The Edmonton Oilers blew a 3-1 third period to the New York Rangers, ultimately losing in overtime. The Oilers continue to struggle in October, can Edmonton find its identity before it's too late? Host Nick Zararis breaks down the Oilers defensive meltdown that saw Evan Bouchard Darnell Nurse and Stuart Skinner all make critical mistakes in the final frame that gave the Rangers the back door back in. Nick highlights Matthew Savoie for picking up his first career goal, the stark contrast between Tuesday's disciplined, thorough victory over Utah and Thursday's regression. Nick also discusses the technical breakdown of Bouchard's defensive mistakes, the team's overall lackadaisical mentality towards October hockey and whether the team's "we'll turn it on when we need to," approach is creating bad habits.
