Oilers Dominate Avalanche 4-1 in Denver

Edmonton extends their winning streak to three games, while Colorado faces mounting injuries and roster challenges.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins led the Oilers with a goal and an assist, while Stuart Skinner made 27 saves in the victory.
The Avalanche struggled with injuries, losing key players like Josh Manson and Miles Wood, and made a trade for goalie Scott Wedgewood earlier in the day.
Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl continued their strong performances, with McDavid tallying his 19th assist of the season during the game.
Colorado’s Nikolai Kovalenko scored early on a power play, but Edmonton controlled the game after the first period with goals from Kasperi Kapanen, Vasily Podkolzin, and Brett Kulak.
The Oilers have now won four of their last five games and improved their record in Denver, breaking a six-game regular-season losing streak in Colorado.
