Tyson Barrie scored twice, Connor McDavid had his NHL-best 41st goal and the Edmonton Oilers headed into their All-Star break with a 7-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night.
McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman each had a goal and two assists, and Evander Kane and Ryan McLeod also scored for the Oilers . They are 7-0-1 in their last eight games.
"We took over in the second period, but there were still a couple of things I’d like to clean up," Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft said. "But our team is 10-3-2 since the Christmas break and you couldn’t script it better for us. I think we’ve taken a step here, it’s a credit to our players." Jason Dickinson, Jonathan Toews and Taylor Raddysh scored for the Blackhawks . They have lost three of their last four."We had a great start, but we maybe just stopped skating a little bit from what we had done in the first," Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane said. "It would have been nice to control it a little more in the second, those are usually make-or-break periods."
Oilers netminder Stuart Skinner came down with a sudden illness, forcing them to activate emergency backup goalie Matt Berlin, a player from the University of Alberta Golden Bears. With the big lead, the Oilers put him in net with 2:26 to play, and he stopped the only shot he faced.UP NEXT:DAILY NEWSLETTERthat I have read and agree
