EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) Warren Foegele had two goals, Leon Draisaitl had a goal and three assists and the Edmonton Oilers rallied to beat the Seattle Kraken 4-2 on Thursday night to extend their winning streak to a franchise-record 12 games.

Zach Hyman also scored for Edmonton, and Stuart Skinner stopped 25 shots. The Oilers have gone 20-3-0 in their last 23 games to improve to 25-15-1. They tied the record for the longest winning streak by a Canadian team set by the 1967-68 Montreal Canadiens.

ā€œI am happy we got the win. This group just keeps battling back and we were super calm. Hopefully we can continue this,ā€ Foegele said. ā€œStu played a huge game again and that is what you need from your goaltender.ā€

The Oilers have come from behind eight times during the 12-game streak.

ā€œItā€™s been a theme of this winning streak. We stay composed,ā€ defenseman Mattias Ekholm said. ā€œI feel like it hasnā€™t really mattered if itā€™s going into the third, going into the second, going to the last five minutes of the gameā€¦ We find a way right now to stay in it and end up on the right side of things.ā€

Eeli Tolvanen and Jared McCann scored to give Seattle a 2-0 lead. The Kraken lost their third in a row during the tail end of a six-game trip after a nine-game winning streak.

ā€œOur first 20 was good and, obviously, the first 10 minutes of the second period was what cost us,ā€ Kraken coach Dave Hakstol said. ā€œWe werenā€™t as sharp as we needed to be and obviously gave up too much in that time span. We did push back after that, but we werenā€™t able to capitalize on what was a good start.ā€

Seattle started the scoring midway through the opening period when Oliver Bjorkstrand sprang Tolvanen with a long breakaway pass. The Finnish forward beat Stuart Skinner high to the glove side for his 12th of the season.

The Kraken went up 2-0 a few minutes later when McCann picked the top corner for his 18th after a giveaway by Evander Kane.

Edmonton scored 37 seconds into the second. A big rebound on Draisaitl's shot fell to Foegele and he scored his eighth before goalie Joey Daccord could get across.

The Oilers drew even on the power play 4:38 into the second when Draisaitl banked in his 22nd of the season off Daccord. Draisaitl has 10 goal in his last 13 games.

Edmonton added a third goal in a seven-minute span when a backhand pass from Draisaitl sent Foegele in all alone.

The Oilers put the game away with 2:38 remaining while Yanni Gourde served a five-minute major for charging. Connor McDavid sent a pretty backhand across the crease to give Hyman an easy power play tap-in for his 27th of the season. The assist extended McDavidā€™s points streak to 12 games.

Edmonton tied its franchise record with 10 consecutive games allowing two or fewer goals.
