Jeff Skinner gave the Oilers a 2-1 lead at 10:50 of the second period on a shot from the crease that bounced off of Predators defenseman Luke Schenn and past Saros. The 32-year-old forward is in his first season with the Oilers after signing a one-year, $3 million contract on July 1. He has four points (two goals, two assists) through five games.

Kulak tied the game at 1-1 late in the first period and then added an empty-netter to seal the win in the third. Considering he hasn't scored more than six goals in any of his NHL seasons, a two-goal game is a rarity for the 30-year-old defenseman.
