Edmonton Oilers Defeat Utah Hockey Club 4-1, Ending Two-Game Losing Streak

Connor McDavid and Connor Brown each notched two assists as the Oilers continued their strong December form with a dominant home performance.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored the go-ahead goal early in the second period, while Leon Draisaitl, Mattias Ekholm, and Troy Stecher also found the net for Edmonton.
Connor McDavid extended his point streak to 12 games, contributing 23 points during that span, and surpassed Mark Messier for third place in all-time Oilers scoring.
Utah's leading scorer Clayton Keller was a late scratch, and rookie goaltender Jaxson Stauber made 34 saves in his 10th NHL appearance.
Logan Cooley recorded an assist for Utah, continuing his road point streak to 11 games, the longest active streak of its kind in the NHL.
The Oilers have now won eight of their last 11 games and will next face the Anaheim Ducks on Friday, while Utah's losing streak extends to five games as they prepare to visit Calgary on Thursday.
