EDMONTON -- Connor McDavid scored in his return from a three-game suspension, and the Edmonton Oilers won 4-2 against the Seattle Kraken at Rogers Place on Monday.

So close, yet so far. This was the story of the Edmonton Oilers in 2023-24 season as they lost in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final against the Florida Panthers and fell short.

Connor McDavid and Corey Perry scored in the second period and the Oilers rallied to beat the Kraken 4-2 on Monday in Edmonton.

Pickard stopped 26 of 28 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Kraken. Pickard got the start Monday because Stuart Skinner wasn't available, as he's expecting the birth of his child shortly, and he delivered a solid showing between the pipes.

Pickard made a start in Seattle on Jan. 4 and turned aside 16 of 18 shots (.889 save percentage) en route to a 4-2 win.
