Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers bulldozed the Kraken with four goals in the first ten minutes of the game en route to a 7-2 Seattle loss on Friday night. FOX13
McDavid – the NHL's leading scorer – had a goal and four assists on the night as he moved 15 points clear of teammate Leon Draisaitl for the league's scoring lead. Draisaitl didn't even play against the Kraken due to an injury.McDavid now has 72 points on the season. Draisaitl has 57 and Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars is at 52.
With Vince Dunn crashing down in the offensive zone, the Oilers sprung a 3-on-2 break the opposite way with Darnell Nurse getting a clean look from the top of the circles and beating Grubauer blocker side to make it a 3-0 game. The Kraken tried to up their intensity a bit in the second period as they laid more hits and checked harder. Dunn had a strong first shift with a pair of good defensive plays before he got into a fight with Dylan Holloway that ended with Dunn dropping Holloway with a right hook.
But Kostin would get his second goal of the night as he deflected a shot from Nurse between the legs of Jones to make it a 5-1 Oilers lead. Then with Edmonton on the power play following a holding call on Alex Wennberg, Hyman picked up his second backdoor power play goal of the night as he redirected a McDavid shot into the net for a 6-1 lead.
"He's the best player in the world for a reason," said Larsson, who was teammates previously with McDavid in Edmonton. "He's hard to stop. We can do a lot better job stopping him but when you give him time and space, he's going to make you look stupid most of the time.""There's nothing constructive we're going to talk about tonight," Hakstol said.
