The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Seattle Kraken 4-0 on November 29, 2025, at Climate Pledge Arena. Goaltender Stuart Skinner made 26 saves for his ninth career shutout. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Leon Draisaitl, Zach Hyman and Connor McDavid each recorded a goal and an assist in the win.

The Edmonton Oilers evened their season series with the Seattle Kraken at 1-1 with a convincing 4-0 shutout win on Saturday, November 29, in Seattle. The Kraken had won the first matchup 3-2 on October 25, but the Oilers dominated this time, improving to 11-10-5 while the Kraken fell to 11-7-6 and extended their losing streak to three games.

The game started with tension, as Mason Marchment was penalized for goaltender interference midway through the first period. Edmonton capitalized on the power play at 11:29, when Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, returning from a nine-game injury absence, chipped a pass from Evan Bouchard over Joey Daccord's glove to make it 1-0. Nugent-Hopkins finished with a goal and an assist, playing 7:08 in the period.

In the second period, Leon Draisaitl extended his point streak to eight games (five goals, eight assists) with Edmonton's second goal at 12:30 on a 3-on-2 rush, snapping a shot off the post and in after a pass from Andrew Mangiapane. Later, at 18:51, Zach Hyman scored his first goal of the season on the power play, redirecting Draisaitl's centering pass through Daccord's five-hole with an assist from Nugent-Hopkins, making it 3-0.

Connor McDavid sealed the victory at 6:25 of the third period, lifting a shot into an open net from a sharp angle after a feed from Hyman for his 11th goal. Skinner was stellar throughout, denying Berkly Catton on a breakaway and stopping all 12 shots on a perfect 6-for-6 penalty kill. The Oilers' power play went 2-for-2, while Seattle's was 0-for-6.

The game featured physicality, including a blindside hit on Darnell Nurse by Marchment and post-whistle scrums. Fights broke out in the third: Connor Clattenburg vs. Frederick Gaudreau and Alec Regula vs. Ryker Evans. Nurse and Marchment each received 10-minute misconducts late.

Skinner rebounded from being pulled in a prior 8-3 loss to Dallas, earning his second shutout of the season. Daccord made 21 saves for Seattle, shut out for the second time in three games.

Edmonton heads home to face the Minnesota Wild on December 2.
