I love watching the Edmonton Oilers win on Hockey Night in Canada, and last night’s 6-2 drubbing of the New York Rangers made it all the more special. Not only was it a much-needed result, but the Oilers will also head into their six-day break on a high note.

Connor McDavid had two goals and an assist for the Edmonton Oilers in a 6-2 win over the visiting New York Rangers on Saturday.

The Oilers are anticipating defenseman Darnell Nurse, who has been absent after Ryan Reaves' dirty headshot, to play on Saturday night.

Darnell Nurse should be back soon from injury, but was his injury and absence a red flag for the Edmonton Oilers?

Darnell Nurse, who played his first game back since being the victim of a scary headshot last weekend, was among the Oilers who impressed the most. The veteran defenceman looked better than ever as he sniped home a shorthanded goal in the first period courtesy of a beautiful assist from Mattias Janmark.
