The Edmonton Oilers' winning streak has reached a dynamic dozen.
Warren Foegele had two goals, Leon Draisaitl had a goal and three assists, and the Oilers rebounded from another tough start to defeat the Seattle Kraken 4-2 on Thursday, extending their winning streak to a franchise-record 12 games.
Edmonton trailed 2-0 for the second game in a row, but fought its way out of the hole.
“I am happy we got the win. This group just keeps battling back and we were super calm. Hopefully we can continue this,” Foegele said. “Stu played a huge game again and that is what you need from your goaltender.”
Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner made 25 saves to improve to 16-2 in his last 18 games.
Zach Hyman also scored and Evander Kane had a pair of assists for the Oilers (25-15-1), who have gone 20-3-0 in their last 23 games. Edmonton tied the record for the longest winning streak by a Canadian team, set by the 1967-68 Montreal Canadiens.
It was also the eighth time the Oilers have come from behind to win during the 12-game streak.
