One of the biggest things the Oilers have done well is neutralizing our D-to-D in the offensive zone cycle and used it against us. Our D are typically very active, but the Oilers speed and transition game has not only neutralized our offensive cycle but used it against us to generate scoring chances/draw penalties.
I'm not a coach and don't have the answer to this, but imagine it's better decision making in our offensive zone cycle coupled with a better job by the high forward to not leave the D in as vulnerable spot where they're flat-footed against all world speed.
Couple things that have annoyed me in our cycle is the pass to a semi-covered player in the slot, which is not only turning the puck over but gets them out of our zone with numbers.
Better puck management in the offensive zone is, in my view, the biggest area of improvement to look for in game 4.
