The Edmonton Oilers beat the New York Islanders 4-0 at UBS Arena on Saturday, October 31, 2026, opening a three-game road trip. Tristan Jarry made 18 saves for his second consecutive shutout, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored twice for Edmonton.
The game was scoreless before Edmonton took control in the second period with three goals. Nugent-Hopkins opened the scoring at 8:42 of the second period. Vasily Podkolzin scored the middle goal of the three-goal second period, and Nugent-Hopkins scored again on the power play at 18:26 of the second.
McDavid extends both streaks
Connor McDavid extended his season-opening point streak to 14 games with the assist on Nugent-Hopkins' second goal at 18:26 of the second period. McDavid collected the primary helper on that goal, and that assist also extended his record season-opening assist streak to 14 games.
Leon Draisaitl had two assists for the Oilers. Edmonton finished the night with a record of 10-2-2, and the Oilers are 5-1-1 in their past seven games. Jason Dickinson added an empty-net goal with 2:37 remaining in the third period to complete the 4-0 score.
Jarry closes the door again
Jarry's shutout followed another clean game on Wednesday, when he made 24 saves in Edmonton's 4-0 win over the Calgary Flames. This was the 25th shutout of his career, and he has now stopped the last 42 shots he has faced over the shutout streak.
After the game, Jarry gave a short explanation for the run, via Sportsnet: "Guys are just committed."
Ilya Sorokin recorded 20 saves for the Islanders. Their two-game winning streak was snapped, and they were held without a goal for the first time this season. The Islanders' record in the numbers listed for the game was 7-5-2.
For Edmonton, the result combined a strong second period, two goals from Nugent-Hopkins, steady play from Draisaitl and McDavid, and another scoreless night from Jarry. The Oilers started their three-game road trip with a win, no goals allowed, and McDavid's two season-opening streaks still intact at 14 games each.
How the scoring was spread
The scoring was concentrated in one period, apart from the late empty-net goal. Nugent-Hopkins scored the first and third Edmonton goals, Podkolzin scored between them, and Dickinson finished the scoring in the third. That order left the Islanders chasing the game after the second period, but Sorokin still finished with 20 saves. At the other end, Jarry faced 18 shots and stopped them all, matching the clean sheet he had recorded against Calgary on Wednesday and keeping Edmonton in full control of the final score.
