Edmonton Oilers Scorch Devils to Return to Win Column

Having lost four of their last five games, the Edmonton Oilers knew heading into Friday’s game that they had to deliver – and fast. They didn’t disappoint with a strong 6-3 win over the Devils.

Edmonton got a pair of early first-period goals from Drake Caggiula and Ryan Strome to put them up 2-0. And though the Devils would tie it to start the second, Oscar Klefbom and Milan Lucic would retaliate to give the Oilers a 4-2 lead heading into the third. Leon Draisaitl would score his third of the season a little over midway through the third period, and though New Jersey would cut the lead to two soon after, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored on an empty net to secure a 6-3 win for the Oilers.
