The Columbus Blue Jackets (CBJ) faced the Edmonton Oilers in a game where Adam Boqvist returned to the lineup. Elvis Merzlikins was in net for CBJ, while Stuart Skinner was in goal for the Oilers. The game saw Edmonton take the lead with a power-play goal by Warren Foegele, but CBJ responded with a goal by Dmitri Voronkov. The second period saw Connor McDavid score for the Oilers, putting them ahead 2-1. Despite CBJ's dominance in various metrics, Edmonton extended their lead in the third period, ultimately winning 4-1. Stuart Skinner's stellar performance contributed to the Oilers' 14th consecutive win. CBJ will continue their road trip in Calgary.
The Oilers have outscored their opposition 29-6 in the 3rd period & OT during their 14-game winning streak. They’ll try to tie the club record of 15 games without a loss (12-0-3 to open the ‘84-‘85 season) tomorrow vs Chicago on @Sportsnet at 7 MT. We’ll all be there. https://t.co/iuWxzOtUeH
#CBJ practice under way in Calgary. Forward lines are the same as last night in Edmonton. Defensive pairs have changes … Werenski-Boqvist operating as the top pair, Provorov-Severson the second pair. This suggests Werenski is set to returh Thurs vs the Flames.
#CBJ ICYMI … another third period was cruel to the Jackets on CBJ After Dark in Edmonton. https://t.co/BZi3G61yLy
From @CraigJButton on @JayOnSC - How the Oilers found a way to beat the Blue Jackets despite not playing their best, and how great Stuart Skinner has been during Edmonton's franchise record 14-game winning streak: https://t.co/PuJXZiftlg https://t.co/cWdgREPrRp
The Athletic: Blue Jackets miss opportunities early, let streaking #LetsGoOilers pull away in third for 4-1 win. #CBJ best chances came in first 40 minutes, but Edmonton’s finish gives Oilers 14 straight wins https://t.co/LiUjwH1zge
Make it 14 straight wins! Stuart Skinner stellar...again...makes 27 saves... Skinner sets new team record with his 11th straight win...now 18-2-0 since Nov. 24th. EDM now has given up 2 or fewer goals in 12 straight games. Kane and Foegele 1-1-2 each. PK 4/4
#CBJ fall 4-1 in Edmonton. The club continues its 5-game road trip on Thursday at Calgary.
Tip of the cap to Edmonton. They've won now 14 in a row for a reason. The good, veteran teams know how to win games. But the Jackets have generated nothing in this period. At some point, the #CBJ has to figure this out a bit. It's been the same movie all season in the third.

Connor Brown doesn't score, but the rebound from his shot gives Dylan Holloway a tap-in goal. 4-1 Oilers.
Edmonton was fumbling the puck everywhere for the first 40 minutes to the tune of 23 giveaways. #CBJ been the team doing that in the third, and they've paid for it. But the Jackets are heading to the power play with a chance to cut into the deficit.
McDavid scores after Hyman got shoved into Merzlikins by Gudbranson. The Blue Jackets opt not to challenge. 3-1 Oilers.
The goal will stand, and #CBJ won't challenge. It's a 3-1 game as Connor McDavid gets that one.
Edmonton scores again to make it 3-1 with Elvis on the ice and in his net. He's immediately protesting. Zach Hyman was pushed into him as McDavid shot it, it appears. Officials conferring...
#LetsGoOilers gets to the second rebound off Merzlikins and buries it for a 2-1 EDM lead at 4:52 of the third period.
Evander Kane scores after a couple missed chances in tight by teammates. This one counts. The Oilers take a 2-1 lead.
Kane swats home a loose rebound near the net for the Oilers' second goal, putting Edmonton up 2-1 on #CBJ early 3rd.
Edmonton takes a 2-1 lead 4:53 into the third. A Nugent-Hopkins redirection goes off the post, but it ends up on Evander Kane's stick and he puts the rebound past Merzlikins. #CBJ down for the second time this game.
Per @NatStatTrick, #CBJ up big at 5x5 in shot attempts (43-25), shots on goal (22-9), high-danger chances (10-5) and expected goals (2.58-0.96). Taking it to the Oilers everywhere but the scoreboard (1-1).
#CBJ absolutely dominating this game outside of the 1-1 score. Way more attempts, unblocked attempts, 24-14 edge in shots, big edges in scoring chances and high-danger chances after 40 mins. #LetsGoOilers will have smoke coming out of their nostrils starting the third.
The Oilers can thank Stuart Skinner for being tied through two periods. Shots favour the Blue Jackets 24-14.
#LetsGoOilers McDavid scores from the right circle, a wrister. It's 2-1 EDM at 8:15 of the second.
Connor McDavid has scored on a 4-on-3 power play for the Oilers, but #CBJ challenging for offside.
#CBJ had 10-6 edge in scoring chances in the first at 5x5 per @NatStatTrick 91-10-86 line had 13-4 edge in shot attempts and got the CBJ goal. They were quite good.
#CBJ dominated the advanced metrics against #LetsGoOilers in that 1st. It's 1-1, but the Jackets could've had one or two more goals if Skinner hadn't stood on his head to make some crazy stops. The second period has been an issue for Columbus most of the season though ...
End of one in Edmonton and that was a good period of hockey there for the visitors from Central Ohio. It's 1-1 on goals by Foegele (EDM) and Voronkov (CBJ). #CBJ outshooting #LetsGoOilers 13-9 after the first 20.
#LetsGoOIlers cash in on the power play. Foegele, bowing through the slot, takes a feed from Kane and beats Merzlikins. 1-0 EDM at 7:30 of the first.
Warren Foegele puts Edmonton up 1-0 with a power-play goal 7:30 in. Oilers come in with speed -- it's Evander Kane -- and Foegele kind of biffs the centering pass, but it crossed up Elvis and went in.
Puck has dropped between #CBJ and the Oilers in Edmonton as the Blue Jackets kick off a 5-game road trip.
OK, anthems have been sung here in Edmonton and now it's time for some ice hockey. #LetsGoOilers and their 13-game win streak hosting the #CBJ ... here we go. #CBJAfterDark
Skinner to the left, Merzlikins to the right, and #CBJ country is under way in Edmonton
#CBJ starters in Edmonton: Gaudreau-Sillinger-Chinakhov Severson-Boqvist Merzlikins Scratches: F Bemstrom, F Olivier, D Jiricek Stuart Skinner in the #LetsGoOilers net. He's won his last 10.
No changes to the #CBJ lineup today in Edmonton. Adam Boqvist missed practice yesterday but will be good to go. Elvis Merzlikins in net.
