Edmonton Oilers drill Ducks 6-1

The Edmonton Oilers continued their dominance of the Anaheim Ducks with a 6-1 victory Saturday afternoon at Rogers Place.

The Oilers have won 10 of their last 11 meetings the the Ducks, outscoring them 63-24.

Former Duck Adam Henrique opened the scoring 3:47 into the afternoon when he slid in his own rebound after taking a pass from Leon Draisaitl. Connor McDavid scored an electrifying goal, blazing away from the Ducks final line of defence and roofing a forehand past John Gibson.

A couple of minutes later, Mattias Ekholm sizzled home a point shot to make it 3-0 Oilers.

McDavid converted a pass from Draisaitl for a power play midway through the second. Warren Foegele beat Gibson between the legs on a breakaway to put the Oilers up 5-0.

Zach Hyman notched his 52nd in the third by one-timing a pass from McDavid. Alex Killorn scored a late power play goal for Anaheim.

Calvin Pickard earned the win in net with 21 saves.

Ekholm had a goal and two assists and was +5.

The Oilers played most of the game with five defencemen as Brett Kulak left the game with an injury after playing only one shift. Cody Ceci missed the game with an illness and was replaced by Troy Stecher.

The Oilers, 45-23-4, will visit the St. Louis Blues on Monday (630 CHED, Face-off Show at 5:30 p.m., game at 7 p.m.).
