The Edmonton Oilers have been one of the best teams in the NHL over the last couple months, and they just keep on rolling. On Saturday (Jan. 11), Edmonton rallied from a two-goal deficit to defeat the host Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 at United Center.
The Oilers prove their ability to win even without the best player in the game, as Leon Draisaital and Zach Hyman dominate with some help from Corey Perry.

In a highly anticipated NHL Pacific Division clash, the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-2 at Rogers Place on Thursday (Jan. 23). Zach Hyman scored twice for the Oilers, who charged out to a 3-0 lead after the first period and went ahead 5-0 in the middle frame.
Garland, of all people, jabbed at Calvin Pickard when the Oilers goalie had the puck covered midway through the second period, which ignited a scrum behind the net. Perry quickly got involved. He was about to grab Canucks centre Elias Pettersson until he saw defenceman Quinn Hughes, who’d come in off his point, without a dance partner.
The Edmonton Oilers had a bad taste in their mouth after their last game against the Vancouver Canucks, but they enjoyed some revenge on Thursday with a 6-2 victory.

Zach Hyman had two goals and an assist and Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-2 on Thursday.
He also endured a few rocky seasons with the Sabres that ended in him being bought out. In his first year with the Edmonton Oilers, he’s gone from a high-profile free-agent signee to someone struggling to get into the lineup.
