BLOG: Early adversity not surprising to McLellan

EDMONTON, AB - Oilers Head Coach Todd McLellan knew opposing teams wouldn't take his squad lightly in the 2017-18 season.
Three games into the campaign, the Oilers are below .500 with a 1-2-0 record and facing some immediate adversity as they attempt to file games into the win column.
"We're facing it early, which is not a surprise to me knowing how some teams and young players react to the season prior and what happens over the summer," said McLellan. "This is one of those segments throughout the year where we have to pull together."
