EDMONTON -- Connor McDavid will be back in the lineup when the Edmonton Oilers host the Seattle Kraken at Rogers Place on Monday (9:30 p.m. ET; TVAS, SNW, KONG, KHN), having served his three-game suspension for cross-checking Vancouver Canucks forward Connor Garland on Jan. 18.

Hyman and his family have officially purchased the OHL's Brantford Bulldogs from Ottawa Senators owner Michael Andlauer.

The Edmonton Oilers have Connor McDavid back after a three-game suspension and, with that, came some pretty major line changes.

The Edmonton Oilers went 2-1-0 in three games last week, improving to 31-15-3 on the season. With their win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon, they claimed the top spot in the Pacific Division for the first time in five years.

The OHL says the new ownership group is pursuing a long-term lease agreement with the city that would include plans for a new arena.

BOTTOM LINE: The Edmonton Oilers host the Buffalo Sabres after Zach Hyman's two-goal game against the Vancouver Canucks in the Oilers' 6-2 win. Edmonton is 30-15-3 overall and 16-8-1 at home.

So close, yet so far. This was the story of the Edmonton Oilers in 2023-24 season as they lost in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final against the Florida Panthers and fell short.

Those were Zach Hyman's thoughts on the Oilers' 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. It's clear where he was coming from: Buffalo outshot Edmonton 41-32, peppering Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner with 36 shots in the final 40 minutes. The Oilers were lucky to come away with a win against the last-place team in the Eastern Conference.
