Overview
- The Maple Leafs beat the Edmonton Oilers 7-2 at Rogers Place on Saturday to extend their winning streak to four, with Anthony Stolarz making 30 saves.
- William Nylander scored twice, including his 300th career goal, and contributions from Toronto’s top and fourth lines drove the late four-goal third period.
- Edmonton’s top duo kept producing despite the loss: Connor McDavid recorded two assists to push his points streak and Leon Draisaitl scored twice to extend a multi-game goal streak and his league-leading total.
- The Oilers are managing roster disruptions after placing goalie Devon Levi on injured reserve and starting Tristan Jarry against Toronto, while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had returned earlier in the week and scored a shootout winner in a win over Carolina.
- The game highlights early-season volatility: Toronto’s depth and special teams are translating into momentum, while Edmonton remains offensively dominant through a very small sample that could change with goaltending or lineup swings.
