Sportsnet's Gene Principe breaks down how the Edmonton Oilers are feeling at training camp and how they know what needs to be done to not only continue their recent success, but to build off it.

The Edmonton Oilers trimmed down their training camp roster on Sunday after assigning five players back to their junior teams.

Kirill Maksimov (Niagara IceDogs), Ostap Safin (St. John Sea Dogs), Dmitri Samorukov (Guelph Storm), Stuart Skinner (Lethbridge Hurricanes) and Dylan Wells (Peterborough Petes) were all sent back to their respective teams.
