The Chicago Blackhawks head into Thursday night hoping to extend their somewhat unexpected win streak to five games with a victory against the Edmonton Oilers.
The Oilers are also trying to extend their own win streak, albeit to three games. They defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-3 Monday night and then narrowly beat the St. Louis Blues 3-1 Wednesday night. The game in Chicago will be their third game in four nights and the final one on a three-game road trip before they return home to Edmonton.

In their latest win, it was one of those rare occasions where neither Connor McDavid nor Leon Draisaitl scored, although they did factor into the scoring with secondary assists.
