The Edmonton Oilers have gained some momentum, winning their second game in a row against the Nashville Predators 4-2 in the ‘Music City’.
Brett Kulak scored twice and Connor McDavid added his first goal of the season. Jeff Skinner also scored and Calvin Pickard made 25 saves for the defending Western Conference champion Oilers, who have won consecutive games after beginning the season with a three-game skid.
This was the first multi-goal game of Brett Kulak’s long career, seen more of a shutdown defenseman, the offensive surge was fun for him to experience, but mentioned the teams success will always come first.
Head coach of the Oilers Kris Knoblauch spoke to media following the victory and had high praise for newcomer Jeff Skinner who seems to be finding his way in Edmonton.
Nashville has yet to find the win column, Filip Forsberg and Jonathan Marchessault scored and Juuse Saros made 32 saves for Nashville (0-4).
Up next for the Oilers will be a Saturday afternoon matchup against the Dallas Stars on the road before hosting the Carolina Hurricanes and Pittsburgh Penguins next week at home.
