Oilers' Campbell: 'Just disappointed to let them down' in 7-5 loss

It was a barnburner in Winnipeg on Saturday night as the Jets prevailed over the Edmonton Oilers 7-5.

"Just disappointed to let them down," Oilers netminder Jack Campbell said following the contest. "A couple I want back, and that would've been the difference."

The 31-year-old allowed six goals on 38 shots against the Jets. He's lost five consecutive starts, allowing 23 goals with a .846 save percentage over this stretch.

"I just know I can be so much better for this group," Campbell continued. "I'm definitely gonna keep working to get there."

Campbell signed a five-year, $25-million contract with Edmonton last summer.

"I think both coaching staffs look at that game as a lot of sloppy mistakes and in the end, they found that extra goal, found the extra save, and they found the two points and we didn't get that tonight," Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft said.

Leon Draisaitl recorded his eighth career hat trick to eclipse the 40-goal plateau for the fourth time in the losing effort.

"That's not really the game we want to play," Draisaitl said of the high-scoring affair. "It's obvious we can play that way but that's not the style we want to play."

The Oilers fall to 34-22-8 on the campaign with the loss. Edmonton is fourth in the Pacific Division and is in the Western Conference's top wild-card position.
