Oilers know they're the hunted under weight of heavy expectations

The Edmonton Oilers came within one win of the NHL summit last season and are expected to ascend to similar heights again. As Western Conference champions who lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final to the Florida Panthers the Oilers will be the hunted this season, with opponents clearly amped when they're on the bingo card. Such was the case when the Winnipeg Jets rolled into Edmonton and put up a convincing 6-0 victory at Rogers Place on Wednesday.
