Pittsburgh Penguins at Edmonton Oilers

Skinner earns shutout, Arvidsson records three assists as Oilers put 4 past the Penguins

Evan Bouchard and Mattias Ekholm each had a goal and an assist. Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored for the Oilers (3-4-1), who had struggled offensively to start the season, scoring just 14 goals in their first seven games.

Arvidsson's assists were his first points as an Oiler, while Vasily Podkolzin also had one for his first point since arriving in Edmonton.

The game was highly touted as a superstar showdown between Edmonton’s Connor McDavid and Pens' veteran Sidney Crosby, but both were kept off the scoresheet.

The Penguins (3-5-1) have dropped four straight.

Despite the loss, Joel Blomqvist had 46 saves for Pittsburgh.

Takeaways Penguins: Evgeni Malkin led the Penguins with 11 points through their first eight games, including four multi-point outings, but couldn’t spark any offense on Friday night.

Oilers: Forward Zach Hyman was finally successful in his pursuit of the 400th point of his career and his first for this season. He assisted Nugent-Hopkins early in the third period.

Key moment The game was scoreless until Draisaitl stole the puck and scored a wrist shot off the post with seven minutes left in the second period, extending his point streak to five games. Edmonton was outshooting Pittsburgh 34-13 at the time.

Key Stat This marked the 14th career meeting between stars Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby. Edmonton is now 8-3-3, including seven straight wins.
