The AP Sports Writer, Jimmy Golen reports on the Edmonton Oilers’ 3-2 victory against the Boston Bruins, which saw Connor McDavid, the NHL scoring leader, limp off the ice after a knee-on-knee collision with a teammate, Derek Ryan. Although he returned to help the Oilers secure the win, he was held scoreless, as was Leon Draisaitl. The Oilers won for the fourth time in five games, with Stuart Skinner making 26 saves to snap Boston’s 10-game winning streak. Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak scored for the Bruins, who could have set an NHL record as the fastest-ever to 50 wins. Edmonton Oilers will visit Toronto next, while the Bruins will host Detroit.
