Nugent-Hopkins scored just his second five-on-five point of the season away from Connor McDavid. It’s been an unusu

The difference in the game was great goaltending from Washington’s Logan Thompson — who was strangely left off of the Team Canada roster — and the fact that the Edmonton power play without McDavid was anemic, with not one Grade A shot in three opportunities.

Moments ago, the Edmonton Oilers shared a revised lineup for tonight's game against the Washington Capitals after Connor McDavid was suspended for three games.

How does a team replace Connor McDavid in their lineup? That’s an easy question — They don’t. With the team’s captain serving the first game of a three-game suspension for cross-checking, Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said it’ll take a community approach to handle playing without McDavid.

The Oilers will adjust their lineup for the first of his three games without Connor McDavid due to suspension on Tuesday at Rogers Place against the Capitals

The Capitals as a team lead the NHL with an impressive 31-10-5 record, having earned a point in 10 straight games (7-0-3). Washington will be seeking revenge against the Oilers for taking both games in the season series by a 12-2 goal margin. The two sides wrap up their season series on Feb. 23 in Washington.

The Edmonton Oilers will play the next three games without superstar captain Connor McDavid after the NHL suspended him for cross-checking Vancouver Canucks winger Conor Garland on Saturday.

The Edmonton Oilers went 3-1 in four games last week, including two come-from-behind wins, and almost pulled off another against the Vancouver Canucks on Jan.

The Capitals have taken a more aggressive stance with their penalty kill this season and seen huge improvements as a result.

Evan Bouchard scored with 6:55 left and the surging Edmonton Oilers overcame a three-goal deficit to beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-3 on Thursday night.

Thanks to Schenn’s two goals, Kyrou’s goal of his own and Holloway’s pair of assists, the line combined for five points in another important win over Calgary on Thursday night.
