Edmonton Oilers Make Massive Decision Regarding Their Head Coach

Just in, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman dropped a bombshell announcing the Edmonton Oilers decision to part ways with head coach Jay Woodcroft.

This decision unfolds amidst the Oilers' rocky start to the season, struggling with a 3-9-1 record, including a surprising loss to the struggling San Jose Sharks. The Oilers find themselves uncomfortably close to the bottom, raising concerns about their ability to harness the talent of star player Connor McDavid.


Woodcroft's coaching stint with the Oilers spans parts of 3 seasons, amassing 133 games with a record of 79-41-13. The team, now on the hunt for a fresh perspective, faces a challenging climb back to success. This change marks the 5th coaching transition during the Connor McDavid era, highlighting the organization's quest for a winning formula.
