· National Hockey LeagueDraisaitl scores twice, assists another to lead Oilers to 5-1 win over Predators
Viktor Arvidsson, Corey Perry and Zach Hyman also scored, and Calvin Pickard made 26 saves for the Oilers, who have won three of their last four.

Filip Forsberg scored, and Juuse Saros made 24 saves for the Predators.
Playing in his first career NHL game, Edmonton’s Noah Philp picked up the secondary assist on Perry’s first-period goal for his first NHL point.
