Edmonton Oilers defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-0 [Video]

Stuart Skinner made 27 saves for his fifth career shutout and Evan Bouchard and Mattias Ekholm each had a goal and an assist as the Edmonton Oilers snapped a two-game losing skid with a 4-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday.

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.

Viktor Arvidsson tallied three assists, his first points as an Oiler, while Vasily Podkolzin also had a helper 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 was solid in net for the Penguins, making 46 saves.
