Campbell, 31, is in the second year of a five-year, US$25-million contract. He has a 1-4-0 record with a 4.50 goals-against average and .873 save percentage in five appearances with Edmonton this season. "When you lose a guy like that, it sucks," said Hyman, who is second on the team with four goals and 10 points."I think it’s a wake-up call to the group that our standards need to be better. Collectively as a group we need to be better.The Oilers have lost seven of their last eight games, including a 6-2 defeat to the Vancouver Canucks on Monday. During that stretch they have been outscored 34-19 and allowed four or more goals five times.
Campbell's demotion leaves Stuart Skinner as Edmonton’s No. 1 goalie, but he has also struggled. Skinner has a 1-4-1 record, 3.99 goals-against average and .856 save percentage. He gave up six goals on 36 shots against the Canucks.
