Edmonton Daily Digest — March 15, 2026

Big night on the ice: Connor McDavid posted three assists as the Edmonton Oilers beat the Nashville Predators 3-1 on March 15, 2026, with goals from Leon Draisaitl, Matthew Savoie and Zach Hyman. Draisaitl took a hard hit from Ozzy Wiesblatt early, came back for a few shifts but didn’t return to start the second period, and Connor Ingram made 26 saves (Justus Annunen had 27 for Nashville); Edmonton is now 33-26-9 and snapped a two-game skid. This matters because McDavid extended his point streak vs. Nashville to 18 games and the Oilers remain dominant against the Preds (16-1-3 in the last 20), though Draisaitl’s injury is a real concern for fans.

Fatal shooting on Highway 2: Leduc RCMP are investigating after a driver was shot and killed around 2:50 p.m. on Saturday near Township Road 490 when a white or grey dirty pickup pulled up beside a black 2012 Honda Civic and then sped off. Cpl. Matthew Howell confirmed the Civic’s driver was not alone; police haven’t identified the victim or the suspect vehicle, the highway was closed for several hours before reopening, and Alberta RCMP’s major crimes unit is asking anyone with information or dashcam video to call Leduc RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
