Leon Draisaitl scored three goals to reach 50 for the season, Connor McDavid had a goal and an assist and the Edmonton Oilers beat the visiting Anaheim Ducks 6-0 on Saturday night to clinch their fourth straight playoff berth.

Zach Hyman also had a goal and an assist, and Darnell Nurse also scored, and Mattias Ekholm had two assists to help Edmonton win its fourth straight and earn at least a point for the 10th straight game (9-0-1).

Jack Campbell stopped 36 shots for his 10th career shutout —first since last April 26 against Detroit. John Gibson was pulled in the third period after giving up five goals on 36 shots for Anaheim, which has lost eight straight and 10 of 11 (1-9-1).

Lukas Dostal came on and finished with eight saves. Ryan Strome had Campbell cleanly beat 3 1/2 minutes in, but hit the post.
