EDMONTON, Alberta — In an impressive performance on Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers secured a decisive 6-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, driven by standout efforts from Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman, who both netted two goals. Connor McDavid also contributed significantly with four assists during the match, showcasing his playmaking skills.

Alongside Draisaitl and Hyman’s goals, Mattias Ekholm and Jeff Skinner found the net for the Oilers, helping the team to claim victory in four of their last five games. Draisaitl’s scoring prowess brought him to a tie for the NHL lead with 19 goals, underscoring his status as one of the league’s top scorers. McDavid, with his four-assist game, made history by becoming the third player in the franchise’s legacy to achieve ten career games with four assists or more, joining legends Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri.

On the other side, the Blue Jackets faced disappointment as they saw their winning streak come to an end, having lost two consecutive games after a run of 6-1-1. Scoring for Columbus were Kevin Lablanc, Damon Severson, and Cole Sillinger, but their efforts weren’t enough to turn the tide.

In goal, Calvin Pickard racked up 19 saves for the Oilers, demonstrating effective defensive prowess, while Daniil Tarasov faced a barrage of shots, making 31 saves for Columbus in a challenging night against a potent Oilers offense.
