Jarry continues to stumble as Oil Kings fall to Silvertips

The Edmonton Oil Kings continued their early season struggles on Wednesday night, dropping yet another game on home ice, falling 4-2 to the visiting Everett Silvertips. Defenceman Matt Pufahl  and forward Joshua Winquist did all the scoring for the Silvertips, while Cody Corbett had both goals for the Oil Kings in a losing effort.

According to TSN's Bob McKenzie, the Edmonton Oilers may be interested in adding a top defenceman to their backend and hinted at Toronto Maple Leafs blueliner Jake Gardiner as a possible target.
