Justin Schultz tied for 828th in the NHL with a minus-19 rating.
That's only plus-three higher than the NHL's worst rating. "It's been a tough season for a lot of us," said Schultz. "It's not like the AHL or college, where you can afford to make a mistake and guys won't capitalize. Here, you make a mistake and they're going to put it in the back of your net." Schultz has still performed well offensively with seven goals and 23 points in 46 games. Schultz still has a lot of upside and we wouldn't read too much into his plus/minus rating, especially given that he's a rookie on a bad team. Depending on the changes the Oilers make over the summer, Schultz could do much better in 2013-14.
