The Montreal Canadiens will have a chance to bounce back against the Edmonton Oilers after a subpar performance against the New York Rangers on Saturday night.

7. Leon Draisaitl’s three-point performance on Saturday gives him 999 for his NHL career to date. When he hits the milestone, he will join Wayne Gretzky (1,669), Connor McDavid (1,133), Jari Kurri (1,043) and Mark Messier (1,034) in a very select club.

Draisaitl also made his impact felt. He recorded three assists and pushed his point streak to five games. He now sits at 999 career points, closing in on a major mark. His calm play helped Edmonton take over the game after a tight start.

The Penguins have traded goaltender Tristan Jarry to the Western Conference. The team announced on Friday morning that goaltender Tristan Jarry and forward Sam Poulin were sent to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for goaltender Stuart Skinner, defenseman Brett Kulak, and a 2029 second-round pick.

Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube called out his team’s leadership and sustained poor efforts during the third period, following a 6-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.

Craig Berube did not hide his frustration after the Toronto Maple Leafs lost 6-3 to the Edmonton Oilers at home on Saturday. Speaking to the media after the game, the coach pointed his message directly at Auston Matthews and the team’s leadership group. He said the issue is not systems, but mindset and urgency.

For the second consecutive contest, a poor third period effort from the Toronto Maple Leafs cost them a game. Toronto surrendered a two-goal lead and lost in overtime against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday.

The Oilers have been connected to several veteran goaltenders of various quality with unattractive contracts. Jordan Binnington of the St. Louis Blues has a $6 million cap hit in 2026-27, and Tristan Jarry of the Pittsburgh Penguins has two years left at $5.375 million.

The Edmonton Oilers had themselves a big day on Dec. 12, as they brought in multiple new players. Goaltender Tristan Jarry was their biggest addition of course, as the Oilers will be hoping that he provide them with more stability between the pipes.
