CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists for the Edmonton Oilers in a 4-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Sunday.

Zach Hyman, Jeff Skinner and Mattias Janmark, in an empty net, scored for the Oilers (6-5-1), who have won four of their last five games. Edmonton goaltender Stuart Skinner stopped 29 shots in the victory.

Draisaitl lifted a backhand over Dan Vladar’s glove just 20 seconds after the opening faceoff. Skinner made it 2-0 for the visitors at 8:12 on a second effort.

Calgary’s Anthony Mantha redirected a Tyson Barrie shot past Skinner at 4:33 of the second period, and Yegor Sharangovich tied it at 2 for the Flames (6-5-1) at 4:28 of the third with a shot in traffic.

Hyman scored on the second of Edmonton’s three power play opportunities in the third period with a backhander on Vladar with 9:50 left, and Janmark scored into an empty net with a few ticks to play.

Edmonton was without Connor McDavid, who is expected to return to the Oilers lineup later this month.

Takeaways

Oilers: Edmonton’s power play, which has been slow this season, led to Hyman’s game-winning goal.

Flames: The Flames couldn’t handle the Oilers’ speed and were down two goals early before generating sustained pressure in the offensive zone.

Key moment

Calgary’s too-many penalty with 2:18 left hurt the Flames’ chances of sending the game to overtime.

Key statistic

Draisaitl has five goals and three assists in the last four away games and two goals and four assists in the two games since McDavid was injured. Draisaitl has averaged a point per game in 56 career games without McDavid since the latter was drafted first overall by Edmonton in 2015.

To be continued

The Oilers host the Devils on Monday and the Flames begin a three-game road trip in Montreal on Tuesday.
