McDavid reaches 800-point milestone in Oilers' comeback victory over Flyers

It was another milestone night for Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.

McDavid had two goals and an assist to cross the 800-point mark as the Oilers snapped a four-game skid with a 4-2 comeback victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Edmonton won despite only mustering 10 shots through the first 40 minutes.

"You have to win games without your 'A' stuff," McDavid said. "It's cliche that good teams find a way to win when they don't have their stuff and that was tonight. We did just enough to get a win.

Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists to hit 700 career points and Tyson Barrie also scored for the Oilers (31-19-8), who have gone 10-1-5 in their last 16 games.

"At this time of year, no one really cares if it is pretty or not," Draisaitl said. "We had played two good periods the last two games — the first two — and then kind of blew it in the third. We will take the two points and move on.

"It is a good win, a good character win for our group."

WATCH | McDavid records 800th point, Draisaitl claims 700th on same play:

All-star goalie Stuart Skinner made 24 saves to pick up his first win since Jan. 21.

"It was massive," he said. "I am very happy we got the win. It feels like forever since I got a win, when I was in there. To have that feeling back, it feels really good.

"It was really nice feeling that the guys battled back for me and that we got the two points."

Noah Cates and Owen Tippett replied for the Flyers (23-26-10), who have lost five of their last six. Carter Hart stopped 23-of-26 shots in the loss.

WATCH | Oilers rally past Flyers:

"I thought the team laid it out there. They did all the things we asked of them, and we played a hard game. We just couldn't find a way to win," said Flyers
