The Edmonton Oilers are one of five NHL teams that haven’t won three games in a row this season. Through 31 games, they’ve been unable to string together three solid performances.The Oilers lost 4-2 in Long Island, 3-2 at Seattle, 5-4 at Columbus and lost 4-3 in OT vs. Buffalo last night with an opportunity to win three in a row.

The Oilers’ second period was dreadful. Alex Lyon started the second after David Tomášek crashed into Colten Ellis late in the first while driving to the net.The Oilers didn’t get a shot on Lyon until 4:40 into the second period. The shots were 14-3 and the score was 2-0 for Buffalo in the first 15:26 of the period. The Sabres also had a goal disallowed that was deemed a glove pass. Edmonton got dominated in the middle period on home ice by a team that played the night before and had just inserted its second goalie of the game. It wasn’t until Blake Malenstyn shot the puck over the glass with 4:29 remaining in the period that the Oilers gained some life with some shots on the man advantage.Then in the third period the Oilers woke up, led by Connor McDavid. McDavid was flying all game and scored 10 second into the third and then tied the game with one second remaining. He willed them to a point,........
