Anaheim Ducks Dominate Edmonton Oilers with Explosive First Period

Mason McTavish leads the charge with two goals as Anaheim scores four times in eight minutes to secure a 6-2 victory.

The Anaheim Ducks scored four goals in the final eight minutes of the first period, overwhelming the Edmonton Oilers en route to a 6-2 win.
Mason McTavish netted two goals, while Jackson LaCombe and Cutter Gauthier each recorded three assists for Anaheim.
Lukas Dostal made 33 saves in net for the Ducks, who are chasing a playoff spot and now sit six points behind the Calgary Flames for the final wild-card position.
Despite goals from Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, the Oilers have now lost six of their last seven games, struggling with defensive lapses and goaltending issues.
Edmonton made a three-team trade earlier in the day, acquiring Trent Frederic and Max Jones, but the team continues to face challenges in maintaining consistency.
