Oilers beat Devils 3-2 in OT in Taylor Hall’s return to Edmonton
EDMONTON — It was Taylor Hall’s return to Edmonton, but the night belonged to Leon Draisaitl.
Draisaitl scored in overtime and added two assists as the Oilers snapped a two-game losing skid with a 3-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday.
Connor McDavid earned his second assist of the game and his 50th point of the season, setting up a Draisaitl one-timer on a two-on-one just 1:50 into the extra period.
“With him you always have to be ready,” Draisaitl said of the overtime pass from McDavid, who turns 20 on Friday. “He can make things happen out of nothing. What a nice pass. It was pretty easy to tap that one in.
