Connor Ingram faces Vegas Sunday, and the Oilers' lack of attention to detail and defensive lapses against the Wild offer little confidence for his starting debut.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Matt Boldy scored twice, and the Minnesota Wild won their seventh straight game by defeating the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 at Grand Casino Arena on Saturday.

The Edmonton Oilers battled hard against a good team on Saturday afternoon, but fell short to the Minnesota Wild. 3-2 on the road trip, Connor McDavid extended his point streak to nine games (11-12-23),

Prior to Saturday’s game against the Oilers, the Wild activated defensemen Jonas Brodin and Jacob Middleton as well as forwards Mats Zuccarello and Vinnie Hinostroza. Bringing back those four players clearly gave the Wild more depth and strength, and they had no problems against Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the Oilers.

The recent goaltender trade that saw Stuart Skinner exit the Edmonton Oilers organization represents one of the final touches of the roster remake/remodel for general manager Stan Bowman. His version of the team involves several new feature players added over the last 16 months.

With Tristan Jarry suffering an injury early into his Oilers tenure, Edmonton is reportedly looking into one of the Sabres' netminders.

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl put on a show as the Edmonton Oilers waltzed their way to a 6-4 victory at PPG Paints Arena. Draisaitl finished with four assists, the first one producing the 1,000th point of his career.
