TORONTO (AP) — Connor McDavid had two goals and an assist and Tristan Jarry made 25 saves in his first game for Edmonton, helping the Oilers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-3 on Saturday night.
Vasily Podkolzin also scored twice, Darnell Nurse and Zach Hyman added goals and Leon Draisaitl had three assists to reach 999 career points. Edmonton is 6-2-1 in its last nine and 15-11-6 overall.
Jarry and defenseman Spencer Stastney made their Oilers debuts. Jarry was acquired from Pittsburgh on Friday in a five-player deal that sent fellow goalie Stuart Skinner and defender Brett Kulak to the Penguins. Stastney was added in a deal with Nashville.
Steven Lorentz, Easton Cowan and Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored for Toronto. Dennis Hildeby allowed all six goals on 32 shots before getting pulled. Artur Akhtyamov — Toronto’s fifth goalie to see action 32 games into the season — made four saves in relief in his first NHL action.
Toronto lost in regulation for the first time since Nov. 28 after going 4-0-2 over its last six.
McDavid tied it at 2 in the second period with his second goal of the game when Maple Leafs defenseman Troy Stecher accidentally put the puck in his own net.
