Connor McDavid proved to be the star of the show with a goal and 4 assists, as he jumped into a tied 13th place in the NHL scoring race with 25 points.

Zach Hyman had two goals and an assist; Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Evander Kane, James Hamblin, Leon Draisaitl and Mattias Ekholm also scored, while goaltender Stuart Skinner made 21 saves.

Max Jones bagged both of Anaheim’s goal, who were leading at one stage, but collapsed dramatically to register their sixth consecutive loss.

“It’s terrible to be on the losing side of an 8-2 game, but talking to (general manager) Pat Verbeek afterwards, a lot of or guys are not used to seeing McDavid or Draisaitl, and the team is fast, so we’ll learn from it,” Ducks coach Greg Cronin said. “We’re on a bit of a losing streak. We’ve got to figure out a way to get out of it.”
