Evan Bouchard scored with 6:55 left and the surging Edmonton Oilers overcame a three-goal deficit to beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-3 on Thursday night.
They weren’t awful in a loss at Pittsburgh in their previous game on Thursday, but they had one of their worst stretches in ages during the first period — a six-to-eight-minute span that coach Kris Knoblauch called “garbage” on Friday. Plus, they were playing a terrible Chicago team, which had played the night before in Detroit.
The Oilers' 5-3 loss to the Penguins ended a seven-game winning streak against the Penguins dating back to Dec. 20, 2019.
