PRE-GAME REPORT: Oilers at Flyers (NHL.com)

The Edmonton Oilers continue their four-game road trip at the Wells Fargo Center on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers. You can watch the game on ...

McDavid has 21 points in 11 career games against the Flyers and enters Thursday on a six-game point streak vs. 11, the Oilers rank either first or second in the NHL in: Record (8-0-1), goals per game (5.00), goal differential (plus-24), shooting percentage (13.5 per cent), power play percentage (37.5 per cent), and penalty kill percentage (92.6 per cent)... Connor McDavid is currently on a 13-game point streak (9G, 12A) and has recorded at least a point in 30 of his last 31 games... The Sherwood Park, AB native made 28 saves on the night and continues to be a bright spot for a lagging Philadelphia squad. (We) played better in the second, we had a lot of almost chances, but I thought we were a little sloppy offensively," Tortorella said. Semyon Varlamov started in place of NHL All-Star Ilya Sorokin, and was great on the evening with 25 saves on 26 Flyers shots. The Oilers continued to see their roster depth pay dividends for them in the standings. He's a fearless shot blocker and he makes opponents pay a price to get to the front of our net. The Oilers are coming off a rough and tumble affair to begin their post All-Star break playoff push. One was the Washington Capital game in Washington and that forced us to make some changes, and I thought were really going in the right direction from that point forward, but in early January we got touched up in Los Angeles. 11, the Oilers own the NHL's top-ranked penalty kill (92.6 percent) that features a 5-for-5 evening in Detroit on Tuesday. "When we do and play our game, we think we're a tough team to beat, so it's going to be a good challenge for us tonight.

“I thought it was a goal, but I'm not the one that makes that decision.” In the end, with each of Calgary, Seattle and Colorado losing in regulation, it was a good night for the Oil. [Noah Cates](/hockey/nhl/players/noah-cates/1057779), who found himself alone in the slot with 49 seconds to play in a 1-1 game. Meanwhile the team is on an 8-0-2 run in its last 10, with points in 12 of its last 13 games. On Thursday, Skinner had the tougher night of the two ‘tenders, and only allowed one shot to elude him, a deflection off of [Tyson Barrie](/hockey/nhl/players/tyson-barrie/593095)’s stick. Our goalie gave us a chance to win, and I think any time you hold the team to one goal (in regulation) that's a real positive.

Stuart Skinner salvages a single point as the Edmonton Oilers are ... (Edmonton Journal)

The Edmonton Oilers managed to salvage a single point in a shoot-out loss in Philadelphia Thursday, largely due to a terrific performance by their All-Star…

Strong forecheck in the 2nd took out a defender and popped the puck loose. Whistled for a very weak “trip” in the 1st but his mates killed it off. A soft effort to clear the zone led to a 5-alarm giveaway in the 2nd. A very good 2nd effort cleared the zone during a 3rd Period PK. The best of the Oilers forwards in the 1st, a 1-timer chance off a McDavid pass and then tossed one from behind the net to a waiting 97 for another dangerous opportunity. Looked to have the game winner on his stick in the 3rd but a Bellows blocked shot at the crease denied that. Tremendous chance later in the 2nd but hit the side of an open net from a narrow angle. A wrister stopped in the shoot-out. For the 5th time this season had a goal called back, this time for goalie interference. Set up Hyman for a good opportunity early in the 1st. Then, had to stop Catz again with the blocker on a terrible defensive breakdown in the dying seconds of the 3rd. A smart play to help clear the zone on that 1st Period PK.

“The better we can play defensively, the more chances we’ll have to win. The better he can play, the more dangerous a team we are.” “It was fun,” said Skinner, who stopped 35 of 36 shots on the night. Both guys were money in this one, stopping 99 of 101 shots combined. It helps you adjust and round out your game as a team.” “Every square inch of ice was up for grabs and contested hard, a hard game for both teams,” said Woodcroft.

GAME RECAP: Flyers 2, Oilers 1 (SO) (NHL.com)

The Oilers extended their point streak to 10 games but fell in the shootout to the Flyers on Thursday night.

It was a hard game for both teams, and in the end, we didn't come away with the extra point in the skills contest." I thought it was a tightly contested game where every square inch of the ice was up for grabs and contested hard. "He's the reason we got a point tonight, so good goalies do that. The disallowed goal leaves Hyman at 26 on the season, one away from tying his career high set last year in his first season with the Oilers. I thought both teams got in on the forecheck and that's where the aggression was. The 24-year-old was solid all night, especially as the Flyers pressed hard early on in the contest. Unfortunately for the Oilers, the net was wide open because Foegele's skate dragged Hart out of the crease on the follow through. "For someone to come back from that injury, we anticipate it's going to take him a little while to get up and running," he added. The Flyers found success in their transition game early in the contest, and it was Kevin Hayes who finally capitalized for the home side 7:50 into the game. After going pointless in his first three games back from the traumatic wrist injury he suffered back on Nov. The sniper scored in his third consecutive contest, tying the game 1-1 just 1:56 into the second period. Connor McDavid recorded the assist on the Kane tally, extending his point streak to 14 games.

Les Oilers pourraient-ils sacrifier Puljujarvi? (RDS)

Selon TSN, l'attaquant pourrait être soumis au ballottage pour offrir une marge de manoeuvre à l'équipe sous le plafond salarial.

Yamamoto, qui est sur la touche depuis le 11 janvier, a marqué quatre buts et récolté 12 points en 31 matchs cette saison.

It was one of his best performances of the season and he was the reason the Oilers were even able to steal a point out of that game. Because truth be told, the Oilers have a chance to get four points this weekend. From there, the Oilers all of a sudden seemed interested in the game. Somehow, the Oilers managed to stumble out of the ring like Rocky stealing a point in the shootout. It was enough that a John Tortorella-led challenge to count, and the goal to be called back. It took Edmonton a while to respond, but ultimately, Evander Kane was the one to tie this game up scoring 1:56 into the second period.

Capitals-Bruins, Oilers-Canadiens highlight weekend schedule (NHL.com)

Each Friday, NHL Network and ESPN analyst Kevin Weekes will provide readers with three games he is looking forward to that weekend.

Zach Hyman has 60 points (26 goals, 34 assists) in 51 games and is on pace for close to 96 points and no one is talking about that. The Oilers (29-18-5) lost in a shootout to the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday, 2-1, but are rolling with points in their past 10 games (8-0-2). The defense has been much better, and the Stars rank second in goals against per game (2.53). Boston has the best goaltending tandem in the NHL in Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman. Since then, they've re-signed forwards Dylan Strome (who has been one of the best offseason acquisitions with 11 goals and 25 assists in 52 games) and Sonny Milano. But they have forwards Alex Ovechkin (32 goals), Nicklas Backstrom, and goalie Darcey Kuemper, who won the Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche last season.

“Would I like to do something? “Once Yamamoto comes off LTI and if nobody else goes on, I’ve got some real difficult decisions to make,” Holland admitted. Yes, I would like to do something. Because if that happens, I think he’s a more tradable chip because you’ll be able to go up and down between the AHL in the NHL. And despite some of the struggles he’s had this year, I still think there is some interest in Puljujarvi. When you’re in a LTI situation like we are, it’s much more difficult at the trade deadline.

Oilers Strongly Considering Waiving Jesse Puljujarvi (The Hockey Writers)

Due to the limited cap space they have, the Edmonton Oilers may soon be forced to put Jesse Puljujarvi on waivers.

There were glimpses of the player he could be during the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons, but he was never able to establish himself offensively to gain the trust of the Oilers coaching staff. If that is indeed the case, and management decides to keep Puljujarvi around, there are a few other names who could be heading out the door. Again, the likely answer here is that Puljujarvi is next up, but there have been whispers of other names too. What Rishaug also went on to mention is that he believes if Puljujarvi were to go unclaimed on waivers, it may make him easier for Holland to trade ahead of the deadline. Not only would this lower his cap hit, but it would also allow whichever team acquired him the option to keep him in the American Hockey League (AHL) for a period of time should they wish to do so. [Bison King](https://dailyhive.com/edmonton/oilers-puljujarvi-bison-king-trademark)’, it appears to be a foregone conclusion he won’t be a part of the roster in the very near future.
