McMann, Holmberg help Leafs down Oilers 6-3; McDavid registers three more assists

TORONTO — Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews were front and centre on the marquee heading into Saturday.

Two superstars redefining their sport poised for a mouth-watering matchup.

A couple of Toronto's depth players took centre stage instead.

Bobby McMann scored twice as part of a three-point night and Pontus Holmberg had two goals of his own as the Maple Leafs built a big lead before some nervy moments late on the way to topping Connor McDavid's Edmonton Oilers 6-3.

"Team effort," said McMann, who has gone from healthy scratch to indispensable lineup piece in just over a month.
