Fantasy Hockey: Week 3 - The Truth Behind the Oilers’ Struggles

Brock Seguin is joined by Zach Laing (Oilers Nation) to break down the Edmonton Oilers’ slow start — and why fantasy managers shouldn’t panic just yet on Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, or Evan Bouchard. The guys dive into the numbers behind Edmonton’s early struggles: Why McDavid’s shot volume and finishing luck are due for a rebound Draisaitl’s unsustainably high shooting percentage and low assist totals Why Bouchard’s “ugly turnovers” are overshadowing elite underlying metrics How the Oilers’ power play (–0.87 goals below expected per game) has quietly dragged everyone’s fantasy value down They also touch on Stuart Skinner’s outlook as a buy-low goalie target and how the upcoming schedule could spark an Edmonton turnaround. Plus, Brock opens the show with the latest News & Notes from around the NHL — including injuries to Adin Hill, Mark Stone, and Anze Kopitar — before dropping Brock’s Lock of the Day: Connor Garland over 2.5 shots on goal (3-0 on the season and counting). If you’ve got Oilers on your fantasy roster, this is the deep-dive episode you need to reset expectations heading into Week 3 of the Fantasy Hockey season. Hosted on Acast.
