They can still pull this one off. The Oilers have collapsed several times this season and all NJ seems to do is come from behind. The way some of you dudes are talking you'd think it was 4-0.

We’re still in it, but they’ve really been all over us.

Zacha has looked a lot better tonight. Hynes has him on the first line, and he looks like he belongs. If Zacha is able to find some confidence and consistency, which I think he will soon, that could be his permanent spot. He has been making smart plays rather than panicked ones, which we have not seen much of since preseason. I also really like Bratt with Hischier. There's some chemistry there, and they were creating some decent chances. Bratt's goal reminded me of the type of goal Ovechkin scores: a quick shot while turning around, before even getting a proper look at the goal.

I know I'm jumping the gun based on a couple of observations from one game, but this could be a very solid lineup when the team is fully healthy:

Hall-Zacha-Palmieri

Bratt-Hischier-Stafford

Henrique-Zajac-Johansson

Wood-Boyle-Hayes

 

Also, when did the D get so bad? Greene and Severson really did take steps back this season. Honestly, Hynes should try giving more responsibility to Butcher, Mueller, and Santini, who have been better than Greene and Severson as of lately.
