Draisaitl takes over scoring lead as Oilers down Predators MORE:
EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers' hot start has them hitting impressive team and individual marks.
Edmonton starter Mikko Koskinen stopped 31 of 33 shots for the win. The Oilers have won eight of their first nine games of a season only once before in 1985-86. “This start is great for me, for us as a group," Draisaitl said."But we’re just looking to help the team win, do the little things right, continue to get better. And win.”
"But the main thing always is getting those two points. You bank them and they come in huge at the end of the season.” “They’re just such a dangerous team and they’re so dynamic off the rush and they capitalized on a couple of mistakes we made.”
