The Edmonton Oilers will play the next three games without superstar captain Connor McDavid after the NHL suspended him for cross-checking Vancouver Canucks winger Conor Garland on Saturday.

Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid continues to climb up the ranks ... a turnover and started a passing play that led to Zach Hyman scoring and cut the Wild lead to 2-1.

While Connor McDavid served the final game of his suspension, the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 at Rogers Place on Saturday (Jan. 25).

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Zach Hyman had two goals and an assist, Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Vancouver Canucks 6-2 on Thursday night. Adam Henrique, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Kasperi Kapanen also scored for the Oilers, who have won nine of their last 12 games. Calvin Pickard made 24 stops in net.

Henrique gave Edmonton a three-goal lead at 14:41 of the first. Henrique got a pass behind the net, moved out front and in one motion went down to one knee and jammed it in on the short side. Hyman deflected a pass into the net just 1:59 into the second period for his second goal of the game to make it 4-0.

Connor McDavid will be eligible to return from his three-game suspension when the Edmonton Oilers play host to the Seattle Kraken on Monday night.

So close, yet so far. This was the story of the Edmonton Oilers in 2023-24 season as they lost in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final against the Florida Panthers and fell short.

Zach Hyman had two goals and an assist and Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-2 on Thursday.

Connor McDavid is back and the blender is out. Ahead of Monday’s game against the Seattle Kraken, Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch made a few changes to his team’s forward lines.

For the only time this season, the Vancouver Canucks travelled to Edmonton for a one-and-done trip against the Oilers at Rogers Place. These two teams met just five days ago in Vancouver in which the Canucks came away with a 3-2 victory,
