Oilers Win 16th Straight Game to Pull Within 1 of Record, But the NHL All-Star Break Awaits

The Edmonton Oilers’ winning streak continued over the weekend with a 4-1 victory against the Nashville Predators, and they’re now on the brink of history. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl both scored, and the duo combined for five assists in the win. The Oilers have now won 16 consecutive games dating back to Dec. 21. They need one more to tie the 1992-93 Penguins for the NHL record (17 games).

Watch: Oilers Beat Predators (4-1) to Win 16th Straight Game

The only problem now? The waiting game. As hot as they’ve been, the Oilers won’t play again until next Tuesday (Feb. 6) due to this week’s NHL All-Star break. When they come back, they’ll go on the road to Las Vegas to face the defending champions, the Golden Knights. Mark your calendar for that one.
