Zach Hyman and Leon Draisaitl each had a goal and an assist as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 5-1 on Wednesday despite the absence of star forward Connor McDavid.
“When you’re missing the best player in the world you don’t try to replace him,” Hyman said. “Everyone as a group has to step up and play better, and collectively I thought it was one of our better games of the season. Everyone on the same page.
The Oilers hit 100 points in the standings in a third consecutive season for the second time in franchise history. They hit the century mark six times in a row from 1981-82 to 1986-87.Corey Perry McDavid missed the game with a lower-body injury but is considered day-to-day. He's stuck at 99 assists on the season, needing only one more to become just the fourth player in NHL history to hit 100.“Right now, our game’s nowhere where we need to be, and even if we were to get in it might be a quick bounce for us out of there,” Kolesar said.. “We've got to start playing like we want to be in it and we need more than just a couple guys every night.
