Not only did Utah spiral into a 7-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers Tuesday night but all of the other teams chasing the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference — the St. Louis Blues, Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks — won their respective games. The Club sits four points out of playoff contention now.

Connor McDavid, Mattias Ekholm and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins each had a goal and two assists for the Oilers (40-24-4), who won their third in a row and pulled within two points of the Vegas Golden Knights for first in the Pacific Division. Calvin Pickard made 29 saves.

The Oilers returned home after back-to-back road wins over the New York Islanders and the New York Rangers and proceeded to demolish the youngest franchise in the NHL, with Connor McDavid notching three points on the strength of a goal and two assists.
