EDMONTON, Alberta -- Jesse Puljujarvi had a goal and two assists, Patrick Maroon scored twice and the Edmonton Oilers had a strong showing in their return from a weeklong break, defeating the Vancouver Canucks 5-2 on Saturday night.
Jujhar Khaira and Leon Draisaitl also scored for the Oilers, who have won three in a row.
Daniel Sedin and Brandon Sutter had the goals for the Canucks, who won their previous two games.
Edmonton scored on the first shot of the game 1:25 in when Maroon made a steal in the Vancouver zone and dished off to Connor McDavid, who promptly sent the puck back to Maroon for an easy tap-in past Canucks goalie Jacob Markstrom for his 12th of the season.
