Back to 500!

The Edmonton Oilers stayed hot over the weekend with back-to-back wins to extend their win streak to seven games. The first win game on Friday night in what was a tight contest versus the Minnesota Wild. A controversial non-call on Evander Kane on Wild defenceman Jonas Brodin, who left the game, led to Evan Bouchard's game-winning goal. That goal gave the Oilers a 4-3 victory to pull them to within one game of a .500 record. The Oilers followed that up with a 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils. Calvin Pickard was between the pipes for that game and put together a great performance. The veteran goaltender stopped 26 of 27 shots, with the lone goal coming in the third period. Edmonton gave him strong run support with goals from Derek Ryan, Evan Bouchard, Evander Kane and Connor McDavid. With the win, the Oilers are now back to 500 on the season with a 12-12-1 record, which leaves them three points out of a wildcard spot.What did you think of the Oilers two games over the weekend?
