The Edmonton Oilers lost their season opener to the Vancouver Canucks in overtime, 6-5 on Tuesday. The Edmonton Oilers' performance was deemed sloppy and unacceptable, with coach Dave Babcock making his debut. Key player Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, suffering from a lower-body injury and unable to play, is expected to be sidelined for the season opener. The Oilers will look to bounce back from the early setback.
