The Edmonton Oilers continued their winning streak on Tuesday night, as they defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1. The Oilers have now won eight games in a row, and are continuing to show why they are one of the top teams in the NHL.
Leading the way for the Oilers was none other than superstar Connor McDavid. McDavid recorded two assists in the game, and now has an impressive total of 56 points on the season. He is currently tied for second in the league in points, and is showing no signs of slowing down.
The Oilers also got contributions from other players in the game. Leon Draisaitl scored two goals, while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zack Kassian each added one. Goaltender Mikko Koskinen made 24 saves on 25 shots to earn his 15th win of the season.
The win was a big one for the Oilers, as they continue to make a push for the playoffs. With the win, they have now moved into third place in the Pacific Division, and are just two points behind the Vegas Golden Knights for second place.
McDavid’s performance was a big part of the win, and it’s clear that he is playing at an elite level. He has been a key part of the Oilers’ success this season, and will be a major factor if they are able to make a deep playoff run.
The Oilers will look to keep their winning streak alive when they take on the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday night. If they can get another win, it would be their ninth consecutive victory, and would further prove that they are one of the top teams in the NHL.
