Leon Draisaitl had a goal and four assists to help the host Edmonton Oilers to a fifth straight win, 7-4 against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday.

Connor McDavid had two goals and two assists, Evander Kane had a hat trick and Jack Campbell made 19 saves for the Oilers.

Filip Forsberg had a goal and two assists, while Mikael Granlund and Matt Duchene had two assists apiece for the Predators, who are 1-6-1 in their past eight games. Juuse Saros made 30 saves.

Mattias Ekholm gave Nashville a 1-0 lead 34 seconds into the first period. Duchene’s pass attempt hit the skate of Oilers defenseman Cody Ceci and redirected to the front of the net. Campbell made the save but Ekholm was there to tap in the rebound.

Duchene’s assist was the 400th of his NHL career.

Kane tied it 1-1 at 4:14. Draisaitl drove down the right wing before dishing a cross-ice backhand feed from the half wall to Kane, who cut to the net before sweeping a backhand by Saros.

They connected again to put Edmonton ahead 2-1 at 7:25, with Draisaitl sending a one-touch pass from the corner to Kane in the slot.

McDavid struck from the right circle 26 seconds later to push it to 3-1, becoming the first player this season to reach double-digit goals.

That prompted Predators coach John Hynes to call a timeout.

Derek Ryan extended it to 4-1 at 14:58 from the side of the net.

McDavid put one home in the top corner of the short side from the inner left circle on the power play to make it 5-1 at 7:26 of the second period.

Nashville got one back on the power play at 9:28 when Johansen redirected Roman Josi’s shot in the slot to narrow it to 5-2.

Forsberg cut it to 5-3 on a one-timer from the left circle at 4:51 of the third period.

Draisaitl made it 6-3 with a one-timer on the power play at 8:55.

Nino Niederreiter converted on the power play to tighten it to 6-4 at 17:10.

Kane scored into an empty net at 18:23 to complete the hat trick and seal the 7-4 final.

Roope Hintz had two goals and an assist for the Dallas Stars in a 5-2 win against the visiting Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.

Jason Robertson had a goal and two assists, Tyler Seguin and Joe Pavelski also scored and Scott Wedgewood made 30 saves for the Stars, who scored three goals in a 90-second span of the second period to break open a tied game.

Kevin Fiala and Arthur Kaliyev scored, and Cal Petersen made 35 saves for the Kings, who were coming off a 5-1 win at the St. Louis Blues on Monday night.

The Stars went 3-for-4 on the power play.

Robertson began the 90-second barrage with a power-play goal at 9:01 that gave Dallas a 2-1 lead.

Seguin scored on a wrist shot while cutting into the slot to make it 3-1 at 10:17, and Hintz scored 14 seconds later to make it 4-1.

Kaliyev cut the lead to 4-2 when he scored on a power play at 14:37, but the Stars re-established their three-goal lead when Pavelski scored the third power-play goal of the game to make it 5-2 with 1:23 left in the second period.

Jamie Benn and Miro Heiskanen each had two assists for Dallas.

Fiala was in the penalty box for tripping Pavelski when Hintz scored on a one-timer from the left faceoff dot for a 1-0 lead at 6:49 of the first period.

Peterson made a save on a breakaway by Ty Dellandrea with 6:01 remaining in the first period to keep it a one-goal game at the intermission.

Brock Nelson scored a goal and had an assist Tuesday night for the visiting New York Islanders, who continued their surge with a 3-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.

Anders Lee poked home a shot by Nelson in the first period and Zach Parise added an empty-netter with 13.1 seconds left in the third for the Islanders, who have won four straight. New York goalie Ilya Sorokin made 21 saves.

Jonathan Toews scored in the third period for the Blackhawks, who have lost four straight (0-2-2). Backup goalie Arvid Soderblom recorded 28 saves in relief of Alex Stalock, who stopped two shots before exiting following a collision with Islanders right winger Casey Cizikas 2:56 into the first.

Stalock turned back a point-blank backhand shot by Cizikas, who crashed into Stalock’s head before the goalie fell back and appeared to hit his neck on the right post as the net came off its moorings.

The goalie remained motionless on the ice before being helped to the locker room. Cizikas was initially assigned a five-minute major penalty for interference before eventually receiving a game misconduct and getting ejected.

The remainder of the first period was increasingly chippy. The Blackhawks were whistled for three penalties, including a goalie interference call on Andreas Athanasiou for interfering with Sorokin.

The Islanders took advantage of their third power play — generated when Jason Dickinson was penalized for cross-checking Nelson — to take the lead late in the period. Soderblom turned back a shot by Kyle Palmieri, but Chicago defenseman Jake McCabe slipped as he tried to clear the puck. Nelson’s shot went beneath the prone goalie and the puck trickled toward the goal line before Lee poked it across.

An impressive individual effort by Nelson helped the Islanders double their lead early in the third. Ross Johnston sent a clearing pass down the ice following a lengthy battle in the New York zone, and Nelson outraced the Blackhawks’ Taylor Raddysh to collect the puck. Nelson skated up the right side and fired a shot over Soderblom’s glove at the 7:23 mark.

New York’s Cal Clutterbuck was whistled for interference to create the power play that led to Toews’ goal just beyond the midway point of the final period. Toews redirected Caleb Jones’ shot, which fluttered past Sorokin as he was screened by Raddysh and New York defenseman Scott Mayfield with 9:41 left.

The Blackhawks recorded a pair of shots after pulling Soderblom with about two minutes left before Parise iced the victory.

Kirill Kaprizov scored twice, Matt Boldy had a goal with an assist and Marc-Andre Fleury made 34 saves, as the Minnesota Wild beat the visiting Montreal Canadiens 4-1 on Tuesday night in Saint Paul, Minn.

Minnesota scored three times in the second period, with Kaprizov posting his seventh and eighth goals of the season, and Mason Shaw the second of his career. Boldy added an empty-netter as it improved to 2-3-0 at home on the young campaign.

Fleury, who turns 38 on Nov. 28, was solid most of the night, and particularly stout during the first period en route to his fourth straight winning start. He seemed headed for his 72nd career shutout until Montreal’s Nick Suzuki scored on the power play with 6:30 remaining in regulation.

Jake Allen stopped 27 shots for Montreal, which is 2-1-0 on a four-game trip. The Canadiens have lost 14 of the last 15 against the Wild, and nine straight at Minnesota, which won 3-1 at Montreal on Oct. 25.

Montreal was the aggressor for most of the first period, and recorded 15 official shots on goal. However, Fleury saved each one, as the teams went into the first intermission without a goal.

However, it was Minnesota that got going early in the second period, scoring on its second shot just 1:09 into the frame. Allen made the save on Joel Eriksson Ek’s shot, but the rebound was long enough for Shaw to pick up and convert his second goal in as many contests.

Nearly 2 1/2 minutes later, the Wild came through on the power play. Eriksson Ek started a play that concluded with Kaprizov deflecting in Boldy’s drive for a 2-0 lead. Kaprizov struck again with 5:05 remaining in the second when he pushed in Marco Rossi’s bouncer in front of Allen.

Kaprizov has six goals and 10 points during Minnesota’s five home games.

Meanwhile, Suzuki, who went short-side to beat Fleury, has goals in back-to-back games, and five on the season for Montreal.

Hampus Lindholm went coast-to-coast and scored from the left hash marks at 3:37 of overtime Tuesday as the visiting Boston Bruins erased a three-goal deficit to win their sixth straight, 6-5 over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Charlie Coyle, Brad Marchand, Jakub Lauko, Pavel Zacha and Taylor Hall also scored for the Bruins.

Boston goaltender Linus Ullmark allowed five goals on 18 shots before being pulled in the second.

Shea Theodore scored 1:35 into overtime as the Vegas Golden Knights rallied for their fifth consecutive victory, edging the host Washington Capitals 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Theodore cut to the net and took a pass from Jack Eichel in the slot and then fired a wrist shot past Capitals backup goaltender Charlie Lindgren for his third goal of the season. It was Theodore’s eighth career overtime goal, seven of which have come with the Golden Knights.

Eichel and William Carrier also scored goals and Alex Pietrangelo had three assists for Vegas. Logan Thompson finished with 19 saves for the Golden Knights, who were playing the first game of a five-game Eastern Conference road trip.

Marcus Johansson and Trevor van Riemsdyk scored goals and Dylan Strome added two assists for Washington. Lindgren stopped 28 of 31 shots for the Capitals, who were playing the second game of a back-to-back that began with a 3-2 shootout loss at Carolina on Monday.

Washington jumped out to a 1-0 lead at the 3:39 mark of the first period on a power-play goal by Johansson. Strome set the goal up with a short pass to the bottom of the left circle, where Johansson fired a one-timer over Thompson’s shoulder.

The Golden Knights tied it 1-1 near the end of the period on a power-play goal by Eichel, who ripped a wrist shot from the top of the right circle past Lindgren’s blocker side for his fifth goal of the season.

The Capitals regained the lead at the 1:01 mark of the second period on a wrist shot from the left point through traffic by van Riemsdyk. It was the first goal of the season for the Washington defenseman.

Carrier tied it 2-2 with 5:56 left in the third period with a wrist shot from the side of the left circle off the far post and in for his second goal of the season.

Washington nearly won it in dramatic fashion at the end of regulation, but Garnet Hathaway’s backhand shot went in about a second after time had expired.

Chris Kreider’s breakaway goal with 52.8 seconds left in overtime lifted the New York Rangers to a 1-0 victory over the visiting Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday.

After the teams were scoreless in regulation, Mika Zibanejad collected a loose puck in the Rangers’ end and flipped it to Kreider, who was streaking down the middle of the ice. Kreider took the pass and slipped a backhander past goalie Carter Hart for his fourth goal of the season.

Kreider’s goal extended the Rangers’ winning streak to three games and dealt the Flyers their third loss in the past four games, though the past two setbacks came in overtime.

Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin and Hart were solid, finishing with 19 and 35 saves, respectively. Hart, however, was much busier and benefited by the Rangers hitting the post four times.

The Rangers outshot the Flyers 36-19, including 30-19 in regulation. Kreider had a team-high seven shots, while Kaapo Kakko, Zibanejad and Adam Fox each had four apiece, with Zibanejad adding his seventh assist of the year.

Travis Konecny and Kevin Hayes each had a team-high four shots for the Flyers, while Justin Braun, Lukas Sedlak and Scott Laughton each had two.

Tony DeAngelo paced the Flyers in ice time at 25:44, while Fox logged a game-high 27:35 for the Rangers.

The Rangers and Flyers each went 0-for-3 on the power play.

New York controlled the first two periods, outshooting the Flyers 23-11, including 14-4 in the second period.

New York hit the post once in the first period and twice in the second, including Kreider striking iron on a breakaway while the Rangers were short-handed.

Midway through the third period, New York’s Alexis Lafreniere fired a low backhanded shot that skipped off the bottom of the post, keeping the game scoreless.

While the Rangers kept Hart busy, Shesterkin didn’t face many serious scoring threats in the first 40 minutes.

The Flyers continue their three-game road trip when they face the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday. The Rangers’ four-game homestand continues on Thursday against the Boston Bruins.

Nikita Kucherov scored the tiebreaking goal late in the third period Tuesday as the Tampa Bay Lightning opened their four-game homestand with a 4-3 comeback win over the Ottawa Senators.

With the teams locked in a 3-all tie, Kucherov — who also had two assists — one-timed a shot from the right circle off a feed from Mikhail Sergachev for the game-winning marker with 2:30 remaining.

Ottawa captain Brady Tkachuk missed a point-blank chance with one second to go as the visitors lost their third straight game, while Tampa Bay won its third consecutive.

Kucherov’s three-point showing stretched his point streak to eight games and helped his club win for the ninth time in the past 12 outings against Ottawa.

Sergachev and Brayden Point each had a goal and an assist and Alex Killorn also scored for the Lightning. Steven Stamkos had two assists and Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 12 shots.

The Lightning played without former Norris Trophy-winning defenseman Victor Hedman, who is listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

Ottawa’s Dylan Gambrell scored in his season debut but was later ejected. Mathieu Joseph and Claude Giroux tallied, and Anton Forsberg made 30 saves as Ottawa went 7-for-8 on the penalty kill.

In the first period, Lightning defenseman Nick Perbix sent a pass that bounced to Gambrell. The Ottawa center beat Vasilevskiy at 5:44 on the Senators’ first of three shots in the frame.

But Ottawa allowed the home side to cash in on its third power play at 3:17 of the second. Sergachev blasted home a shot for his second tally to tie it at 1.

Gambrell was ejected with a match penalty after a side hit on Erik Cernak struck the defenseman in the head. However, the Lightning could not take advantage of the five-minute major infraction, which included 95 seconds of a five-on-three advantage.

It got worse for the Lightning. Late in the two-man advantage, Joseph — who played three-plus seasons for Tampa Bay — won a race with Stamkos to a loose puck and scored short-handed on a breakaway at 12:21.

With 8:56 left in the match, Killorn netted his third goal to knot it at 2, but Tkachuk’s thievery of Vasilevskiy from behind the net allowed Giroux to notch his third of the season 40 seconds after Killorn’s.

Point streaked through the slot 1:11 later and tied it for a third time with his fifth tally.

Washington Capitals forward Connor Brown will be sidelined six to eight months after reconstructive knee surgery on his torn ACL.

Brown suffered the injury Oct. 17 against the Vancouver Canucks and was placed on injured reserve two days later. The team did not say when he had the surgery.

Brown, 28, was injured after taking a hit from Canucks defenseman Noah Juulsen along the boards. Brown headed straight to the dressing room limping and favoring his right leg.

Brown is in his first season with the Capitals, who acquired him from the Ottawa Senators in July for a second-round pick in the 2024 draft. Brown had 10 goals and 39 points in 64 games for Ottawa last season.

Brown played his first four NHL seasons for Toronto (2015-2019), where he had 43 goals and 99 points in 253 games. In the past three seasons with the Senators, he totaled 47 goals and 117 points in 191 games.

The Capitals also lost forward T.J. Oshie indefinitely with a lower-body injury, the team said Monday.

The Capitals are already playing without forwards Tom Wilson (knee) and Nicklas Backstrom (hip), who are also on IR. Forward Carl Hagelin (hip) is also out indefinitely.

New Jersey Devils forward Ondrej Palat underwent successful groin surgery Tuesday and is expected to make a full recovery.

The team said a timeline for his return would be provided at a later time, “as they become available.”

The Devils placed Palat on injured reserve Saturday. Palat had missed two games prior to the move with what the team called a lower-body injury.

Palat, 31, met with doctors Monday to make “a final determination” on next course of action.

Palat, who won back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Tampa Bay Lightning, signed a five-year, $30 million contract with the Devils in July.

Palat had three goals in six games this season.

The Lightning selected Palat in the seventh round of the 2011 NHL Draft. In 628 regular-season games for Tampa Bay, the Czech Republic native tallied 143 goals and 280 assists.

He also appeared in 138 playoff games for the Lightning, registering 94 points (48 goals, 46 assists). He has 12 career game-winning goals in the playoffs.
