Maple Leafs rout Oilers 7-2 in Edmonton, Nylander scores 300th career goal
Toronto improved to 12-2-1 at Rogers Place since the Oilers' arena opened, extending its four-game winning streak behind a balanced scoring effort.
William Nylander scored twice, including the 300th goal of his career, as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Edmonton Oilers 7-2 on Saturday at Rogers Place. Jack Roslovic, Auston Matthews, Troy Stecher, Zack MacEwen and Vinni Lettieri also found the net for Toronto (7-4-2), which has now won four straight games.
Matthews, who needs one point to reach 800 for his career, extended his season-opening road point streak to five games alongside Kirill Marchenko, who added two assists. Goaltender Anthony Stolarz made 30 saves for the win, and Toronto's penalty kill stopped an opposition power play before Edmonton finally converted late in the game, snapping a 30-kill streak.
Edmonton's Connor McDavid recorded two assists to extend his season-starting points streak to 11 games and 33 points, while Leon Draisaitl scored twice for his third straight multi-goal game, giving him a league-leading 12 goals this season. Despite those individual performances, the Oilers (8-2-1) had their three-game winning streak snapped.
Oilers forward Zach Hyman said Toronto outplayed Edmonton in every area of the game. Nylander's milestone goal made him the fourth-fastest player in Maple Leafs history to reach 300, while MacEwen and Lettieri scored their first goals in over a year.
