Hampus Lindholm and Elias Lindholm each had a goal and an assist for the Bruins (21-18-2), who snapped a six-game losing streak that began with a 3-1 loss at home to Edmonton on Dec. 18.

The Edmonton Oilers closed 2025 with a New Year’s Eve 6-2 loss to the Boston Bruins at Rogers Place. Boston set the tone early, scored twice in the first period, and stayed in control throughout the night.

Since trading Stuart Skinner, Edmonton has received excellent goaltending, no matter who’s in net. I prefer five-on-five save percentage in evaluating goalies, as it’s a level playing field and is the largest game state. Here’s a look at five-on-five save percentages in the nine games.

Connor McDavid leads the Oilers with 24 goals and 45 assists. Leon Draisaitl has been hot lately, contributing three goals and 15 assists over the past 10 games.

BOTTOM LINE: The Winnipeg Jets will try to end their five-game skid when they play the Edmonton Oilers. Winnipeg has a 15-17-4 record overall and an 8-7-2 record in home games. The Jets have a -5 scoring differential, with 105 total goals scored and 110 allowed.

And that means a lot coming from the Edmonton Oilers captain, who just put together one of the best individual months an NHL player has ever had, carrying a point streak of 13-games and 33-points (13 goals, 20 assists) into the final game of the 2025 calendar on Wednesday at Rogers Place against the Boston Bruins.

The return of back-to-back Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck hasn’t helped the Winnipeg Jets right the ship, as he sports an active 1-5 record with a run-of-the-mill .893 save percentage.

The Boston Bruins continue their swing through western Canada with a trip to Edmonton for a Wednesday night matchup with Connor McDavid and the Pacific Division-leading Oilers. The Bruins began the north-of-the-border leg of their five-game trip with a 2-1 overtime loss to the Calgary Flames on Monday,
