McDavid scores twice in win over Flames; Leafs down Habs in NHL exhibition play

EDMONTON -- Connor McDavid picked up where he left off, scoring two goals to pace the Edmonton Oilers to a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames in NHL exhibition play Tuesday.

Kailer Yamamoto and Patrick Russell also scored for the Oilers while Elias Lindholm replied for Calgary in a game played before thousands of empty seats at Rogers Place.

The arena has been locked down to prevent any spread of COVID-19 as Edmonton hosts the Western Conference play-in/play-off series to finish the 2019-20 season.

"I liked our first period, didn't like our second and I thought we responded well in the third," said McDavid post-game.
