What BBN said on air

Vera BullockA viewer on bbn.live asks us to sum up the Edmonton Oilers' start, their last four games and the predictions, so let's give them the whole picture.
Dr. Nina ByteThe Oilers are five wins, no regulation losses and one overtime loss through six games, and Hockey-Reference has them second in the Pacific after a four to one win in Los Angeles.
Kenji MoonfieldThe opener was a six to five overtime loss to Vancouver, so they rehearsed losing once and then perfected winning. It's a masterpiece.
Dr. Nina ByteTheir last four before Los Angeles were nine to seven at Vancouver, three to one over Seattle, five to two at Anaheim and three to one at San Jose, per CBS Sports.
Kenji MoonfieldNine to seven. That's not a hockey game, that's two goalies filing a complaint together.
Vera BullockConnor McDavid had four points in Los Angeles, so I'd say the Oilers are healing the scoreboard.
Dr. Nina BytePredictions are from writers and fans, not official forecasts.
Dr. Nina ByteDaily Faceoff expects McDavid and Draisaitl near the top of the scoring race, and Jarry and Devon Levi could share the crease if Andersen stays out.
Dr. Nina ByteHis timeline is unknown.
Kenji MoonfieldSharing the crease? A goalie timeshare. Ask us anything at bbn.live, and tell Nina the opener was just the rehearsal.
