A nine-game point streak with eight victories takes the Edmonton Oilers (4th in Pacific Division) to a road encounter with the Philadelphia Flyers (7th in Metropolitan), who have failed to win any of their last four home outings.
The Edmonton Oilers (29-18-4) kicked off their current four-game road trip with their second straight victory, extending their ongoing point streak to nine fixtures (8-0-1) following a 5-2 triumph against the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday. The Oilers scored three snipes in succession in the second period, including two in a span of 36 seconds, after the hosts opened the scoring in the first frame and hit the post three times just before the first intermission. Edmonton added a power-play snipe and a shorthanded empty-netter in the final third, as Warren Foegele (7 goals, 12 points this year) tallied twice, with Connor McDavid (41 goals, 93 points) nabbing an assist to extend his point streak to 13 games (9 goals, 12 assists).
Goalie Jack Campbell made 30 saves on Tuesday and has now gone 16-8-1 for the season with a 3.28 GAA and a .889 save percentage. He has registered a 3-2-0 career record against the Philadelphia Flyers with a 2.60 GAA and a .920 save percentage. The Oilers, meanwhile, are netting the absolute highest quantity of goals per game this year (3.76), while giving up the 13th highest amount in their defensive zone (3.20). They are sitting at the top of the league in power play with a 31.8% success rate and are 23rd in penalty kill with 75.7% efficiency.
