Edmonton Oilers<\/a> forwards Connor McDavid<\/a> and Leon Draisaitl<\/a> both exploded for five-point nights on Thursday in a 6-5 shootout victory over the Carolina Hurricanes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both players finished the game with two goals and three assists, with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins<\/a> providing the other goal for the Oilers.<\/p>\n

With his outing, McDavid became the second player in NHL history to record three five-point outings in the first 10 games of a season, joining Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux who accomplished the feat in 1992-93 and 1988-89.<\/p>\n

Draisaitl scored both of his markers on the power play and now has 10 goals on the season. The three helpers increased his points total to 21 on the campaign.<\/p>\n

McDavid found the net twice in the third period, with his second marker tying the game at 5-5 with less than a minute and a half left in regulation, forcing the game into overtime.<\/p>\n

The Oilers captain now has eight goals and 23 assists on the season, as he leads the early race for the Art Ross Trophy.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, McDavid became the fastest player in NHL history to reach 20 assists, when he hit that plateau in his ninth game of the season.<\/p>\n

He surpassed the mark jointly held by Hall of Famers Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky and Pat LaFontaine who all collected 20 assists in 10 games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Edmonton Oilers forwards Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl both exploded for five-point nights on Thursday in a 6-5…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":943076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194294],"tags":[712,49,48,79553,23752,79560,87937],"class_list":["post-943075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-edmonton","tag-apple-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-connor-mcdavid-sports-hockey-player-player-nhl-api-8478402","tag-edmonton","tag-edmonton-oilers-sports-hockey-team-team-nhl-api-22","tag-leon-draisaitl-sports-hockey-player-player-nhl-api-8477934"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943075","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=943075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943075\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/943076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=943075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=943075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=943075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
