Edmonton one win away from NHL record, Draisatl surpasses 800 points in regular season

Edmonton Oilers beat the Nashville Predators for their 16th consecutive win. Goaltender Skinner and McDavid and Draisatil contributed to the victory, scoring a total of seven points. In addition, Draisatl broke the NHL’s 800-point mark in the duel.

16th straight win by Edmonton

Edmonton Oilers vs. Nashville Predators (4:1) was a great performance by goalie Stuart Skinner, who allowed only one of 30 shots. Considering the disastrous start of the season, when the Oilers lost ten of their first 12 games, it is unbelievable what the Oilers are doing.

He has long since broken the club record set in the 1980s for consecutive wins. It also holds the record for most games won in a row by a Canadian club. Now the Oilers are within reach of the NHL’s all-time record.

The most visible pairing in the game was Connor McDavid and Leon Draisatl. The former recorded four points on a goal and three assists and the German cannonballer recorded three points on a goal and two assists. The Edmonton team is now just one game away from equaling the NHL’s all-time record.

In the 1992/93 season, the Pittsburgh Penguins managed to win seventeen games in a row. They can equal the record on the ice of the Vegas Golden Knights, where the Edmonton team will travel after the break for an exhibition game of the stars.

In addition, for the second time in his career, Connor McDavid has already recorded an 18-point home streak in which he has scored at least one point. He has totaled 38 points on 11 goals and 27 assists this season.

Correy Perry also made his first appearance for the Edmonton team. He signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Oilers this week. And he’s expected to bring experience to the playoffs, where Edmonton traditionally hasn’t done well. He played nearly 13 minutes and had two shots on goal.

Leon Draisatl reached the 800-point mark in the regular season

Leon Draisatl had a big anniversary in this game. With three points in the game, he surpassed the 800-point mark in the NHL regular season. He reached that mark in his 683rd game and is currently at 801 points on 329 goals and 472 assists.

The Canadien, who has already managed to break the 50-goal mark three times in his career, is holding back a bit so far this season. He has scored 23 goals so far. With 57 points, he is Edmonton’s second most productive man. It’s the ninth time in a row that he’s broken the 50-point mark.
