EDMONTON, AB - The Oilers currently have the 31st-ranked penalty kill in the National Hockey League with their 68.2 percentage.
The squad is aware they need to improve while down a man.
"It's small details like letting them (opposing teams) make little plays or whether it's not being in the lane," said defenceman Darnell Nurse of the team's penalty killing deficiencies.
