NHL roundup: Oilers top Jackets to win their 14th game in a row

Evander Kane and Warren Foegele both found the back of the net and contributed with an assist each, propelling the Edmonton Oilers to their remarkable 14th consecutive victory. The Oilers showcased their dominance with a convincing 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, setting a new franchise record for consecutive wins.

The game was deadlocked at 1-1 until Kane and Connor McDavid each found the back of the net within a span of 55 seconds early in the third period. Edmonton's victory was solidified when Dylan Holloway scored with 4:24 remaining in regulation.

Stuart Skinner's exceptional performance in goal led him to make 27 saves, securing his 11th consecutive win. This surpasses Grant Fuhr's previous record for the longest winning streak by a goalie in franchise history. Skinner has been outstanding in his last 20 starts, boasting an impressive 18-2-0 record.

Additionally, the Oilers have been on a remarkable run, going 22-3-0 since their slow start of 5-12-1. Their defensive prowess is evident as they have allowed two goals or less in their last 12 games.

On the other side, Dmitri Voronkov scored the lone goal for the Blue Jackets, while Elvis Merzlikins made 20 saves. Columbus has struggled recently, going 3-6-4 in their last 13 games and only managing one win in their past six outings (1-4-1).
