Oilers Secure Victory Over Kraken, Sweep Season Series

Edmonton's win, led by Draisaitl and McDavid, puts pressure on Vegas for Pacific Division standings and deals a blow to Seattle's playoff hopes.

Leon Draisaitl scored his 30th goal of the season, assisted by Connor McDavid's league-leading 73rd assist, as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Seattle Kraken 2-1.
The Oilers' victory marks their third consecutive win, maintaining pressure on Vegas for second place in the Pacific Division, and completes a season sweep of all four games against the Kraken.
Stuart Skinner, the Oilers' goaltender, made 24 saves, nearly achieving his third shutout of the season.
Edmonton has now won six straight games against the Kraken and holds a 9-2-0 record against them since Seattle joined the NHL.
The loss for the Kraken comes as a significant setback in their pursuit of a Western Conference wild-card berth, potentially influencing their strategy ahead of the trade deadline.
