NHL Oilers win 16th in a row, one shy of tying record streak
The Edmonton Oilers won their 16th game in a row on Saturday, defeating Nashville 4-1 to move one game shy of matching the longest win streak in NHL history.
The home victory enabled Edmonton to match the 2016-17 Columbus Blue Jackets for the second-longest winning streak in NHL history.
The Oilers can equal the NHL record win streak set by the 1992-93 Pittsburgh Penguins when they visit the reigning Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights on February 6.
Should the Oilers match the NHL record run with a victory in Vegas, they would have a chance to set a new mark by winning at Anaheim on February 9.
There will be an extended break for the NHL All-Star Game, to be played next Saturday in Toronto.
Connor McDavid had a goal and three assists, Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had a goal and an assist and Zach Hyman scored his team-high 30th goal of the season for the Oilers in the victory over Nashville.
Edmonton goaltender Stuart Skinner made 29 saves for his 12th consecutive victory as the Oilers improved to 29-15 with one overtime loss, sixth in the Western Conference.
The Oilers have not lost since dropping a 3-1 contest at the New York Islanders on December 19. The win streak began with a 6-3 triumph two nights later at New Jersey.
Edmonton won the last five games played in 2023, then completed an 11-0 sweep of January contests by beating Nashville.
