EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) \u2014 Connor McDavid<\/a> had a goal and two assists to regain the NHL<\/a> scoring lead as the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> made a move up the Pacific Division standings, holding on to defeat the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> 4-2 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Zach Hyman<\/a> had a goal and an assist and Jack Roslovic<\/a> and Matt Savoie<\/a> also scored for the Oilers, who won their third game in a row and moved three points back of the division-leading Ducks.<\/p>\n

The Oilers went 1-9-2 in their previous 12 attempts to win more than two straight.<\/p>\n

Edmonton is now 27-5-5 when scoring first this season.<\/p>\n

The Oilers remained without star forward Leon Draisaitl<\/a>, out for the rest of the regular season with a lower body injury.<\/p>\n

Beckett Sennecke<\/a> and Cutter Gauthier<\/a> scored for the Ducks, who had a four-game winning streak halted.<\/p>\n

Connor Ingram<\/a> recorded 29 saves to earn the win in the Edmonton net, while Lukas Dostal<\/a> made 30 stops for Anaheim.<\/p>\n

Evan Bouchard<\/a> picked up a pair of assists for the Oilers to extend his points streak against the Ducks to 11 games. The 26-year-old leads all NHL defensemen with 86 points and looks poised to become the 13th blueliner in league history to hit the 90-point plateau.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Ducks: Return home to face the Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

Oilers: Host the Seattle Kraken<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
