It started with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins beating Phillip Grubauer off a classic Connor McDavid rush. The Kraken responded with two goals before Noah Philp snuck past the Seattle defense to take a sweet feed from Mattias Ekholm and beat Grubauer high to tie it at 2.

Calvin Pickard left with an injury and did not return in the Oilers' 5-4 win over Seattle. The injury bug was biting across the NHL on Saturday night. On a night when Montreal Canadiens Patrik Laine and David Reinbacher left the arena on crutches, the Edmonton Oilers may have lost their backup goaltender as they beat the Seattle Kraken 5-4.

Edmonton Oilers prospect Noah Philp stepped away from the game last season for personal reasons after a productive 2022-23 season with the Bakersfield Condors, and he has made a strong showing in his return during this preseason.
