Oilers win 16th straight by pouncing on Predators 4-1
EDMONTON — Connor McDavid had a goal and three assists and Leon Draisaitl added a goal and two assists as the Edmonton Oilers extended their impressive streak to 16 consecutive wins with a 4-1 victory over the Nashville Predators on Saturday.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman also scored for the Oilers (29-15-1) who became just the third team in NHL history to have a streak hit the sweet 16 mark — the Columbus Blue Jackets won 16 games in 2016-17, and the Pittsburgh Penguins won a record 17 straight in 1992-93.
The Oilers are now 24-3-0 in their last 27 games and have gone a franchise-record 14 consecutive games allowing two or fewer goals.
Colton Sissons scored for the Predators (26-22-1), who have lost three of their last four.
