Connor McDavid had a standout performance with two goals and an assist, leading the Edmonton Oilers to a 5-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild. The Oilers' victory marks their seventh win in eight games.
Vasily Podkolzin scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period, Connor McDavid had two goals and an assist, and the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Minnesota Wild 5-3 on Wednesday for their seventh win in eight games. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also had a goal and an assist, and Zach Hyman ignited Edmonton's comeback from a 2-0 deficit with his 15th goal of the season. Calvin Pickard made 31 saves.
Matt Boldy, Marco Rossi, and Ryan Hartman scored for Minnesota, which has lost three of four as it grapples with significant injuries. Filip Gustavsson stopped 31 shots. Boldy scored his 17th goal of the season on the power play 3:02 into the game, and Rossi added another power-play tally for his 17th to make it 2-0 in the first period. However, the Oilers erased the deficit before the end of the first when McDavid scored his first on the power play. Minnesota lost forward Marcus Johansson in the second period after he took an elbow to the face from McDavid. No penalty was called on the play. Hyman's goal came just 21 seconds after Minnesota had taken a two-goal lead, proving crucial in turning the momentum. McDavid passed Jari Kurri for second all-time in points in Edmonton history. The three-time Hart Trophy winner for league MVP and five-time scoring champion now has 1,044 points, trailing only Wayne Gretzky (1,669) on the franchise list. The Oilers visit Colorado on Thursday, and the Wild play at Nashville on Saturday
