid has two. Leon Draisaitl had 52 in 2022-23 and has five this season with just one in the past 10 games.
Entering the season with Stanley Cup hopes, Edmonton lost to the worst team in the NHL, the San Jose Sharks, on Thursday before picking up a 4-1 win over the Seattle Kraken on Saturday. The Oilers have the second-fewest points in the league with seven.
