After firing Jay Woodcroft and Dave Manson, Holland took a gamble and brought in rookie Head Coach Kris Knoblauch and Oilers legend Paul Coffey in hopes of lighting a fire under this team and getting them back on the right track.
Outside the coaching change, it seems that the leadership group for this team has also taken the responsibility and shown the fan base that they are what they were advertised as. Connor McDavid has had an incredible run as of late posting 23 points in the last nine games including six goals and 17 assists.
