Calvin Pickard helped backstop the Oilers to a solid 4-2 victory over the Kraken last night, but his backup also got some attention.

The Edmonton Oilers earned a point but came up short in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Detroit Red Wings last game, but overall, they won 10 of 14 games in January, including five come-from-behind victories.

Not exactly a masterpiece at Rogers Place on Monday night, but the Edmonton Oilers ’ mastery of the Seattle Kraken continued with an eighth consecutive victory for the blue and orange. As was the case in Seattle at the beginning of the month, the Oilers walked away with a 4-2 win, an emtpy-net goal sealing the deal in each instance.

Zach Hyman had two goals and an assist, Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Vancouver Canucks 6-2.

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Zach Hyman had two goals and an assist, Leon Draisaitl had a goal ... who have won nine of their last 12 games. Calvin Pickard made 24 stops in net.

This win for Edmonton — their 32nd in Game 50 on the season — was workmanlike, with goals from Corey Perry and Mattias Janmark and a fine start from backup goalie Calvin Pickard.

Leon Draisaitl continued his MVP-type season with a three-point game. Zach Hyman buried two and could have had four. Calvin Pickard was strong early. And Corey Perry was in full-worm form with a highly effective, agitating display.
