After a wild schedule of road games and cross-country flights, the Edmonton Oilers kicked off their six-game home stand against Alex Ovechkin and the red-hot Washington Capitals.

The Edmonton Oilers have their first losing streak since November, while Stuart Skinner specifically has been ineffective for the team in recent games.

The Edmonton Oilers welcomed the NHL’s best, Washington Capitals, to Rogers Place for a Tuesday night tilt (Jan. 21). The Oilers were the better team in this one, but lost 3-2 thanks to another stellar performance from Logan Thompson in the Capitals’ net.

Tom Wilson, Matt Roy and Pierre-Luc Dubois scored and Logan Thompson made 30 saves during a 3-2 win in Edmonton.

The Edmonton Oilers had a dominant 4-0 win over the Boston Bruins, but if there was one stain on an otherwise perfect game, it was the lack of response after Zadorov's hit on Stuart Skinner.

The Edmonton Oilers have to get used to life without superstar captian Connor McDavid, who received a three-game suspension from the NHL for his actions over the weekend against the Vancouver Canucks.

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner is finding new ways to keep hockey fun, and that includes a bold new set of gear.

Connor McDavid scored in the second period and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Los Angeles Kings 1-0 for their second straight win.

Two of the National Hockey League’s top teams will tangle at Rogers Center in Edmonton, Alberta, on Tuesday night.

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Pierre-Luc Dubois had a goal and an assist as the league-leading Washington Capitals won their fifth game in a row, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Tuesday night. Tom Wilson and Matt Roy also scored for the Capitals, who have earned at least a point in an NHL-high 11 straight games, going 8-0-3 in that span.

EDMONTON — Pierre-Luc Dubois had a goal and an assist as the league-leading Washington Capitals won their fifth game in a row, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Tuesday.

The difference in the game was great goaltending from Washington’s Logan Thompson — who was strangely left off of the Team Canada roster — and the fact that the Edmonton power play without McDavid was anemic, with not one Grade A shot in three opportunities.
