On Saturday, in the first period of his first NHL game this season, Puljujarvi scored against the New York Rangers. He shot the puck like a goal-scorer, and the Oilers are in desperate need of that kind of skill. With eight goals on the road trip, the Oilers remain the lowest scoring team in the league, averaging a measly 2.18 per game. He scored 35 goals in his first 98 games with the Oilers, while shooting at 16 per cent. Unless the Oilers can get more production up and down the lineup, they won't be around for the playoffs.
