Oilers Snap Losing Streak, Beat Panthers 4-3
MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – Derek Ryan got his first NHL hat trick as the Edmonton Oilers snapped their two-game losing streak, beating the Florida Panthers 4-3 on Saturday.
After goalie Mikko Koskinen denied Mason Marchment’s shot on a 3-on-1 break near the end of the second period, Ryan tapped in a pass from Evander Kane for the hat trick and a 4-2 lead.

“Getting my first hat trick at the ripe age of 35 feels pretty good,” said Ryan, who was then told he was the oldest Oiler to post a three-goal game. “I’ll put that on the wall, eh?”
Leon Draisaitl netted his team-leading 36th goal, and Connor McDavid had two assists for Edmonton, which is 6-2 under new coach Jay Woodcroft.
