The Edmonton Oilers secured their third consecutive victory by defeating the Seattle Kraken 4-2 at Climate Pledge Arena, bolstering their record to 24-12-3. Early goals from Vasily Podkolzin and Jeff Skinner put the Oilers ahead 2-0 within the first six minutes, with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Leon Draisaitl also contributing to the score. Draisaitl's late empty-net goal marked his 30th assist this season and extended his points streak to 14 games.
