Connor McDavid notched 2 goals and had an assist to take the lead in points this campaign as the Edmonton Oilers trashed the Anaheim Ducks 6-1 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, AB.

Mattias Ekholm scored and provided 2 assists for Edmonton, who have won 3 straight matches. Adam Henrique, Warren Foegele and Zach Hyman also notched for the victory. Calvin Pickard stopped 22 shots in just missing his 2nd shutout of the campaign.

Alex Killorn notched the only goal for Anaheim in the final minutes, as his team has lost 4 consecutive and gone 1-9-1 in their last 11 games away from home. John Gibson stopped 31 shots.

Oilers began the game great and notched the 1st goal before 4 minutes were passed. Edmonton ended up winning the 1st period 3-0 as only 20 minutes after the clash began, it became clear who would win it. Anaheim notched their only goal with fewer than 5 minutes until the end of the match.

Anaheim plays the 4th match of a 5-match trip in Canada vs. the Canucks tomorrow, while Edmonton begins a 2-match trip vs. the Blues at the beginning of the next week.
