Nail Yakupov is widely considered one of the biggest busts in National Hockey League history. That title is deserved as well. Drafted first overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2012 draft after scoring 31 goals and 69 points in 42 games with the Sarnia Sting in his draft year, the Russian sniper was considered…

Very quietly, the St. Louis Blues are stringing together some games.

It was an ugly night for the Edmonton Oilers. Jason Robertson had two goals and two assists, Wyatt Johnston had another three-point game against Edmonton, and the Dallas Stars went up 5-0 early in the second period, before eventually winning 7-2.
