McDavid's 3 point night leads Oilers past Stars

Connor McDavid had a goal and two assists as the Edmonton Oilers extended their win streak to three games with a 5-2 victory over the Dallas Stars on Wednesday.

Evander Kane, Derek Ryan, Zach Hyman and Jesse Puljujarvi also scored for the Oilers (45-26-6), who are 11-0-1 in their last 12 home games.

Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz replied for the Stars (43-29-5), who have lost three of their last four.

The Oilers got off to a quick start with a goal just 3:12 into the opening frame as McDavid sped up the ice before sending a backhand pass from behind the goal line to Kane, who sent his 17th of the season past Dallas goalie Scott Wedgewood.

Edmonton extended its lead three minutes later as a Ryan McLeod shot caromed off the bar to Ryan, who scored his first goal in 21 games.

Dallas ended Edmonton goalie Mike Smith's attempt to record a third consecutive shutout 11:39 into the first period. A bullet of a shot from Robertson hit the crossbar and went in for his 37th of the season.
