#3 Stuart Skinner

Stuart Skinner was on his game on Saturday night. The 27 saves Skinner made came in a tight-scoring game that could have gone either way. But Skinner bought the Edmonton Oilers enough time to get the contest into overtime.

The Oilers' netminder has quietly put together a solid start, playing in nine games, winning four. He’s racked up a 2.52 GAA and .900 SV%. Moving forward, the Oilers hope their number-one goalie can keep up the consistent efforts.

#2 Jack Roslovic

Jack Roslovic was a bit of a late addition to start the season. But he’s been a solid one. On Saturday night, he got a nifty goal to give the Edmonton Oilers a 2-1 lead late in the second period.

Here’s a look at the goal:

The goal was one of two power play markers by the Oilers. The tally was possible thanks to a fantastic shot pass from Connor McDavid that found Roslovic’s stick. It was Roslovic’s second of the season.

Roslovic ended the night playing over 22 minutes across 21 shifts. He got two shots on goal, and continues to impress in a top-six role this season.

#1 Leon Draisaitl

Leon Draisaitl was money in the bank once again for the Oilers. He ended the night with two points (1G, 1A), with his crucial assist helping Evan Bouchard end the game in overtime.
