Patrick Maroon scored twice, Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists and Connor McDavid added three assists as the host Edmonton Oilers beat the Boston Bruins 7-4 on Thursday night.
Benoit Pouliot, Anton Slepyshev, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Milan Lucic also scored for the Oilers, whose second consecutive seven-goal outing moved them one point ahead of the Flames for third place in the Pacific Division.
“We can’t expect to keep doing that,” McDavid said about the recent scoring. “It’s good that we are finding ways to create offense, but we also gave up a lot of chances tonight.
