Things quickly got out of hand near the end of Saturday’s matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks, and the fun part about that is that we didn’t have to wait long for the rematch.

The Edmonton Oilers went 2-1-0 in three games last week, improving to 31-15-3 on the season. With their win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon, they claimed the top spot in the Pacific Division for the first time in five years.

Edmonton Oilers forward Corey Perry made a sarcastic remark regarding his exchange with J.T. Miller following a heated second period between the Oilers and the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday.

Connor McDavid and Corey Perry scored in the second period and the Edmonton Oilers rallied to beat the Seattle Kraken 4-2 for their third straight win.

Saad has been relegated to a bottom-six role in St. Louis, having been passed on the depth chart by former Oilers forward Dylan Holloway. He is coming off a 26-goal campaign with the Blues last season, and it still looks like he has the wheels to be an NHL player.
