THIRD PERIOD

0.0: SWEET SIXTEEN! The Oilers are now one win away from tying the record for the longest win streak in NHL history after winning their 16th in a row with a 4-1 result over the Nashville Predators. Stuart Skinner earns the First Star with 29 saves, while Leon Draisaitl picks up three points to reach 800 points alongside his captain's three-point effort.

Edmonton enters the All-Star break with a 29-15-1 record and third place in the Pacific Division. We'll be back in action on Feb. 6 when they look to equal the 1992-93 Pittsburgh Penguins with their 17th win in a row against the Vegas Golden Knights in Nevada. What a game that'll be.

Enjoy the break, Oilers fans!

3:19: HYMAN INTO THE EMPTY NET! THAT'S 30 GOALS ON THE SEASON FOR ZMH AND 16 STRAIGHT WINS FOR THE OILERS! 4-1 Edmonton.

6:35: Nashville scrapes one over the line. Colton Sissons gets the last touch as it bounces around in front of Edmonton's net and over the right pad of Skinner to break the shutout with over six minutes left. 3-1 Edmonton.

10:48: IN OFF THE BACK BY THE CAPTAIN! McDavid scores another from below the goal line by putting it off Lankinen's back and into the net for a 3-0 lead on his 20th goal of the year, and third point of the afternoon. He needs JUST 84 points in his next 37 games to hit 1,000 points before the end of the regular season. Can he do it? For now, Edmonton takes a 3-0 lead and is on track to take their 16th win in a row into the All-Star break.

20:00: The third period is underway!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: Thanks to Draisaitl's milestone goal and nine more steady stops from Skinner, Edmonton leads 2-0 through 40 minutes.

3:07: SKINNER! Another terrific save to send it out of play – this time with a shoulder stop on Ryan McDonagh, who walked down from the blueline to earn an open look.

6:34: Vincent Desharnais makes a vital block on the power play by sliding across the front of Edmonton's net and taking away a dangerous pass to the back door. It would've been a glorious scoring chance for Tommy Novak.

8:21: LEON WITH ANOTHER PPG! Edmonton increases their lead to 2-0 as McDavid gives it to Draisaitl in the left circle for the German to one-time home his 23rd of the season and 800th career point into the empty net – a play that was made possible by the exceptional passing of the first-unit power play. Draisaitl, McDavid and Nugent-Hopkins each have two points so far on Edmonton's two goals that both came with the man advantage.

14:59: After a pair of good chances for both teams in the opening five minutes of the second frame, Nashville goes to the power play with Leon Draisaitl in the box for interference.

20:00: The second period is underway!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: Nugent-Hopkins nabs the only goal of the opening period.

3:18: Back to the power play! Filip Forsberg gets the stick up into Darnell Nurse's face for a high-sticking call. Edmonton 1-for-1 so far with the man advantage.

7:34: MONSTROUS SKINNER STOP! He denies Luke Evangelista with the quick blocker to send it out of play after the Nashville forward had all the net to shoot at, but Edmonton's netminder came up huge.

9:06: Zach Hyman takes a little bit too much momentum into a net drive and is given a goaltender interference penalty.

12:05: SNAP-SHOT NUUUUUGE! The Oilers take the patient approach on their first power play and it finally opens up for Nugent-Hopkins, who got the pass from Leon Draisaitl in the left circle before wrapping a snapshot from the slot around Nashville's net and behind Kevin Lankinen. 1-0 Edmonton.

13:22: The referees miss an egregious holding penalty on Connor McDavid, but make up for it with a holding-the-stick penalty to Jeremy Lauzon on Leon Draisaitl in the neutral zone. 

20:00: GAME ON! Corey Perry gets a big cheer when his face is shown during the anthems. He'll make his Oilers debut alongside Dylan Holloway and Ryan McLeod on the third line. Edmonton goes for their 16th straight victory.

20:00: The first period will begin at 2:08 p.m. MT at Rogers Place.
