Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl might be leading the way in terms of point-scoring, but the middle six had something to say about that on Saturday in what was the first of a back-to-back in New York.
The Edmonton Oilers defeated the New York Islanders 4-0 on Saturday to improve to 10-2-2 on the season, climbing to second overall in the NHL standings. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins led the offensive charge with two goals, while depth forwards Jason Dickinson and Vasily Podkolzin each added a goal to secure the victory.
Goaltender Tristan Jarry stopped all 18 shots faced to earn his second consecutive shutout, extending Edmonton's shutout streak to six straight periods. Connor McDavid also extended his season-opening point streak to 14 games, while Leon Draisaitl registered two assists in the winning effort.
