Campbell has started 6 games and has gone 4-2-0, but it's other statistics that are troubling. Campbell's goals against average sits at 3.89, while also owning an .888 save percentage. These struggles seem to have carried over from his second half in Toronto last season.
Now it appears Oilers' Head Coach, Jay Woodcroft has already relegated Campbell to a backup role. Before tonight's game Woodcroft announced the team was opting to start Stuart Skinner in place of Campbell.
While Woodcroft continues to try and temper the media's reaction it's clear Skinner has given the Oilers much better goaltending. Skinner currently had a save percentage of .954 and a GAA of 1.44 in 3 appearances.
This is situation to watch. The Oilers are looking to contend and they're going to run with whoever gives them the best chance to win.
