Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner made 22 saves for his seventh straight win.

Petr Mrazek stopped 25 shots for Chicago, which saw its road losing streak stretch to seven games.

The Oilers led 2-1 after one period, despite being outshot 14-8.

Bedard opened the scoring, snapping a shot glove side past Skinner at 3:21. It was his 12th goal of the season, snapping his five-game goalless drought and extending his road point streak to 10 games.
