Detroit Red Wings rookie Emmitt Finnie reacted to scoring the first two goals of his NHL career against the Edmonton Oilers.

EDMONTON, Alberta -- - Connor McDavid had two goals and an assist, backup Calvin Pickard made 27 saves for his fifth career shutout and the Edmonton Oilers won their 15th straight game with a 3-0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night.

Crazy that just over one year ago today, this post came out detailing a second consecutive concerningly slow start to the season for the Edmonton Oilers.

In what’s become an alarming trend, the Rangers have not scored a goal in three home games this season, becoming the only team still active to open a season with that much futility on their home ice. The Blueshirts are the first team to open the season with three consecutive shutout losses at home in NHL history.

Jack Roslovic made his <a href=" Oilers debut Tuesday night as his new team faced the New York Rangers. It was game three for Edmonton, who were 1-0-1 on the season and coming off a dominant performance against the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday.

Some Oilers fans wonder if their club might poach a star from a struggling team. Meanwhile, some Canadiens fans ponder the futures of Brendan Gallagher and Jayden Struble.

Four games into the season, they finally got off the schneid Thursday night by beating the Oilers 4-2 on the back of Bo Horvat’s first hat trick as an Islander, which came with Team Canada assistant general manager Julien BriseBois watching on in the press box.

Well that was a very Edmonton Oilers-esque way to start the season, huh? The vibes were so immaculate to start the game. The new look power play overseen by Paul MacFarland scored on it’s very first opportunity.

The Oilers look to rebound with a victory on Saturday afternoon in the first of back-to-back games against the Devils at Prudential Center
