CALGARY, AB – Connor McDavid recorded a goal to extend his point streak to 12 games, but the Edmonton Oilers came up short in the second straight meeting with the Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Saddledome, falling 3-2 to their provincial rivals in the rematch of the Battle of Alberta on Saturday night.
Evan Bouchard tied things up in the first period on the power play with his seventh goal of the season only 1:36 after Yegor Sharangovich gave the Flames a 1-0 lead in the first period, but after timely goals from Ryan Lomberg and Blake Coleman, McDavid’s 24th tally of the campaign wound up being consolation.
McDavid’s goal extended the captain’s point streak to 12 games, totalling 13 goals and 19 assists, while Leon Draisaitl was able to push his own point streak to six games (3G, 10A) with an assist on Bouchard’s power-play marker in the opening frame.
Goaltender Connor Ingram played well in his third straight start, but was handed the loss after stopping 29 of 32 shots.
The Oilers will continue their two-game road trip against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night.
