Connor McDavid is back and the blender is out. Ahead of Monday’s game against the Seattle Kraken, Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch made a few changes to his team’s forward lines.

The Detroit Red Wings made their only trip to Edmonton on Thursday night (Jan. 30) to battle the Oilers from Rogers Place with both teams riding three-game winning streaks.

Finishing with a season-high 45 saves, goalie Alex Lyon helped the Red Wings (25-21-5; 55 points) earn their second straight multi-goal comeback win and third of the season. As for the Oilers (32-15-4; 68 points), they saw netminder Stuart Skinner make 33 saves.

That won’t be the case against Seattle, as Adam Henrique is lining up between Vasily Podkolzin and Viktor Arvidsson while Nugent-Hopkins is skating with Mattias Janmark and Connor Brown.

Thursday was one of those days when the Oilers didn't have their best stuff, could have won but didn't and at least came away with a point.

How old is too old? As Brandon Saad leaves St. Louis, the team now being run by his old GM from Chicago — Stan Bowman — is musing about whether he’d be a smart add. Mark Spector looks at whether the Oilers should add the 32-year-old winger.

The fourth line, with Carrick skating between giant wingers Edstrom and Rempe, has been contributing offensively of late.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored two goals to help the Edmonton Oilers beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2. Edmonton improved to 21-6-1 in its last 28 games.

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.

Seth Jarvis had two goals and sparked the Carolina Hurricanes' big second period in a 7-4 victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday in Raleigh, N.C.
