Coyotes extend point streak vs. Oilers to 25 games
21-0-4.
That's now the Arizona Coyotes' record in the past 25 against the Edmonton Oilers after a 2-1 road win on Sunday, extending a run of team-on-team dominance that knows no equal in today's NHL.

The Coyotes have picked up a least a point in every game played against the Oilers since Jan. 11, 2011. On that day, Edmonton won 4-3 in regulation, with Dustin Penner picking up the game-winning goal with 22 second remaining in the third period.
Connor McDavid turned 14 two days later, as a point of historical reference.
The Oilers haven't been a tough beat in recent years, although neither have the Coyotes since the team advanced to the Western Conference Finals in 2012.
This season, however, Edmonton sits first in the Pacific Division while the Coyotes have dropped to eighth, meaning this weekend's home-and-home series was a good chance to break the streak.
Despite amassing a 2-0 lead in Friday's game in Arizona, the Oilers fell 3-2 in a shootout before Sunday's regulation loss.
The next opportunity for the Oilers to break the streak will be Dec. 21 in Arizona.
