He hit the ice for over 20 minutes, but got burned on multiple occasions. One such example was Olivier’s second of the night.Here’s a look at the tally as shown on the Blue Jackets’ official X account:The replay shows Walman trying to locate the puck behind the net. By the time he reacts, the pass came out front to Olivier. Walman tried to get his stick in the way, but Olivier got the shot away before Walman could do anything about it.The puck hit the back of the net and made the game 5-2 at the time. Olivier’s second tally stood as the game-winner.#2 Andrew MangiapaneThe Edmonton Oilers forward had a terrible night defensively. He ended up a minus-4 on the night in a little over 11 minutes of ice time across 18 shifts. Mangiapane rode the bench most of the game as the Oilers looked to mount a comeback.Mangiapane’s defensive shortcomings were evident, such as on this play:Mateychuk moved in from the blue line to take the shot on goal. Meanwhile, Mangiapane was unable to get to the puck, allowing the Blue Jackets’ defenseman to notch his fourth of the year.#1 Brett KulakBrett Kulak is another Edmonton Oilers blueliner who got burned on multiple occasions by the Blue Jackets. He hit the ice for a little over 16 minutes across 20 shifts, but failed to be a solid presence on the ice.Here’s a look at one example:Fantilli made short work of the Oilers' defense on this play. Kulak, in particular, was unable to corral the puck and keep Fantilli from getting to the puck and beating Calvin Pickard.It’s worth pointing out that Pickard made the initial save. However, Kulak could not clear the rebound, allowing Fantilli to walk in and make it a 4-2 game at the time.The Oilers will have a chance to get back into the win column as they take on the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday at PNC Arena.
