The Edmonton Oilers have appointed Kris Knoblauch as their new head coach, hoping for a turnaround following a poor start to the season. Knoblauch previously coached Connor McDavid at OHL Erie and the Hartford Wolf Pack. The team will play their first game under Knoblauch's leadership against the New York Islanders, with a strong home record against the Islanders in recent years. Knoblauch has already made changes to the team's line-up and practice routines, including separating McDavid and Draisaitl during morning skate.
