The Chicago Blackhawks dropped their second game of a back-to-back weekend set, falling 4-3 to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night.

With the loss, the Blackhawks move to 14-27-2 of the season.

Chicago has now lost eight of its last ten games, continuing a season-long struggle with consistency.

Also, Connor Bedard’s long nine-game point streak comes to an end and was frustrated after the loss.

Chicago started strong in the first period. Teuvo Teravainen opened the scoring with a one-timer from the slot off a feed from Jason Dickinson, giving the Blackhawks a 1-0 lead.

Teravainen has been on a tear recently, with three goals in his last two games, including a pair in Friday’s 5-3 loss to the Detroit Red Wings.

The criticism of Chicago Blackhawks star Connor Bedard is getting out of  hand

Captain Nick Foligno doubled the lead, jamming the puck past Edmonton goaltender Calvin Pickard from the side of the net. The Blackhawks headed into the first intermission with a 2-0 advantage.

However, the Oilers struck back with no time to spare. Vasily Podkolzin scored 22 seconds into the second period, cutting the deficit to 2-1.

Ryan Donato restored Chicago’s two-goal lead with a quick turnaround shot from the shot, beating Pickard for his 13th goal of the season. Donato has scored in consecutive games after snapping a 16-game goalless drought.

Edmonton pushed back once again. Adam Henrique tipped in a shot from Ty Emberson to make it 3-2, and former Blackhawk Corey Perry tied the game at 3 just 1:43 later. As Perry’s goal was announced on the jumbotron, the Blackhawks fans responded with boos.

The teams entered the second intermission deadlocked at three a piece.

In the third period, the Blackhawks a uselses penalty. Following a trip from Noah Allan, the Oilers capitalized on the powerplay a minute later after the penalty was called. Zach Hyman scored the game-winner, scoring on the rebound from his office to give the Oilers their first lead of the night.

Chicago had a chance to tie the game late after earning its first powerplay of night—and first in two games—but the Oilers held their ground to secure the 4-3 victory

The Blackhawks next game is against another Alberta opponent, the Calgary Flames Monday.

Puck drop is at 7:30 p.m. EST. The game will air on NHL Network.
