Hill makes 30 saves, Golden Knights end Oilers’ 16-game winning streak

Connor McDavid scored in his fourth straight game, and Stuart Skinner made 23 saves for the Oilers (29-16-1), who had not lost since Dec. 19.

“We had a lot of things go right obviously,” McDavid said. “Winning 16 straight, you have to have things go well and you have to get some bounces. And we got some bounces, but I thought we went out and earned our bounces and earned our luck. Tonight, we didn’t go out and get it. Credit to them, they make a shot and they’re able to clog it up enough to get it done.”

McDavid gave Edmonton a 1-0 lead at 4:35 of the first period with a short-handed goal on a breakaway.

Roy tied it 1-1 at 18:06 with a backhand on the rebound of Alex Pietrangelo’s shot.

“I liked a lot of things about our game, unfortunately we came up a little short,” Edmonton coach Kris Knoblauch said. “I think the big turning point was the late goal they scored in the first period, and then for us it was just missed opportunities, whether it was just [hitting] goal posts or their goalie coming up big or missing an empty net. I think the chances were there; I think it was one of our better games that we played in the last two or three weeks.”
