Oilers bounce back, beat Kraken for 12th straight win

Warren Foegele scored twice and Leon Draisaitl had a goal and three assists as the Edmonton Oilers rallied from a two-goal deficit to defeat the visiting Seattle Kraken 4-2 on Thursday and extend their franchise-record winning streak to 12 games.

Zach Hyman had a goal and an assist and Evander Kane added two helpers for the Oilers. Goaltender Stuart Skinner made 25 saves.

Edmonton's Connor McDavid extended his point streak to 12 games (five goals, 13 assists) by setting up Hyman's power-play goal at 17:22 of the third period. Seattle's Yanni Gourde was serving a five-minute major for charging.

Eeli Tolvanen and Jared McCann scored for Seattle, which lost its third in a row following a franchise-best, nine-game win streak. Joey Daccord stopped 32 of 36 shots.

Trailing 2-0 entering the second period, it took the Oilers a little more than 7 1/2 minutes to grab the lead.

Foegele scored 37 seconds into the period, squeezing a rebound between Daccord's pads as the goalie tried to move post to post.

Draisaitl tied it on a power play at 4:38, banking a rebound off Daccord from just below the goal line after the goalie made an initial save on Hyman's shot from the low slot.

Foegele gave the Oilers a 3-2 lead at 7:38, beating Daccord high to the blocker side on a short breakaway.

It appeared the Kraken tied the score with 1:52 left in the middle period as Alex Wennberg put the puck in the net on a two-on-one rush set up by Daccord's stretch pass. Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch challenged the play, and a video review determined Kailer Yamamoto was offside as he tried to enter the door to the Kraken bench.

Seattle opened the scoring at 9:49 of the first period as Oliver Bjorkstrand's stretch pass found Tolvanen alone at the blue line for a breakaway. Tolvanen beat Skinner high to the glove side.

Seattle made it 2-0 at 13:32 of the opening period on a two-on-one rush. Jordan Eberle centered the puck to McCann, who put a forehand shot high to the stick side for his team-leading 18th goal of the season.

Forward Sam Gagner returned to the Oilers' lineup after missing 10 games with an undisclosed injury.

Seattle forward Andre Burakovsky was back after missing two games with a lower-body injury, but defenseman Vince Dunn sat for a third straight game with an undisclosed ailment.
