Once mired in a 41-game goal drought, Podkolzin has taken advantage of the looks he's been given in the top six. He is stepping up admirably in Zach Hyman's.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins notched a goal and an assist, signaling he might be finding his stride. If he can become a producer for Edmonton, it adds another layer of scoring. Nugent-Hopkins scored the overtime winner on Friday and scored the empty-netter on Saturday. His steady play has been pivotal during the Oilers' resurgence.
Skinner Stepping Up in Goal
Stuart Skinner delivered a rock-solid performance, stopping 27 of 28 shots. «I think we're starting to really gel as a group,» Skinner said post-game, a sentiment reflected in his sharp focus and composure. Skinner became the seventh goaltender in franchise history with 80 career wins.
Following the Oilers massive 4-1 victory against the Colorado Avalanche, head coach Kris Knoblauch made himself available for his usual post game interviews, highlighting aspects of the game he feels the team is doing well.
