Reunited: Draisaitl and McDavid combine to power Oilers past Canadiens 6-2
EDMONTON — Tinkering with the top line paid dividends for the Oilers on Tuesday.
Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists and Connor McDavid had three assists in their reunion as linemates as the Oilers snapped a season-high four-game losing streak with a 6-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens.
“Leon probably could have won the scoring race tonight, alone, had he found a way to finish on some of his opportunities,” quipped Oilers head coach Todd McLellan. “Connor, Leon, Drake (Caggiula), a real good night there. They shared the puck well.”
Caggiula, who also scored, said that McDavid in particular looked like he had more than enough of their losing skid.
