Player grades: Sluggish Edmonton Oilers get flattened in Philly

The Oilers had a slow start, then rallied briefly to gain a 2 -1 lead by the first Zamboni before collapsing thereafter.

After yielding 4 goals in a defensively-horrific second period, they responded with just 3 shots on goal in a mail-it-in third .

In all the 12 Oilers forwards mustered just 8 shots on net, and the 6 defencemen blocked none at all.

John Klingberg found the scoresheet twice in the first 10 minutes for his first points as an Oiler .

Viktor Arvidsson won a battle to keep the puck in the zone for what became Klingberg ’s goal after managing to stay barely onside on the entry entry.

# 29 Leon Draisaitl made a great backhand shot to give the Oilers their only lead at 2-1 .

#28 Connor Brown , 4 , earned a secondary assist on the Klingberg goal.

Connor McDavid's boxcars of 0 -0-0, -3 represent the tip of the iceberg of what was a bad day at the office for the captain and his crew.

Had little going on in this one and seemingly no chemistry with his mates.

Was caught puck-watching a little on the 3 -2, when the defencemen got outnumbered after Bouchard 's turnover.
