Oilers Edge Blues 4-3 as McDavid Shines in Return
Connor McDavid's three-assist performance and key contributions from teammates bring Edmonton closer to securing a playoff berth despite lingering injuries.
- The Edmonton Oilers defeated the St. Louis Blues 4-3, snapping a two-game losing streak and moving closer to a playoff spot.
- Connor McDavid returned from injury, recording three assists in a pivotal performance for the injury-depleted Oilers.
- Connor Brown scored twice, including the game-winning goal with 21 seconds remaining, while Vasily Podkolzin and Viktor Arvidsson also contributed goals.
- The Oilers were missing eight regular players, including Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Mattias Ekholm, and Stuart Skinner, due to injuries.
