In the midst of heightened criticism and pressure, the Edmonton Oilers navigated a significant coaching change, parting ways with head coach Jay Woodcroft and assistant Dave Manson, and welcoming Kris Knoblauch.

Amidst this transition, frustration within the team spilled onto the ice during a game against the New York Islanders, prompting action from the NHL player safety committee.
Feeling the heat, Leon Draisaitl delivered a controversial crosscheck to the back of Islanders center Bo Horvat's legs. The incident, widely shared on social media, triggered swift responses from fans on The X platform, demanding repercussions. Despite no penalty during the game, the NHL responded to the contentious crosscheck by issuing a maximum fine of $5,000 to Draisaitl.
This fine emphasizes the NHL's commitment to upholding player safety and fair play, even amid the turbulence surrounding the Edmonton Oilers.
