The Edmonton Oilers will aim for back-to-back wins when they travel to Nashville to face the Predators on Thursday.

The Oilers snapped a three-game skid with a 4-3 overtime victory against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night, concluding a four-game homestand. Edmonton had dropped three straight for the first time since the 2015-16 season -- Connor McDavid's rookie campaign.
