They&rsquo;ve now lost four straight games, a rare rough patch for a team that has been a serious contender in recent seasons. Their struggles began with a loss to the Colorado Avalanche before the 4 Nations Face-Off break. Things didn&rsquo;t improve after that, as they dropped both games of a weekend back-to-back against the Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals. Most recently, they were dominated 4-1 by the Tampa Bay Lightning.<\/p><p>The last time Edmonton endured a four-game skid was during their disastrous start to the 2023-24 season when a 2-9-1 record led to head coach Jay Woodcroft losing his job. Coaching changes after long losing streaks aren&rsquo;t new for the franchise&mdash;back in 2021-22, Dave Tippett was let go following six- and seven-game slides. However, it&rsquo;s hard to imagine Kris Knoblauch&rsquo;s job being in danger, considering he led the Oilers to the Stanley Cup Final in his first season behind the bench. That said, hockey is unpredictable, and Edmonton&rsquo;s struggles against elite teams this season are becoming a concern.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Still no sign of a pulse as Edmonton Oilers lose fourth in a row<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mrHQ9xA2zo\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>https:\/\/t.co\/mrHQ9xA2zo<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dYT9hzy9fe\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/dYT9hzy9fe<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Edmonton Journal (@edmontonjournal) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/edmontonjournal\/status\/1894756926937874606?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>February 26, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>In a recent interview with Sportsnet, GM Stan Bowman shared his concerns about the team&rsquo;s performance and the state of the roster as the trade deadline approaches. <em>&ldquo;Yeah, I&rsquo;m worried about everything,&rdquo; he admitted. &ldquo;I mean, part of the job is to be concerned about having not only the right group of players, but also having them perform to their fullest.

Their next stop is Florida on Thursday, a place that holds painful memories from June when they lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final to the Panthers.
