The Oilers played against the Golden Knights in Vegas in hopes of continuing their win streak that could have made history. The Oilers have been on a winning streak of 16 straight games, in this game against the Golden Knights they would've tied at 17 if they had won. Unfortunately, the Oilers lost 3-1 against Vegas... their win streak ending at 16 games.

Honestly, I thought the Boston Bruins would've been the team to end Edmonton's win streak!

Connor McDavid on the Oilers' unfortunate loss against Vegas: "I liked a lot of parts of our game. I thought we played similarly to what we've played throughout the entire streak. We just didn't find a way to win - It's always a tough game in this building, we were expecting that. Disappointing, but we move on."

Adin Hill on the Golden Knights' 3-1 win over the Oilers: "It felt like a playoff game tonight. It was as loud, as exciting, and the fans were into it. It was a good atmosphere."
