Edmonton Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner cannot be relied on for 70+ starts this year. The last goalie to do that for the Oilers - or any other team - was 2016-17 Cam Talbot. As I write this, the Edmonton Oilers are in the middle of the third period against the Calgary Flames. The last time these two teams played each other was for the Heritage Classic at the end of October - and the Oilers have a bit of a different look to them.

The Oilers are one period away from setting an NHL record for longest win streak by a Canadian team.

Ryan McLeod continues to prove his long term worth to this team. His speed makes him an efficient penalty killer, but it also makes him incredibly dangerous offensively. McLeod has carved a niche for himself as a penalty killer and defensive-minded bottom-six forward. After struggling offensively over the opening stretch of the season it's a welcome sign to see him consistently produce. Over the past 12 games he has collected 12 points - he has 19 points on the season. Ryan McLeod.
