The one exception was in the playoffs, but that pairing was borne out of necessity. This is the first prolonged regular season stretch that McDavid and Draisaitl have been linemates at five-on-five during the Woodcroft era. Woodcroft and company should easily be able to keep the nuclear line intact as the Oilers try to push past the 20-win mark heading by Christmas Eve. The Oilers have had a softer schedule over the last 10 games, so it was the perfect opportunity for Woodcroft to pair up the Nos. Janmark, who started the season in the minors as a cap casualty, is a career bottom-sixer. McDavid is on pace for 161 points, easily his best NHL season — better even than his remarkable 105-point showing in the 56-game campaign in 2021. The Oilers have outscored opponents 12-9 in 166 minutes with them on the ice. Draisaitl continued his barrage against the Preds with two goals and three assists. Putting the two superstars together has turned their campaign around after they went 3-7 in Games 11-20, which made them a .500 team through the first 20 contests.

Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blues saw the NHL's Situation Room disallow Draisaitl's overtime goal, resulting in a riled up Oilers team and captain.

Then, with the Blues’ net empty and Edmonton on a late powerplay, Nurse tried to float a pass to Draisaitl that was batted out of the air by Vladimir Tarasenko. McDavid cruised along as the puck went into his feet, his eyes on the puck but not his stick, and he believed he was in control of the puck the whole time. “It was a crazy game,” said the Blues' three-point man Jordan Kyrou. “We should never even have been in that situation.” But was McDavid in control as it crossed the line, despite the fact the puck was not physically on his stick blade? In the end, a night that ended in weird theatre began the same way, with the Blues being called for icing the wrong lineup for the opening faceoff. “Players just want some clarity on some of these rules,” he said. That’s unacceptable on my part,” Nurse said. Every team in the NHL can point to one where they got burned. If I had possession or not, I guess that's the judgment call,” said McDavid, who was seen disciplining his hockey stick against an arena wall as he left the ice post-game. “We kind of get burned on a call in the playoffs over a similar type of situation.

It was the start of a five-game trip that takes the Blues to Christmas, and they want to make as much a push as they can before heading into the holiday break. The point to all this is there will probably come another time or times when the Blues lose games when should win or lose points late when it appears they have victory secured. The special teams were going to be the topic of discussion, and when Pavel Buchnevich was called for tripping with 1:02 to play, was there even any point in the Blues pulling the goalie? It was the consummate team win, one that can fuel a team moving forward. The Blues (14-15-1), who are 3-1-1 their past five games after losing four straight and five of six, were seconds away from kicking themselves for losing a tight game in which they, for all intents and purposes, gave away two Oilers power-play goals on calls that shouldn't happen. Sure the Blues played a really good game and were about to get nothing out of it when they trailed 3-2 late.

Scored a great goal on the rush to give the Oilers the lead in the second. Solid game, especially in the third period when his line came on strong to score a goal and largely carry the play. Among those beaten on the 3-2 when he got sucked over to the boards rather than protecting the slot, then was beaten on the pass. Took a pair of penalties in rapid succession, the second for a hit to the head when he wasn’t even looking at his opponent, who by definition was low to the ice on the play. Among those tagged on 3 chances the other way, including being beaten by a key pass on the 3-2. Had a tough time in the second period in particular, when he was among the defensive culprits on 4 Grade A shots in that frame. Avoids the dreaded grade of “1” by virtue of some strong work on the penalty kill, and some decent defensive plays down the stretch including a vital tipped shot into the netting. Opened the scoring just 63 seconds in on a gift powerplay due to the Blues starting the wrong line-up, and the Oilers seemed off to the races. Tagged with a -1 on the first Blues goal but had no chance to join the play on a delayed line change. One of two bottom sixers to play double digit minutes (10:55), in part due to his 1:59 on the penalty kill where he got the job done. Among the culprits on the killer 3-3 goal when he was unable to suppress Kyrou’s pass to Tarasenko. But the bigger disaster came in the dying seconds with the Oilers on the powerplay and in full control of the puck, only to cough it up deep in their own territory and then lose battles and coverage.

McDavid was uncharacteristically perturbed following the game after Leon Draisaitl's extra-time goal was wiped off the board.

That led directly to a [Jordan Kyrou](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/jordan-kyrou-i8srgDMmPrlwpzuN/) goal.

But the Oilers felt the game never should have made it that far to begin with. Woodcroft refused to blame Nurse for his part in the loss, repeating, “We win and lose as a team” multiple times. “It hits the guy’s shaft. As bad as that mistake was, the second one came at a much more critical time. If he feels like he’s got control of the puck, you can pretty much guarantee he’s got control of the puck,” the defenceman said. The Oilers challenged the call on the ice, but it was upheld. Makar made contact with the puck in the offensive zone after Nichushkin was in an on-side position.”
