## Resource

The Edmonton Oilers 2025-26 season was marred by injuries, defensive struggles, and goaltending issues, leading to an early playoff exit despite high expectations. Key players like Zach Hyman, Leon Draisaitl, and Kasperi Kapanen missed significant time, and new signing Trent Frederic underperformed offensively. The team ranked 25th in goals against, with a weak penalty kill and a dismal 0.879 save percentage in the playoffs. With a long offseason ahead, the Oilers have work to do to improve their defense, goaltending, and overall performance to contend for the Stanley Cup next season.
