Didn't see much of game. Just wondering how Russell is being employed. Notice he got a G&A with 1 PPA. Is he getting some offensive looks or just a RARE FEAT?

He replaced Matt Benning on the 2nd PP in the latter part of the game as Benning was terrible yesterday. He continues to be a mainstay on the 2nd pairing.
Lineup update - projected for tonight's game against Winnipeg
Maroon - McDavid - Draisaitl
Lucic - RNH - Slepyshev
Jokinen - Strome - Kassian
Khaira - Letestu - Yamamot0 - Pakarinen (Khaira looks to be sitting out tonight)
Caggiula is day to day with an injury.
Remember when someone was projecting Ryan Strome with 72 points this season? Good times. He played just 10 minutes against Vancouver. I didn't watch the game, so was there an injury or is that just what they think of him?
Line up at practice today:
Maroon - McDavid - Yamamoto
Lucic - RNH - Strome
Khaira - Letestu - Pakarinen
Jokinen - Malone - Slepyshev
Pakarinen as the extra forward

So is there any room for optimisim for Jokinen as a darkhorse for 50ish?? Im guessing no...

(Double post from the Yamamoto thread... figured there is more Oilers knowledge in here)
Does Yamamoto have legit upside if he sticks with McD? (Assuming Drai is out for the forseeable future)
Debating whether to drop Eric Staal for him... as ridiculous as that sounds lol
He does yes. He has shown (IMO) strong flashes of offensive brilliance. That being said I don't think their is any way he sticks past the 9 games. The Oilers are going to need cheap players starting next year, I don't think they can justify burning a year of Yamo's ELC for the minutes he has played so far.

NO IR
I know its early but what is going on here? McDavid only has 3 assists and no goals in his last 4 games. No one else has more than 3 points when it seems like 25 % of the league is averaging a point a game. They have lost 3 in a row at home to Winnipeg, Ottawa and Carolina being outscored 16 to 6. Is this concerning? I'm sure they will turn it around but with this teams history the last 5 years or so, who knows.
