Despite it being a close game entering the third period, Toronto lost control much like they did against the San Jose Sharks just a few days earlier.

Skinner, 27, was traded to Pittsburgh on Friday, along with defenceman Brett Kulak and a draft pick, from the Oilers in exchange for goaltender Tristan Jarry and forward Samuel Poulin. The 6-foot-4 netminder was 4-2-1 in his last seven games in Edmonton.

The Toronto Maple Leafs keep searching for answers after back-to-back third-period collapses, both leading to losses, including a 6–3 defeat to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. Following that loss, head coach Craig Berube publicly challenged Toronto’s leadership group, putting pressure on the Leafs’ top players.

Connor McDavid had two goals and an assist and Tristan Jarry made 25 saves in his first game for Edmonton, helping the Oilers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-3 on Saturday night.

Former NHL enforcer Jay Rosehill ripped into the Toronto Maple Leafs for their third-period collapse in a 6-3 rout by the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.

The Edmonton Oilers (14-11-6, 34 points) open a five-game road trip on Friday night when they visit the Toronto Maple Leafs (14-11-5, 33 points) at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, with Edmonton 3-0-1 in its last four games while the Leafs are 1-0-2 in their last three.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Troy Stecher will walk into Scotiabank Arena on Saturday night with "extra motivation" as his former team, the Edmonton Oilers, roll into town.

It's not just injuries that have caused the Leafs to drop three of the last four, including a humbling beatdown by the Oilers.
