Current form

Edmonton finally breathed a sigh of relief with a difficult 3-2 victory over Ottawa. Everything was decided in overtime — Connor McDavid, like a giant waking up, opened the scoring for his goals of the season, and Jake Walman, who made his debut for the Oilers, put a bold dot. Isaac Howard added another goal, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins became the brain center of the attacks, skillfully conducting the game. Goalkeeper Stuart Skinner confidently completed 19 shots and scored his hundredth NHL victory, an achievement that inspires in itself.

With this win, the Oilers moved up to fifth place in the Pacific Division, scoring 5 points in six games. The team seems to have finally begun to accelerate, like an icebreaker breaking through the first autumn ice.

The assist on his account was left to Ivan Demidov, who seems to be growing with each game.

Goalkeeper Jakub Dobes was a real revelation with 36 saves against Calgary and a perfect 4-0 record in his debut season.
