EDMONTON – Connor Ingram celebrated his 29th birthday on Tuesday by making 27 saves for his second shutout of the season as the Edmonton Oilers extended their winning streak to four games by beating the Seattle Kraken 3-0.
Max Jones, Kasperi Kapanen and Connor McDavid scored for the Oilers (38-28-9) who have won six of their last eight games and are the second-last team in the NHL to have a four-game winning streak, with only Philadelphia unable to last that long this season.
Edmonton is two points behind Pacific Division-leading Anaheim and three points ahead of third-place Vegas. The Oilers now have a 28-5-5 record when scoring their first goal of the season.

IMPORTANT MOMENT
