Vegas Coaching CHAOS! + Savoie BREAKS OUT With McDavid & Bouchard's Norris Case

Welcome to Locked on Oilers with your host Nick Zararis! The Edmonton Oilers are finding silver linings through injuries, and massive coaching shifts in the Pacific Division are shaking up the league!

Savoie Stepping Up: We dive into Matthew Savoie's incredible month of March. With Leon Draisaitl sidelined, Savoie has seized top-six minutes and is thriving alongside Connor McDavid.

Bouchard for Norris: Evan Bouchard has hit the 20-goal mark and is playing the best hockey of his life. We discuss why his elite game-processing makes him a legitimate Norris Trophy finalist.

Vegas Shockwave: The Vegas Golden Knights have fired Bruce Cassidy and brought in John Tortorella! We break down what this means for a potential playoff matchup and if the Oilers should target Cassidy this offseason if they move on from Chris Knoblauch.
