Adam Henrique scored two goals and Stuart Skinner stopped 26 shots in a 4-0 victory for the Edmonton Oilers against the Bruins on Tuesday in Boston. For the Alberta team, this is a fourth victory in a row.
Connor McDavid, on the power play, and Viktor Arvidsson, in an empty cage, also hit the target for the Oilers. Former Montreal Canadiens defenseman Brett Kulak collected two assists.
Skinner was the Oilers’ starting goalie, but he left the game in the first period preventively after a collision with Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov, penalized on the sequence.
He was replaced by Calvin Pickard — who didn’t have to make a save — with 5:25 left in the first before returning for the start of the second period. This short absence cost him a shutout, which was instead credited to the team.
Jeremy Swayman surrendered three times on 38 shots for the Bruins, who lost a fifth straight game.
