Babcock sticks with struggling Edmonton Oilers d-man but keeps on scratching another. Same bewildering dynamic on forward lines.

There's no arguing with EDM's winning record. But it took two excellent goalie performances to win the last few games.

Not sustainable.

Babcock's tough love approach faces its biggest challenge

Tristin Jarry gave up two goals. I still graded him as "10 out of 10" in Cult of Hockey game grades.

Why do that?

McDavid, Ekholm, Draisaitl & Bouchard have rarely been better than in last 10 games. Hyman is back.

Frederic, RNH, Dickinson, Hallander, Kapanen, Jones, Dach, Shea, Emberson all OK to good.

A number of players struggling to stay afloat at NHL level, even vs weaker comp.
