Nugent-Hopkins, McDavid score twice as Oilers down Golden Knights 8-2
EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers finally found their offensive touch.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid each had a pair of goals as the Oilers exploded for an 8-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday. The Oilers came into the game with the fewest goals scored in the NHL.
“It is definitely good for the confidence of the group,” Nugent-Hopkins said. “We kind of put everything together tonight and things went well for us. We can’t get away from that now.”
Oscar Klefbom, Patrick Maroon, Matt Benning and Mark Letestu also scored for the Oilers (7-9-2), who snapped a two-game losing skid.
