The Detroit Red Wings traveled to take on the Edmonton Oilers. Both teams were playing well and had win streaks on the line. Detroit goaltender Alex Lyon was looking for his first win since January 4,

This fall, the Oilers played centres Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl an average of 22 minutes per game from October through December. It was a slight increase in usage compared to the same period in the previous season. That’s a lot of hockey, which brings worry over fatigue and lower performance levels as the team chugs toward the postseason.

Thursday was one of those days when the Oilers didn't have their best stuff, could have won but didn't and at least came away with a point.

The Edmonton Oilers saw their three-game winning streak come to an end on Thursday (Jan. 30), losing 3-2 to the Detroit Red Wings in a game decided by a shootout at Rogers Place.

There’s always a fun energy in the building when the Edmonton Oilers face the Detroit Red Wings, and that was certainly the case on Thursday night at Rogers Place.

It has not been the type of season that the Edmonton Oilers had envisioned for free-agent signing Jeff Skinner.

How far down the Oilers' pecking order has Skinner dropped? He played 13:34 in Thursday's 6-2 win over Vancouver − and that was his biggest ice time total since Dec. 3.

Zach Hyman had two goals and an assist and Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-2 on Thursday. “Happy with all the players,” Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said after the game.

Lucas Raymond and Dylan Larkin scored in a shootout to complete a comeback from a two-goal deficit and give the Detroit Red Wings a 3-2 win over the host Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Dylan Larkin tied it in the second period and scored in a shootout to help the Detroit Red Wings beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Thursday night.

It did not go well. The Oilers only managed to get one shot on net in two opportunities, while the Detroit Red Wings scored on both of theirs. Just like that, a 2-0 first-period lead turned into a 3-2 shootout loss.
