Warren Foegele notched his first career 5-point game Sunday night as the Edmonton Oilers beat the Anaheim Ducks 7-2.
It’s the fifth straight win for the Oilers, all of them on the road.
The Oilers took an early lead when Foegele set up Ryan McLeod for his seventh. Max Jones replied for the Ducks, sweeping a loose puck past Calvin Pickard. Evander Kane, back in action after missing Saturday’s game against Los Angeles, took advantage of a break to put the Oilers up 2-1 late in the first. The puck hit the referee behind the net allowing Kane to pounce on it and stuff it behind John Gibson.
The Oilers poured it on in the second board. Darnell Nurse snapped a cross-ice pass to Leon Draisaitl, who fired home a one-timer from a sharp angle. Nurse played set-up man again less than three minutes later with a slap pass to Foegele, who tapped in his sixth. Foegele struck again later in the second to make it 5-1.
Frank Vatrano notched one for the Ducks in the third. Zach Hyman replied with his 21st, scoring after being sent in on net by Connor McDavid. Brett Kulak added one more on a long slapper set up by Foegele.
Pickard earned the win with 28 saves.
The Oilers, 18-15-1, will host the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday (630 CHED, Face-off Show at 5:30 p.m., game at 7 p.m.).
