Amid a rough patch in the 2025-26 NHL season, Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner delivered a clear message to Connor McDavid and company.

Edmonton Oilers staged a thrilling 5-4 overtime victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets, erasing a 3-1 deficit. Connor McDavid ignited the comeback with two goals, while Jake Walman netted a historic shorthanded equalizer.

The Oilers are outscoring opponents 18-15 with one or both McDavid and Draisaitl on the ice, but being outscored 8-16 when the two big centres are on the bench. Part of the problem may be due to long stretches where the third and fourth lines don’t play much.
