Matthew Savoie scored the winner as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 on Thursday. Adam Henrique and Vasily Podkolzin also contributed to the score. Edmonton is now tied with Anaheim for the top spot in the Pacific Division with 87 points. The team has managed a 29-5-5 record when scoring first, despite being without star forward Leon Draisaitl.
Tristan Jarry recorded 17 saves, earning the win for Edmonton. Rookie Savoie, who has 14 points in his last 18 games, continues to impress on the top line alongside Connor McDavid.
Connor McDavid extended his point streak to six games, though his goal-scoring streak ended at five. The Oilers will host the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday, while the Blackhawks visit the Seattle Kraken.
