Nick Schultz was booed by the crowd in Anaheim on Monday.
The boos were meant for his teammate Justin Schultz who refused to sign with the Ducks last season and became an unrestricted free agent, eventually signing with the Oilers. Some fans in Anaheim could not distinguish between the two and hence Nick was booed. He scored his first goal of the season in a 2-1 loss. Maybe the boos were good for him.

Nick Schultz scored his first goal of the season in the Oilers 2-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks.
While Justin Schultz is an offensive gem, Nick is a rugged defensive defenseman who doesn't offer much in the oppositions zone. Look elsewhere for blueline help.

Nick Schultz thinks Oilers coach Ralph Krueger is getting through to the team.
"They're still showing things after games where we need to be better," Schultz said. "Guys are starting to buy into that and realize that the good teams we come up against, like Chicago and other teams that are playing well and having success, they stick to their game plan, stick to their system. If it means being back in a certain spot, even though you're an offensive guy, you've got to do it. That's how you generate chances and win games, and ultimately, that's what you want." Edmonton isn't short on talent, but it might take some time before their young core can help transform the Oilers into a genuine Stanley Cup contender. In the meantime, the Oilers still have a shot to make the playoffs in 2013.

Nick Schultz is a possible candidate to be paired with AHL super rookie Justin Schultz when NHL play resumes.
He could serve as the defensive conscious of the Schultz tandem and help give Justin an easier time in his own zone with his mobility and veteran savvy. Coach Ralph Krueger will probably keep his shutdown pair of Ladislav Smid and Jeff Petry together and that would leave Ryan Whitney to skate alongside Corey Potter.
