Of all the new faces in the Oilers' team, I thought Tomasek had a good game. Special shoutout to Managiapane for scoring a goal, but aside from that I believe he got caved quite a bit 5v5. Doesn't seem to be the same 5v5 player we once had, maybe Backlund and Coleman were the reason for it.

Mang was great on that goal but that was the only shift I noticed him all game. I agree that Howard looked a lot better than he did in the preseason, but I think it'll be a tall ask for him to get anywhere close to 40 points this year. He would really benefit from a season in the AHL.
