Oilers have looked better for sure (certainly better than their opening, at least), but I'd put the biggest share of the blame for the Hawks on Crawford directly.

Crawford was bad last night at everything.

Both goaltenders were bad at handling the puck last night, but he handed a goal away into an empty net.

The Oilers are the better team but are mistake prone. Crawford just has to do enough to give his team a chance and he didn't yesterday.

The Penguins firmly asserted the game 1 overtime was a fluke.

The Hurricanes, Islanders, Penguins, Oilers are pretty clearly better than their opponents when not making mistakes. I'd say the Predators are close to that discussion, and l suspect Vancouver will be more in their second period form today where they showed flashes of being above Minnesota.

If any team is sticking out to me right now, its Carolina. They are dismantling the Rangers in a series originally thought to be evenly contested. I think they will do it again tonight, and I wouldn't want to be the 3 seed that gets stuck playing them.

I also have a feeling.. If Toronto ever finally scores one, that one is going to multiply pretty quickly.
