The Edmonton Oilers continued their impressive run with a 3-0 shutout against the Chicago Blackhawks, marking their 15th consecutive win and inching closer to the NHL record of 17 straight wins set by the 1992-93 Penguins. Connor McDavid was instrumental in the victory, contributing two goals and one assist, while Leon Draisaitl tallied three assists. Calvin Pickard, standing in goal, made 27 saves to secure his fifth career shutout and his first in over four years. The Oilers' recent form has been outstanding, with a record of 23-3-0 in their last 26 games. The Blackhawks, meanwhile, have tied their franchise record with 19 consecutive road losses, a streak dating back to November 9. They face the challenge of breaking this streak against the Oilers, who are on the cusp of tying their own club record for consecutive games without a loss.
Another road game, another road loss for the Blackhawks, who haven't won outside of Chicago since Nov. 9. "That’s a long time ago." Postgame story from Edmonton: https://t.co/AHPrJBL6IK

Down to 8:02 left, Hawks trail the Oilers 2-0. Scoring is so hard.

GOAL, Oilers. Hawks trail 2-0 with 13:26 left. McDavid with an unreal burst of speed to set up Hyman.
END OF PERIOD 1: Blackhawks with another stout period against the Oilers. It's 0-0 and the Blackhawks are up 8-7 in shots (two in the final second). Edmonton will start the second with 1:49 of power-play time with Foligno in the box for a tripping call he did not agree with.
The Blackhawks held the Oilers to just 15 shots in a 2-1 loss in Chicago two weeks ago. Through 8:17 of this game, the Oilers have just one shot.
It's the quite movable object against the irresistible force as the Blackhawks (18 straight road losses) visit the Oilers (14 straight wins). https://t.co/j3IHjfT22e
Here are five takeaways from the Chicago Blackhawks’ 6-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken. https://t.co/5UpIfmQanG
In January 2004, the Blackhawks traveled to Alberta having lost 18 consecutive road games. They lost to Edmonton 5-2 in the first game — their 19th straight road loss. They beat Calgary 5-3 the next day to end the streak. They're in the exact same situation now, needing to beat…
Calvin Pickard starts tonight. “You never know when your next start is going to be. You have to go into every day trying to stop pucks in practice. “Me & (Dustin Schwartz) pick a couple of categories to work on & we’ve touched up on a lot of different technical things.” #Oilers https://t.co/OnFCnMpwE6
Calvin Pickard is in the starter’s crease this morning. Pickard has a personal three-game win streak. Last five starts: 4-1-0 .906 SV% 2.60 GAA #Oilers

Chicago Blackhawks (14-32-2, eighth in the Central Division) vs. Edmonton Oilers (27-15-1, third in the Pacific Division) https://t.co/klff6drD3W
Joey Daccord just made 17th start in last 19 #SEAKraken games — an 89% clip increasingly rare in today’s NHL. With Philipp Grubauer now healthy, the question is how much they’ll keep relying on Daccord — whose 34 saves keyed Wednesday night’s win. https://t.co/BHHMiwK70j #NHL
- Jared McCann scored his 19th goal of the season early in the first period, Joey Daccord made 34 saves and the Seattle Kraken handed Chicago its 18th straight road loss with a 6-2 win over the Blackhawks on Wednesday night. https://t.co/2bdpPf1I3U
Ryan Donato's breakaway was stopped, Tomas Tatar's breakaway scored and, with that, the Blackhawks were doomed to their 18th consecutive road loss. Postgame story from Seattle: https://t.co/KtSVm2llvO
#SeaKraken back in the win column - 6-2 victory over Chicago. Two goals for Tatar and 12 different players with at least a point.
10 observations: Power play shows signs of life but #Blackhawks fall to Kraken https://t.co/4eI3ZlGPhZ
FINAL: Kraken win 6-2. Seattle won the last two meetings here by a combined score of 13-3. Climate Pledge Arena is Arvid Söderblom's house of horrors. The Blackhawks have lost 18 straight road games. Tomorrow, they visit Edmonton, which has won 14 straight games.
GOAL, Kraken. Hawks trail 6-2. Tatar again on a juicy rebound kicked out by Soderblom, who must never want to enter the state of Washington again.
5-2 #SeaKraken Eight seconds after Daccord stops a 2-on-1 rush chance for Chicago, Schultz and Eberle set Tatar off on a break of his own and he finishes. https://t.co/E2KaW9mQdl
Ryan Donato is stopped on a breakaway, and then Tomas Tatar converts on his seconds later. #Blackhawks https://t.co/WbZWxI7G09
Joey Daccord saves #SEAKraken again, stopping former teammate Ryan Donato on a breakaway. Tomas Tatar immediately breaks in alone in the other direction and scores to make it 5-2. #NHL https://t.co/z0JgawwRtS
GOAL, Kraken. 5-2. Donato stopped on a breakaway. Tatar scores on a breakaway the other way. That's backbreaking.
GOAL: Ryan Donato gets denied on a breakaway at one end, and Tomas Tatar scores on a breakaway at the other. 5-2 Kraken.
Blackhawks have one shot halfway through this second period. I’d say #SEAKraken have tightened up. #NHL https://t.co/yuWU1rzT1D
#SeaKraken lead 2-1 after one Chicago's been creating more, Daccord has been the better netminder. Shot map through 20: https://t.co/gX29FbR1c1
Make it 2-0 #SEAKraken at 7:12 mark of 1st as Jaden Schwartz goes to net and has Burakovsky pass bank in off his leg for 10th goal of season. Vince Dunn also draws assist. Blackhawks look dead in the (Deep) water. #NHL https://t.co/OINtoopnxn
GOAL, Kraken. Hawks trail 2-0. Schwartz gets inside positioning on Vlasic for a tap-in.
Joey Daccord starts, 1-0 in career vs. Chicago. Grubauer will back up. Vince Dunn is back. Evans, Gourde, Hayden are scratches. #SeaKraken
#FlaPanthers to the penalty kill 5:47 into the first period. Aaron Ekblad gets called for interference.
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
