PRE-GAME REPORT

TAMPA, FL - Keep it simple.
After a frustrating game in Washington where the Oilers made several mistakes that limited their opportunity to make a comeback, Head Coach Jay Woodcroft is hoping to focus the team's game heading into the second game of a back-to-back against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
"We've got to get things back on the rails here. We've come off what our game is over the last two games," Jay Woodcroft said. "But for me, I think it comes down to simplifying things, simplifying what our game plan is. Using simplicity as a formula for success. Because right now, the way we're going about things, we can't outscore our mistakes and tonight proved that."
Keeping the puck out of their own net has been a nagging issue that has creeped into the Oilers game over the last several contests. With 27 goals allowed over their last six games, Edmonton has been unable to keep a team below four goals for all but one time in that stretch.
As a result, the Oilers have conceded the first goal in four of those six games and have fallen behind in the first period in five of them. That was the case in Washington when Dylan Strome stripped Warren Foegele of the puck and beat Stuart Skinner for the game's opening tally.
"I thought the first period was fairly evenly played, and then we turned one over. We gave up one even strength goal the night we turned one over, and we didn't have enough people in place to protect if there was a turnover, but that ended up being a key moment of the game," Woodcroft said. "That was in the last couple of minutes of the first period. We turned it over, it went in the net, and then we took a penalty not too long after that. So we're down 2-0 a minute into the second period. We felt that were still going to press and we felt good about our team and our game, but we shot ourselves in the foot with taking too many penalties and not being able to kill them. That's a bad recipe."
"It's getting old battling back. You know, it's exhausting," Leon Draisaitl said. "It's tiring. We're just giving up too many goals."

One cause of their recent woes has been a penalty kill that currently ranks third last in the NHL at 67.9 per cent and gave up four PPGs on Monday against the Capitals.
"I mean, you can't give up four power play goals in a game and expect to win it. Flat out not good enough on the penalty kill," Woodcroft said. "I'd also say that we put ourselves in positions to take those penalties that I didn't think all of them we needed to take, and that doesn't help your cause when you're struggling on the penalty kill. Not good enough."
The Oilers coach says he has been mixing up positioning and personnel trying to get the unit to click but there is still work to be done. The Oilers penalty kill percentage jumped from 76.7 to 81.8 per cent when Woodcroft took the reins last season, including having the league's second best kill for the last month of the season. The ability to be reliable while down a man has been demonstrated, it's just about getting back to that level.
"I think maybe just right now, we're a little hesitant. We don't really know when to pressure and when not to pressure, and then we just sit back, and teams just find a way to take advantage of us there," Draisaitl said. "It's something that needs to be cleaned up."
This Oilers squad has the talent and has shown the ability to right the ship and get out of this early season blip. They will be hard pressed to do so in the middle of a difficult road trip, but for a team with high expectations of themselves, the Oilers are prepared to bring the effort against a 7-4-1 Tampa squad on Tuesday night.
"If you play long enough, you know that you go through stretches where things go well and then things don't go as well, and it feels like every little bounce is going in," Zach Hyman said. "That's where you just have to bear down a little harder to get back on a roll."

PREVIEW

OILERS at LIGHTNING
STREAM: 6:30 p.m. MT; televised on Sportsnet One
Oilers Team Scope
The Oilers surrendered four goals to the Capitals powerplay on Monday night in a 5-4 defeat that opened back-to-back road games and a four-game Eastern Conference road trip for the Blue & Orange.
Connor McDavid scored a beautiful goal for his league-leading 13th goal of the season in his 500th career NHL game, but the Oilers couldn't outscore their penalty trouble that contributed to a tough 1-for-5 evening for the penalty kill.
The PK dropped to 67.9 percent (38-for-56), the third lowest in the League, and poor collective discipline has led to the Oilers being shorthanded a league-high 56 times this season.
"Way too many penalties," Draisaitl said. "It seems like we're killing at least 10 minutes every game, so that's something that needs to be cleaned up."
The Oilers have now lost three straight and look to re-discover their game in Tuesday's tilt with the Lightning in Tampa Bay.

Lightning Team Scope
The Lightning traded goals with the Buffalo Sabres for 55 minutes until Nick Perbix notched the game-winner with his first NHL goal in a 5-3 victory for Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Tampa Bay held a lead three times against Buffalo but dug deep to earn two points over Buffalo in an Atlantic Division matchup. Nikita Kucherov had a goal and three assists to extend his point streak to 10 games, while backup netminder Brian Elliott got the win with 21 saves.
"We put a lot of pressure on them, I thought, for large parts of the game," Head Coach Jon Cooper said. "We really needed [Elliott] tonight, especially when we fell behind and he stopped the breakaway and a couple Grade-A chances. If those go in, who knows what happens?"
"But I like the perseverance the group had. Moose gave us life when he made that save and then we took it from there. A little too loose in our end, but for the most part, we'll take this."
The Lightning have responded to a tempered 1-3-0 start to their season by winning six of their last eight games and four of their last five contests.
