Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl each recorded a goal and an assist and Stuart Skinner recorded his second shutout of the season, leading the visiting Edmonton Oilers to a 4-0 win over the Seattle Kraken on Saturday.

Zach Hyman and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins contributed to the Oilers’ balanced attack, also finishing with a goal and an assist.

Skinner, who allowed 16 goals in his last four starts — including getting benched after one period in his previous start — made 26 saves, including 12 in the first period, helping the Oilers kill three early Kraken power plays.

McDavid, who has 25 assists this season, scored the team’s fourth and final goal midway through the third period. He has 12 multi-point games this season. McDavid recorded at least one point in 12 of the Oilers’ 14 games in November.

Nugent-Hopkins, who made his return against the Kraken after missing nine games with an undisclosed injury, got the scoring started with a power play goal 8:31 minutes into the game. He was assisted by Bouchard and McDavid on his sixth goal of the campaign.

In the second period, Draisaitl started to give the Oilers a cushion with his 15th goal of the season. Draisaitl scored seven goals in 15 games in November and recorded his ninth multi-point game of the campaign.

Hyman, who has four points in seven games this season, added the Oilers’ third goal, bouncing the puck off a skate and past Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord, who has lost five of his last six starts. It was Hyman’s first goal since Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals on May 25. He missed significant time with a wrist injury.

Daccord made 21 stops as Seattle held a 26-25 advantage in shots on frame.

The Kraken’s power play woes continued, going 0-for-6 on the man advantage. Seattle had a 5-on-3 opportunity in the first period that lasted a minute, 55 seconds, but failed to beat Skinner. The Kraken are 0-for-11 on the power play over their last two games. The Oilers, on the other hand, went 2-for-2 on the power play.

Jaden Schwartz, who leads the Kraken in goals (8) and points (15) this season, missed his first game this season with a lower-body injury. He is expected to be sidelined for approximately six weeks.

The Edmonton win avenged a 3-2 setback to Seattle on Oct. 25. The teams will reconvene in Edmonton on Dec. 4 and again north of the border on March 31.

Seattle has lost three consecutive games for the first time this season.
