Connor Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 24 shots before being replaced by David Rittich (seven saves) to start the third period. Axel Jonsson-Fjallby had a goal and an assist for the Jets, who have lost seven of eight (1-6-1).

Draisaitl struck on an early power play to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead. After McDavid sent a pass from the left circle into the slot, Nugent-Hopkins picked up the loose puck and quickly dished over to Draisaitl for a one-timer from the goal line at 2:06 of the first period.

Nugent-Hopkins made it 2-0 at 1:44 of the second period when he intercepted defenseman Dylan DeMelo’s pass in the Jets’ zone and skated into the slot for his 29th of the season, setting a career high.

Winnipeg had a chance to get on the board midway through the frame on a 2-on-1 but Nugent-Hopkins got his stick out to break up Nikolaj Ehler’s pass for Nino Niederreiter.

Seconds later, the Oilers capitalized, with Nugent-Hopkins springing Yamamoto for a breakaway to push the lead to 3-0 at 9:18.

Yamamoto scored again 40 seconds later to extend it to 4-0. A pinching Brett Kulak sent a pass into the slot that hit the skate of teammate Klim Kostin and bounced to Yamamoto at 9:58.

Nugent-Hopkins scored on the power play off a feed from McDavid at 2:26 of the third period.

Jonsson-Fjallby connected from the bottom of the right circle to make it 5-1 at 6:22.

Mark Scheifele cut it to 6-2 on the power play at 11:49 and Brenden Dillon brought Winnipeg to within 6-3 at 12:55.
