NEW YORK, NY \u2013 The world’s most famous arena couldn’t stop us on the road.<\/p>\n
Matt\u00a0Tomkins made 28 saves for his first win in Blue & Orange in his club debut, while Colton Dach posted his first career two-goal game, and Evan Bouchard had a goal & two assists as the Edmonton Oilers secured their seventh straight road victory on Sunday with a 4-1 win over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n
“There’s nothing better than winning on the road, honestly,” Connor McDavid said. “Our team loves it. Coming into a tough building on a back-to-back against a rested team, these are the ones that you thrive in, and you want to dig in and find a way to get one. Tonight was a big one.”<\/p>\n
The Oilers captain continued his historic start to the season with a goal & an assist, scoring a fantastic opener only 50 seconds into the first period before extending his NHL record season-opening assist streak to 15 games (30A) with the helper on Evan Bouchard’s power-play goal that made it 3-0 in the middle frame.<\/p>\n
McDavid leads the NHL with nine goals & 30 assists in 15 games, trailed by his teammates\u00a0Draisaitl (28), who had two assists, and Bouchard (26), rounding out the League’s current top three in scoring.<\/p>\n
“It’s actually been really fun to have things so new here in Edmonton,” McDavid added. “It’s been really fun to just dive in and just sink your teeth into a new system, a new kind of way of playing, and it’s kind of left my own [success] secondary just trying to take care of the things that I need to do within the system. Those things have been happening, and it’s just been a byproduct of everybody playing.<\/p>\n
“When the team is winning games, individual stuff happens like that, and definitely, I’ve been the beneficiary of some great team play.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK, NY \u2013 The world’s most famous arena couldn’t stop us on the road.
