The Oilers may boast the league’s top point-getter, and they may be jostling for the No. 1 spot in the Pacific Division, but even this rejuvenated version can’t seem to solve the Coyotes in regulation.
Despite falling into a two-goal hole and facing perhaps the best Edmonton group they’ve seen in years, the Coyotes kept their franchise-best point streak against the Oilers intact by rallying for a 3-2 shootout win at Gila River Arena in the first of two straight against their Pacific Division rivals.
Arizona will visit Edmonton on Sunday for a matinee at Rogers Place looking to extend the streak to 25 games after improving to 19-0-5.
