Mattias Ekholm had a goal and two assists as the Edmonton Oilers snapped a three-game skid with a 5-4 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Saturday.

Edmonton Oilers netminder Calvin Pickard had his night cut unexpectedly short on Saturday. The 32-year-old goaltender was forced to leave Saturday’s pre-season game against the Seattle Kraken in the first period after he was run into by teammate Noah Philip and crashed hard to the ice.
