OILERS, KRAKEN RALLY TO KEEP WINNING STREAKS ALIVE
The Oilers (23-15-1, 47 points) overcame a one-goal, third-period deficit and the Kraken (19-14-9, 47 points) erased three separate one-goal disadvantages to extend their respective win streaks to 10 and nine games – with each club establishing franchise records in the process.

* Leon Draisaitl (1-1—2) tied the game by reaching the 20-goal mark for the eighth consecutive season and captain Connor McDavid (0-1—1) celebrated his 27th birthday by collecting a primary assist on the overtime goal to register his 14th career point streak of at least 10 contests.

* McDavid(5-11—16 in 10 GP) has found the score sheet in every contest of Edmonton’s 10-game win streak. He is the 19th player in NHL history, and sixth active skater, to collect a point in every contest of a win streak of 10 or more games. The other active players: Elias Lindholm (10 GP in 2021-22 w/ CGY), Brayden Point (11 GP in 2019-20 w/ TBL), Vladimir Tarasenko (10 GP in 2018-19 w/ STL), Jordan Staal (10 GP in 2011-12 w/ PIT) and Sidney Crosby (12 GP in 2010-11 w/ PIT).

* Edmonton has posted six comeback wins, including four third-period comeback wins during its franchise-record stretch – a streak that also witnessed the club tie a franchise mark for consecutive road victories. The Oilers are the third team in as many years with at least six comeback victories in a double-digit win streak (NJD: 6 in 13 GP, 2022-23 & FLA: 9 in 13 GP, 2021-22) and seventh in NHL history with at least four third-period comeback victories in that scenario.

* Jared McCann (2-1—3) accounted for one of Seattle’s three tying tallies as the Kraken extended their franchise-record point streak to 13 games and established a club record for longest winning streak, besting the previous mark from Jan. 1-14, 2023 (8-0-0). Seattle (5-0-0 since Jan. 1) also became the first team in NHL history to earn wins in each of its first five games from the start of a calendar year in two straight years.

* Joey Daccord (30 saves) extended his franchise-record point streak to 12 games, which includes eight straight victories. He established a club record for longest winning streak, eclipsing the previous mark set by Martin Jones from Jan. 1-14, 2023 (7-0-0 in 7 GP).

ALL-STARS SHINE DURING 16-GAME SLATE

Multiple players who were among the first 32 named to 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend or voted in through the 2024 NHL All-Star Fan Vote presented by MassMutual made an impact during Saturday’s 16-game schedule:

* Nathan MacKinnon (1-1—2) scored the 60th game-winning goal of his NHL career to pass Milan Hejduk (59) for sole possession of second place on the franchise’s all-time list and help the Avalanche earn their second three-goal comeback victory this season (also 6-3 W vs. DAL on Nov. 18). Colorado earned multiple wins in regulation after overcoming a three-goal deficit within a single season for the fourth time in franchise history – the Quebec Nordiques did so in 1982-83 (3x), 1981-82 (2x) and 1980-81 (2x).

* Thatcher Demko (26 saves) had a perfect performance to help backstop the Canucks to their fifth straight win and help Vancouver secure its third road winning streak of five-plus games dating to 2013-14 (also 7-0-0 in 2022-23 & 5-0-0 in 2014-15). Demko recorded his fourth shutout of the season to tie Pittsburgh’s Tristan Jarry for the second most among all goaltenders, behind only Arizona’s Connor Ingram who recorded his fifth Saturday. The last Canucks goaltender to earn as many shutout performances in a campaign was Ryan Miller in 2014-15 (6).

* Jake Oettinger (20 saves)made his return to the lineup Friday and came in relief Saturday to backstop the Stars (25-12-5, 55 points) to victory with his 90th career win (90-42-21 in 162 GP). He is one of six U.S.-born goaltenders in NHL history to reach 90 career victories in 162 contests or fewer following Frank Brimsek (137 GP), Jimmy Howard (156 GP), Ryan Miller (157 GP), Connor Hellebuyck (162 GP) and Ben Bishop (162 GP).

* Clayton Keller (2-1—3) posted a three-point performance while his teammate Nick Bjugstad (Minneapolis, Minn.)added to the Hockey Fights Cancer Fund of the V Foundation with a hat trick in his hometown (AstraZeneca donates $5,000 to the fund up to $500,000 for every hat trick scored) to help the Coyotes pick up a six-goal shutout victory against the Wild. Keller climbed three franchise lists, moving into ninth place in points as well as tying Morris Lukowich for 10th place in multi-point and three-point games.

* Filip Forsberg assisted on Alexandre Carrier’s go-ahead goal at 59:52 – the latest such tally for the franchise – before Nashville potted another one seven seconds later to mark the second-fastest two-goal span in Predators history.  Nashville became the first team this season to rally from behind during the final five minutes and win in regulation multiple times (also Nov. 20, 2023).

* David Pastrnak (0-2—2) assisted on the overtime winner to record his 191st career multi-point game and move within two of fellow Czechia native and former teammate David Krejci (193) for ninth most in Bruins history. Pastrnak’s 20 multi-point games this season trail only Nikita Kucherov (22) and MacKinnon (22) for the most among all players.

* Kucherov (0-3—3) collected his 20th career three-point period as he became the fourth player in Lightning history to hit the 800-point milestone and the first skater this season to reach the 70-point threshold. Two of Kucherov’s assists came on power-play goals by Steven Stamkos (2-1—3) who climbed an all-time NHL list for power-play tallies with one franchise and became the first player in franchise history with 100 three-point outings.

* Kane (1-1—2) factored on two of five Red Wings (21-16-5, 47 points) goals as the club gained ground on the Islanders (19-13-10, 48 points) for the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference standings. Kane recorded his 332nd career multi-point game and tied Jeremy Roenick for the second most by a U.S.-born player in NHL history – Mike Modano tops the list with 358.

* Tarasenko (1-1—2) tallied the go-ahead goal with five seconds remaining in regulation and Tim Stützle secured a career-high four assists as the Senators stunned the Sharks. Tarasenko became the third player in franchise history with a go-ahead goal in the final five seconds of regulation, joining Nick Foligno (59:56 on Oct. 27, 2011) and Milan Michalek (59:55 on Oct. 22, 2011).
