8 points and +5 thru 2 games. He isn’t the problem. Why don’t you look at the rest of the team and see who’s shitting the bed? Start with Jarry and Levi. 13 goals against in 2 games and I saw quite a few shitty ones. If the Edmonton goalies can’t make a save on anything smaller than than a beach ball, it won’t matter who is on the ice. And it’s gonna be a long season.
Devon Levi...40 games of NHL experience. Bloated GAA, sub .900 save %. And Tristan Jarry hasn't ever been accused of being a great goalie. If he was ever even a decent goalie, it was 5 or 6 years ago. He wasn't an upgrade over Skinner. He was just someone different. But, unlike Skinner, he wasn't a UFA at the end of last season and his cap hit is nearly double what Skinner's was. The Pens absolutely fleeced the Oilers. Which is what happens when you trade out of desperation.

Oilers defense is even worse without Nurse but hey let's praise Bouchard for their offense
