Connor McDavid had two goals and an assist, and Evan Bouchard and Leon Draisaitl each had a goal and two assists in the Edmonton Oilers’ 5-2 road win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.

The Oilers are 4-1-1 in their last six games, and 6-3-1 in 10 away games this season.

McDavid and Draisaitl each recorded their fifth multi-point performance in their last six games. McDavid has 14 points (six goals, eight assists) during the hot stretch, while Draisaitl has 11 points (five goals, six assists).

Bouchard matched a career best with three points in the game. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored Edmonton’s other goal, and Vasily Podkolzin recorded two assists.

Stuart Skinner stopped 27 of 29 shots for his sixth win of the season.

Linus Ullmark stopped 27 of 32 shots for the Senators, who are on a three-game winless streak (0-2-1).

Tim Stutzle and Josh Norris scored for Ottawa, and Nick Jensen had two assists.

In order to spark Edmonton’s slumping offense, Draisaitl and Podkolzin were moved onto the top line with McDavid. The line change delivered immediate dividends, as Podkolzin and Draisaitl received assists on Bouchard’s goal 3:46 into the first period.

Bouchard did most of the work, however, as the defenseman started his rush in front of his own net. Bouchard raced up the center of the ice, made a canny move to evade Thomas Chabot and then put the puck under the crossbar for the highlight-reel goal.

Stutzle equalized for the Senators at 15:40 of the first period, but McDavid buried a rebound to restore the Oilers’ lead just 35 seconds later.

Ottawa ran into penalty trouble late in the first period, leading to a 5-on-3 power play for the Oilers and McDavid’s next goal. With 41 seconds remaining until the first intermission, McDavid converted a well-placed wrist shot for the power-play marker to make it 3-1.

At 4:39 of the second period, Draisaitl collected his 14th goal of the season by scoring on a nice backhanded shot.

Nugent-Hopkins tipped in an insurance goal at 11:50 of the third period, and Norris scored a late goal at the 17:36 mark.
