Zach Hyman and Leon Draisaitl each had two goals, and Evander Kane scored in his Edmonton debut, leading the Oilers to a 7-2 win over the struggling Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Derek Ryan also scored for Edmonton. Hyman and Nugent-Hopkins had an assist apiece, while Duncan Keith and Warren Foegele each had two assists.

Stuart Skinner made 21 saves to help the Oilers win their fourth straight.

All four lines contributed goals for the Oilers, most notably the third line composed of Hyman, Nugent-Hopkins and Zack Kassian with three.

"Hyman had a really strong game," Oilers coach Dave Tippett said. "We talked to them about trying to give us a little more depth and that line is a line that can play against anybody. Big, small, skilled, unskilled, they’re just a good line and they showed it tonight."

Josh Anderson and Tyler Toffoli scored for Montreal in its fifth straight loss. Samuel Montembeault allowed six goals on 16 shots before being pulled after two periods. Cayden Primeau had seven saves in the third.

"I liked the way we reacted in the second period but every time we scored they came back with a goal. I don’t think we gave up," Canadiens coach Dominique Ducharme said.

The Oilers scored first for the first time in 12 games, and they scored three in less than two minutes.

It took Kane 11:21 to score his first goal
