The #Oilers win their fifth straight, 4-1 against the #LAKings. They’re the only team that has not lost in regulation this season. #NHL

The #Flames get their first win of the season. Good effort to beat the #Ducks 4-2 #NHL

The #Flames still looking for their first win. Lose 4-2 to the #NHLDucks #NHL

Evan Bouchard recorded his sixth goal of the season to lead the League and the @EdmontonOilers netted five goals in the second period! 🤩

Don't miss third period action on NHL Network!

Connor McDavid is off to a HOT start! 🔥

Evan Bouchard is the first defenseman to the 10-point plateau this season, joining a short list of blueliners in NHL history to reach the mark in four or fewer games.

Good win by the #Oilers. Scored five goals in the second to win 5-2 at the #NHLDucks #NHL

[Derek Van Diest @DerekVanDiest]

The rare 6-on-3 … #Oilers #NHLDucks #NHL

[Derek Van Diest @DerekVanDiest]

Five goals for the #Oilers in the second period. I guess they figured out that long change … #NHLDucks #

[Derek Van Diest @DerekVanDiest]

Two more goals for Evan Bouchard tonight. On pace for a 210-point season #Oilers #NHLDucks #NHL

[Derek Van Diest @DerekVanDiest]

Kasperi Kapanen has been excellent through the #Oilers first four games. Scores on the power play to tie it 2-2. #NHLDucks #NHL

[Derek Van Diest @DerekVanDiest]

No one anywhere near Beckett
Sennecke in front on that second #NHLDucks goal. 2-0. #Oilers #NHL

[Derek Van Diest @DerekVanDiest]

Big win for the #NHLJets. Stuart Skinner makes 32 saves in a 3-2 victory over the #Avalanche. #NHL

Trying to get good at chess is going to be the death of me …
