EDMONTON, Alberta -- Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl each had a goal and two assists and the Edmonton Oilers won their 16th straight game to move within one of tying the NHL record, defeating the Nashville Predators 4-1 on Saturday.
Edmonton will attempt to tie the record set by the 1992-93 Pittsburgh Penguins when its returns from the All-Star break to play at Vegas on Feb. 6. The Oilers matched the 2016-17 Columbus Blue Jackets for the second-longest streak.
"This past week wasn't our best hockey," McDavid said, summing up a run in which the Oilers defeated the Chicago Blackhawks and Columbus Blue Jackets before topping the Predators.
