The Oilers should abandon that zone defense strategy. Their defensemen just aren't smart enough or coordinated enough to handle it. If you get them moving around just a little bit, they get so confused and scattered, and they all lose position.
I get why they are trying it though. They just don't have good enough individual defensemen to play man-to-man, but at this point, it couldn't possibly be worse.
