The Oilers continue to unravel during the game as they were outshot 36-24 and the lightning scored four unanswered goals which left the Oilers defeated and shaking their heads as the team continues to spiral downward with their fourth loss in a row.
The team is baffled by how poorly they're playing, and many felt that the team would continue its rise in the standings after going on an incredible run earlier in the winter.
