Oilers Defeat Kraken 4-2, McDavid Returns

The Edmonton Oilers secured a 4-2 victory over the Seattle Kraken, marking their third consecutive win and moving them back into first place in the Pacific Division, one point ahead of the Vegas Golden Knights. Connor McDavid, returning from a suspension, scored to tie the game at 2-2 in the second period, while Corey Perry netted the game-winning goal shortly after. The Oilers were able to rally after falling behind 2-1, with contributions from Mattias Ekholm and Mattias Janmark as well. Seattle's Eeli Tolvanen and Vince Dunn scored, but the Kraken struggled to maintain their early lead and have lost two of their last three games. Meanwhile, Kraken's leading scorer Jared McCann has not scored in his last 15 games, further complicating their offensive efforts. The Oilers are now 11-2 all-time against the Kraken, having won eight straight matches against them.
