Draisaitl said. "We've had this power-play unit together for so long, for so many years, and you have a new guy coming in, he brings different things to the table, a different player, so sometimes it just takes a little bit.""I think Tyse has done a great job of adjusting and understanding the way that we want to play on the power play," Draisaitl added later. "Yup, he's been a big help for us.""When you put a right-hander on Gerald Henderson Jersey there, it changed the Maurice Cheeks Jersey look of it. It's taken some time, but Tyson's game, the last couple of games, I think,are the best games he's played," Tippett said. "He's starting to move the right direction, the dynamic player we were hoping for. So he's played better, ourpower play's getting more comfortable and we've found some results."orousdefense puts a damper on the nightThe five goals against were reminiscent of the Oilers' title teams, too, and that's something the '21 squad will try to clean up before Tuesday."Obviously, giving up five, that's not going to cut it most nights," Draisaitl said.

But we're obviously looking to be a lot tighter next game."Welcome to the NHL, Stuart SkinnerSkinner had to deal with defensive Julius Erving Jersey breakdowns while also making his NHL debut with his hometown team and playing in a game for the first time in more than 11 months. The 22-year-old from Edmonton made 33 saves on 38 shots. He allowed three goals in the first and two more in the third, but the offense gave him enough breathing room."It definitely helps when you're up five or however many we were at the time," he said. "Kind of Markelle Fultz Jersey lets you get your feet underneath you and kind of take a couple of deep breaths and settle in."Skinner's last game before Sunday was March 6, 2020,for the Oilers' AHL affiliate in Bakersfield, Calif.
