Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl each had a goal and an assist as the Edmonton Oilers won their second in a row, getting past Chicago 5-2 on Saturday.
Alex DeBrincat had a pair of goals for Chicago (5-10-2), which saw a four-game winning streak halted.
The Oilers struck first midway through the opening period. The rebound of Evan Bouchard’s point shot came out to McDavid, who netted his 12th of the season before Chicago goaltender Kevin Lankinen could get across. The goal extended McDavid’s point streak to 17 games.
Edmonton’s lethal power play cashed in on a 5-on-3 just over a minute later as Barrie unleashed a shot from the high slot.
The Oilers made it 3-0 with a short-handed tally with under five minutes to play as Seth Jones’ errant drop pass was picked off by Yamamoto, who beat Lankinen high to the glove side.
