The Edmonton Oilers were stopped one game short of NHL history on Tuesday.
Entering the game on a 16-game winning streak and needing one more win to tie the NHL record, the Oilers fell to the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday. The 1992-93 Pittsburgh Penguins, current owners of the record, can once again rest easy.
The game-winning goal arrived early in the third period, which began as a 1-1 tie after the teams exchanged goals in the first. A stumble in transition left the Oilers off-balance enough to allow Knights center Chandler Stephenson to score on a one-timer.
