Oilers’ win streak reaches 3 games with comeback victory over Blues

The Edmonton Oilers seem to be finding their way.

Connor McDavid and Co. picked up their third straight win Thursday as the Oilers defeated the St. Louis Blues by a 3-2 score.

It was a comeback effort for the Oilers, as the Blues led 2-1 late in the final frame. Cam Talbot was a key factor in the outcome, as he turned aside 34 shots, including a number of big saves early in the game, to preserve the win.

The victory comes on the heels of wins over the San Jose Sharks and Minnesota Wild to give the Oilers their first three-game win streak of the season.

The latest win shows further signs of a turnaround in Edmonton after the team entered December with a 10-14-2 record. The Oilers now sit five points out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

The Oilers will look to push their streak to four games when they face off against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.
