3 least impressive Edmonton Oilers players from 1-0 loss to Minnesota Wild ft. Connor McDavid

The Edmonton Oilers were shut out 1-0 by the Minnesota Wild in a frustrating home game, outshooting their opponents 33-24 but failing to capitalize on chances, including 0/2 power play.

Skinner was solid between the pipes, making 23 saves on a .958 save percentage, but the offense went cold, with no goals and limited high-danger scoring opportunities.

All Edmonton players finished with zero points, and several had negative +/- ratings due to Jonas Brodin's lone goal at 13:11 of the first period. Here's a look at the least impressive Oilers players in the shutout loss to the Wild on Tuesday night.

3 least impressive Edmonton Oilers players from loss to Minnesota Wild

#3 Evan Bouchard

Bouchard registered zero shots and a -1 +/- in the team's highest 25:46 minutes of shift. He was on the ice for the game's only goal, showcasing a coverage lapse on Brodin's slap shot from the point.

Despite his 22 points this season, Bouchard's limited engagement and failure to drive play from the blue line exacerbated the Edmonton Oilers' offensive drought.

#2 Leon Draisaitl

Leon Draisaitl managed just 3 shots on goal and posted a -1 +/- in 22:58 minutes of ice time. He failed to contribute anything offensively despite 15 goals on the season. His line was hemmed in the defensive zone during the Wild's goal.

As the Oilers' second-leading scorer, his inability to create or convert quality chances in a low-scoring affair made this one of his quieter outings.

#1 Connor McDavid

McDavid, the team's offensive engine, had a similar quiet night to Draisaitl. He just had one shot on goal, zero points, and a -1`+/- rating over 23:24 of ice time. He won 2/3 faceoffs but generated no scoring threats.

In a match where the Oilers needed his elite speed to break through Jasper Wellstedt's shutout bid, McDavid's lack of puck pursuit and shot attempts stood out as particularly underwhelming.

The Edmonton Oilers are sixth in the Pacific Division with an 11-11-5 record. Their next game is against the Seattle Kraken on Thursday. The puck at Rogers Place drops at 9 p.m. ET.
