Leon Draisaitl and Evan Bouchard each had a goal and an assist and the Edmonton Oilers raced past the slumping Winnipeg Jets, 6-2 on Saturday night.

A viral clip of Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner has sparked trade rumors amid Edmonton’s reported interest in Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry.

Rookie forward Connor Clattenburg is sidelined after a scary high stick. His energy and impact will be missed as he recovers.

After all, the Jets were 53-53 in goals for and against at even strength. Consequently, the Oilers were minus 16 in 5-on-5 situations, allowing 70 goals in 28 games. The Oilers’ power play scored four times in the 9-4 win over the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night. The Jets’ power play entered the game on a 0-10 slide over the last five games.

Friedman shared new details on the Oilers' reported interest in Pittsburgh Penguins starter Tristan Jarry. The Oilers were first linked to Jarry by ESPN’s Kevin Weekes, who reported on Nov. 26 that the goaltender was “drawing significant interest” around the NHL, with Edmonton potentially leading the race.

The Edmonton Oilers have found a way to get back on track as they aim to make another deep playoff run this season, and despite some injury issues early in the season, their depth has stepped up in a big way.

Several worthy candidates were considered for the final spots on this year’s top 20. Asher Barnett, Albin Sundin, Dalyn Wakely and Nathaniel Day are all solid prospects. The Oilers have improved markedly season over season in terms of quality and quantity of prospects, making it more difficult than it’s been in ages to choose 20 names.

Plus, Ike Howard is percolating in Bakersfield with four goals and nine points in eight games, and fellow rookie pro winger Quinn Hutson (13 goals, 24 points), is fourth in AHL scoring. Howard will be back, at some time, and the college free-agent Hutson is clearly knocking on the door.
