Overview

  • Edmonton improved to 19-13-6, winning four of five and going 8-2-1 in its last 11 entering the holiday break.
  • Leon Draisaitl ended an eight-game goal drought with his ninth regular-season hat trick and moved into third on the Oilers’ all-time goals list.
  • The Oilers went 3-for-6 on the man advantage as Calgary’s penalties proved costly, and MacKenzie Weegar was ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct after scoring the Flames’ goal.
  • Connor McDavid’s night tied him with Jari Kurri for second in franchise history with 45 games of four or more points, and his streak reached 31 points in 11 games.
  • Connor Ingram earned his second straight win to start 2-0-0 with Edmonton, while Dustin Wolf made 34 saves for Calgary; the rivals meet again Saturday in Calgary.
