SEATTLE (AP) — Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman had a goal and an assist to lead the Edmonton Oilers to a 4-0 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Saturday.
The Oilers bounced back nicely from an 8-3 loss to the Dallas Stars on Tuesday in Edmonton.
Stuart Skinner made 26 saves in his second shutout of the season.
Joey Daccord stopped 21 Kraken shots, including eight in the first four minutes of the game. Seattle has lost three games in a row, two by shutouts.
Nugent-Hopkins gave Edmonton the lead with a power-play goal with 8:41 left in the first period, converting Evan Bouchard's pass through the left side of the net for his sixth time of the year.
Draisaitl scored with 7:30 left in the second with a high shot. It was his 15th game of the season and extended his hitting streak to eight games.
Then, with the Oilers on the power play, Draisaitl made a pass from the right circle that bounced off the back of Hyman's stick at the top of the box. The puck slipped past Daccord with 1:09 before Hyman could turn and see his first goal of the year.
McDavid added his 11th goal at 6:25 of the third.
The Kraken went 0-for-6 on the power play. That included a 5-on-3 advantage at 1:45 late in the first period with Brett Kulak in the box for high sticking and McDavid serving the secondary bench for too many players on the ice.
Edmonton capitalized on both power play opportunities.
