NHL News: Oilers score 4 goals in third to pull away from Canucks

Connor McDavid had a goal and two assists and Connor Brown scored two goals in the third period as the Edmonton Oilers rolled past the host Vancouver Canucks 7-3 on Saturday to snap a two-game skid.

Leon Draisaitl had a goal and an assist and Mattias Janmark had three assists for the Oilers. Brett Kulak, Viktor Arvidsson and Corey Perry also scored and Stuart Skinner stopped 17 shots for the Oilers, who broke the game open with four goals in the third period.

Elias Pettersson, Pius Suter and Filip Hronek scored for Vancouver, which had its three-game winning streak halted. Goaltender Kevin Lankinen stopped 20 of 27 shots before he was replaced in the third by Arturs Silovs, who made four stops.

Draisaitl opened the scoring at 2:48 of the first period by getting a loose puck and lifting it into the top half of the net during a goal-mouth scramble.

Perry made it 2-0 at 3:30 of the second, finishing a series of quick passes that left him with an empty net.

Arvidsson extended the lead to 3-0 at 4:43, snapping a low wrist shot from the slot that beat Lankinen to the stick side.

The Canucks rallied with back-to-back goals by Pettersson and Hronek in less than two minutes of the second period to make it 3-2.

But the Oilers came out firing in the third period, scoring three goals in just under two minutes to break open the game.

Brown restored the Oilers’ two-goal lead at 6:10. The puck pinballed through the crease to Brown, who got a couple of swipes at it before jamming it home from the side of the net.

McDavid then swatted a bouncing puck in on the power play to make it 5-2, at 7:16 and Kulak threaded it through the legs of Lankinen to make it 6-2 at 8:08.

Brown scored his second of the period at 11:05 to chase Lankinen from the net, and Suter rounded out the scoring for the Canucks with less than a minute to go.

The Canucks were missing their top goal scorer Brock Boeser, who is out indefinitely with a possible concussion after taking a blindside hit Thursday from Los Angeles Kings Tanner Jeannot, who was suspended for three games.
