Connor McDavid shines as he scores multiple goals and assists in the Oilers' 4-1 victory over the Kings. McDavid's performance, including a goal and two assists, helps Edmonton secure the win. Other notable contributions come from Draisaitl, Bouchard, and Skinner in a solid team effort.
Since being recalled Mark Jankowski has 5G - 7A - 12PTS. Altogether with his AHL & NHL numbers, he has 60 points. He’s playing some phenomenal hockey this season. #Preds
That's Mittelstadt's third PPG of the year and first with the Avs
A familiar face is back on top of the Art Ross Trophy race… but for how long? Nathan MacKinnon and Nikita Kucherov can still change the ranking during Saturday’s action. #NHLStats: https://t.co/6vd7O5fG8d https://t.co/pnNjY1m0QU
Casey Mittlestadt has put the puck in the net. The ref near the net called ... nothing. After some delay, it's a good goal. Might be reviewed, but Mikko Rantanen was clearly x-checked into Lankinen. Could be 3-2 Preds. Still waiting ...
They're calling this a good goal and reviewing it. Scissons cross-checked Rantanen into Lankinen. This should stand after review
The Nashville Predators have now outscored the Colorado Avalanche 10-2 over the past five periods, with 4:40 left in this one. And it was almost 11-2.
Jason Zucker 🤝 Brunette’s system Zucker with a nice zone entry & Fabbro finishes the play for his 3rd of the season. #Preds
And Dante Fabbro scores on the next shift. 3-1 NSH, three goals on 10 shots. #Avs haven't had a true stinker since ... the last time they played Nashville, at the beginning of the month. https://t.co/1zPM9Zx7ZY
3-1 Nashville. Zucker chips and chases around Makar, circles the net and finds Fabbro at the point.
What an absolute BEAUTY by Mark Jankowski 🥵 2-1 #Preds
Travis Jankowski tried to slip the puck across the front of the crease. Devon Toews blocked that, but it went right back to Jankowski and he flicked into the shortside corner with Georgiev sliding over to take away the initial shot. Tough break for Toews/Georgiev. 2-1 NSH
Jankowski sneaks one in over Georgiev after all the penalties expire. Preds lead 2-1
Parise turnover along the boards, and Jankowski makes it 2-1.
One minute of 5 on 3 here. #preds need to capitalize
Miles Wood joins MacKinnon in the box. He's going for tripping. Avs gotta kill off 1:08 of a 5-on-3 against the NHL's 17th best PP team
Ryan McDonagh butt-checked Nathan MacKinnon as he was heading to the front of the net. Looked like an off-balance MacKinnon tried to jump over Lankinen, but that didn't work and the official gave him a goalie INT penalty he did not agree with.
Makar is back on the bench for Colorado https://t.co/F4yZxrDN8a
Nathan MacKinnon's home point streak is now at ... one game. MacKinnon to Jonathan Drouin on the doorstep. 1-1
Cole freaking Smith. 1-0 #Preds Cale Makar exits the game for Colorado. Hate to see that. Did not look good
Cole Smith breaks a 12-game goalless streak. #Preds lead 1-0 in Colorado.
Craig Smith found a massive hole in the #Avs defense ... right between the hash marks ... and then he didn't miss. Preds have been flying since the second shift. 1-0 NSH
Preds get the opening goal, and Makar is headed down the tunnel after blocking a Forsberg shot. 1-0 Nashville.
Preds lead 1-0 as Makar hobbles off the ice after blocking a shot on the back of his leg.
That's about as heated I've seen Cale Makar on the ice. Just giving it to the nearest ref for not calling goalie interference there after Alex Georgiev got run over by a falling Predators player.
Connor McDavid's second goal of the game. 😎 ( 🎥: @EdmontonOilers) https://t.co/yUEPd1nGh8
And McDavid is now tied for the NHL scoring lead. https://t.co/ocuig8qgR7
McDavid passes MacKinnon in points for the time being. Now tied with Kucherov.
McDavid scores his second of the game on a power play after getting a pass from Draisaitl. 4-0 EDM.
Connor McDavid of the @EdmontonOilers leads all skaters in March with 6-23—29 (15 GP) and after the first period sits one point back of Nikita Kucherov in the Art Ross Trophy race. Kucherov and Nathan MacKinnon are both in action later today. #NHLStats: https://t.co/6vd7O5fG8d https://t.co/RRaQgriorz
Connor McDavid, everyone. 😮 https://t.co/2II4y7Dfy7 https://t.co/ZwRYYhCrUm
Connor freaking McDavid. Unreal. https://t.co/O3p1qukSS2
Here's the McDavid goal. What a beauty. https://t.co/iP6QNdItge
You've heard it before, but we gotta say it again... Just Connor McDavid (@cmcdavid97) doing Connor McDavid things. 😮💨 https://t.co/gX6PkAKVcy
Adam Henrique scores against his former team and in the second straight game — his fourth as an Oiler. A versatile pick up — in the top-six once again this afternoon and showing well on the left side of Draisaitl. #Oilers
Adam Henrique opens the scoring against his former team 3:47 in. 1-0 EDM.
Adam Henrique draws first blood against his former team. You had to know it was coming. #FlyTogether
It’s quite possible at some point today on @Sportsnet (2:08 MT) five-time Art Ross winner Connor McDavid takes over the NHL scoring lead. He averaged a point per game (6-10-16) in his 1st 16 GP before averaging exactly two PPG since (21-85-106) as the Oilers have gone 39-11-3.
While everyone has been focused on the streak, and Wayne Gretzky’s record, Nathan MacKinnon is one point behind Nikita Kucherov, and one point ahead of Connor McDavid for the NHL lead. If the season ends that way … https://t.co/DM0ZgMUvnf
Connor McDavid has enjoyed an unbelievable stretch of hockey that has seen him shoot up in the points leaderboard. Is this the most impressive stretch of his career? @CraigJButton explains why “this is Connor McDavid's hockey world and everyone else is just playing in it” in… https://t.co/YtLNb5NQ7u
McDavid has 3 points in Oilers win against Kings: https://t.co/niKgA88Cwu
A shootout loss and the end of Nathan MacKinnon's home point streak. If Thursday night was a Stanley Cup Final preview, sign Avs fans up. Only with a different outcome. From @KyleNewmanDP https://t.co/klQoaZMT60
McDavid has 3 points in Oilers win against Kings https://t.co/niKgA88Cwu
Nathan MacKinnon's home point streak is no more, and the Avalanche dropped their second straight game in a hard fought matchup against the Eastern Conference leading Rangers. https://t.co/uDBDUO8uXz
Nathan MacKinnon was FINALLY held pointless at home. 😳 https://t.co/FNRuLN208R
21 Days remain in the NHL’s Regular Season … The Race for the Art Ross Trophy, for the NHL’s Top Scorer, tightens up: Kucherov has 124 pts with 10 games left. MacKinnon has 123 pts with 9 games left. McDavid has 122 pts with 11 games left.
McDavid, Draisaitl help Oilers rule over Kings 4-1 https://t.co/OmYzasgoqY https://t.co/V6VcxAbt66
The @EdmontonOilers win an intense battle over L.A. McDavid 1-2-3…6-game point streak (2-14-16) now up to 95 assists and 122 points. Draisaitl 3 assists…6-game point streak (5-5-10). Skinner…solid…32 saves. Real solid defensive structure and process from EDM tonight.
Oilers win 4-1, the result of a solid team game. McDavid: 1-2-3 Draisaitl: 0-0-3 Bouchard: 1-1-2 Skinner: 32 saves
Oilers beat Kings, 4-1, behind Stuart Skinner's 32 saves and Connor McDavid's goal and two assists. Loss combined with Vegas win drops L.A. into second wild card. Little offense generated until third-period push. Oft-scratched Arthur Kaliyev does draw in and scores their goal.
The Kings allowed an easy zone entry for McDavid on an Oilers power play. He worked the puck down low and then set up Bouchard for a rocket. Draisaitl gets the second helper. 3-0 EDM McDavid is up to 95 assists via Bouchard's 16th goal of the season.
EDM Goal - Bouchard makes it three with a PPG. McDavid passes low-to-high, Bouchard buries the one-timer through traffic. 3-0.
Adam Henrique makes it two ✌️ https://t.co/Qu7ddfO5fo
Either Draisaitl banks a hard backhand pass off Henrique's knee and in or Henrique deflects home a Draisaitl pass with his knee. Whatever the case, it's 2-0 EDM. McDavid gets his 94th assist with a secondary helper.
EDM Goal - Oilers pull ahead 2-0 with 15.8 left in the second. Draisaitl flings one off Henrique's chest and in. Legit soccer chested it in. Kings so close to the intermission too.
Jason Zucker’s on hatty watch just over five minutes into the game. 👀 Stream the Coyotes vs. Predators game on Sportsnet+. https://t.co/unZDtgvcxi
Zucker again, 2-0 #Preds new forward coming with a vengeance tonight in Arizona. Only 5:11 off the clock & he's on hatty watch. Glass also has assists on both goals.
And the vibes are immaculate. Glass gets the rebound off a Sissons shot and feeds it to Zucker. 1-0 #Preds https://t.co/oc3Fl9zQ6n
Great pass from Cody Glass to get Jason Zucker a goal against his former team. #Preds coming out hot tonight. https://t.co/kvOiZTv7Vb
Zucker, 1-0 #Preds in his first game back in the party barn.
Players in NHL history to eclipse 120 points in three straight seasons, via @SNStats: ◽️ Wayne Gretzky ◽️ Mario Lemieux ◽️ Marcel Dionne ◽️ Guy Lafleur ◽️ Phil Esposito ◽️ Paul Coffey And now, Connor McDavid. 🎥 @NHL https://t.co/q6JDjuQkji
Connor McDavid with three 120-point seasons in a row 🤸♂️ https://t.co/0uobZzh883
Are you kidding me? McDavid knocks down a Bouchard one-timer before it even gets to Talbot, and deposits in the net. Picked it out of the air and it lands on his tape. Sheesh...
EDM Goal - McDavid opens the scoring. Unbelievable hand-eye from 97. Essentially caught Ekholm's one-timer from the point and deked for the goal. 1-0 Oilers.
McDavid pots a rebound off an Ekholm shot. It won't get him closer to 100 assists, but his 27th goal opens the scoring. 1-0 EDM
