Mattias Ekholm<\/a> also scored, Leon Draisaitl<\/a> had two assists, and Stuart Skinner<\/a> made 27 saves for the Oilers (14-11-6), who finished a five-game homestand (3-1-1).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s massive. It\u2019s an insanely competitive league, every team is finding ways to win and climbing up the ladder in the standings,\u201d Skinner said. \u201cFor us to get a few wins here was really important. Especially on a homestand, you want to bank as many as you can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simon Edvinsson<\/a> scored, and Cam Talbot<\/a> made 25 saves for the Red Wings (17-12-3), who came in with points in their previous six games (4-0-2), including a 4-3 win at the Calgary Flames on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we came to play. I actually think \u2013 this is going to sound strange \u2013 I think this is one of our better played games on the trip,\u201d Red Wings coach Todd McLellan said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t scramble around quite as much, yet when you look at it from an offensive perspective, probably not enough in and around the net, the net intensity.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we missed the net and had so many blocked that there wasn\u2019t a lot of reward for going to the net. So, that was disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyman put Edmonton ahead 1-0 on the power play at 14:25 of the first period. It was a tic-tac-toe play where McDavid took one cross-crease pass from Draisaitl and sent another right back across to Hyman for an easy tap-in into an open net behind Talbot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose are special players, Connor willed his team to a win tonight,\u201d said Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s going to happen coming off a back-to-back into this building if you\u2019re not on your toes, you\u2019re not ready, you don\u2019t know where he is on the ice, he\u2019s going to make you pay.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he made us pay tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ekholm made it 2-0 at 2:46 of the second period, sending a point shot in off the glove of Talbot.<\/p>\n

Edvinsson closed it to 2-1 at 5:41 as the trailer on an odd-man rush, taking a pass into the slot from Nate Danielson<\/a> and beating Skinner high glove side.<\/p>\n

Edvinsson was questionable to play Thursday after having blocked a shot and left after the second period Wednesday against the Flames.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just got a pass from Marco Kasper<\/a> in the mid-zone and I was trying to get it out to \u2018Dani\u2019, and he found Simon for a goal. So, that was nice,\u201d said Elmer Soderblom<\/a>, who also assisted on Edvinsson’s goal. \u201cIt felt like we started off hot, had good chances in the beginning. If we score on some of those it\u2019s a different game.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I felt we were solid at the start of the game. We took some penalties, they\u2019re a good team, too. It was a tough loss.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyman extended the lead to 3-1 at 17:48. McDavid reached up to haul down a deflected puck before sending a no-look, through-the-legs back pass from the right side of the net out front to a waiting Hyman, who put it past Talbot\u2019s blocker.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s playing well, obviously, it was a big night for him, playing well, scoring three. It\u2019s great for his confidence, for him to start feeling good, it\u2019s important,\u201d McDavid said. \u201cIt\u2019s my job to be an impact player in the game and to help move the needle for us and to generate chances.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a good homestand for our line. It was nice to play with those two, a line that we\u2019re really comfortable with, all three guys are comfortable playing together and it was nice to be back with those two.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mattias Ekholm also scored, Leon Draisaitl had two assists, and Stuart Skinner made 27 saves for the Oilers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":340115,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-340114","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340114","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340114"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340114\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/340115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340114"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=340114"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=340114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
