Perry made it 2-0 with 4:31 left in the second when he deposited a centering pass from Leon Draisaitl.

Aho's power-play goal came 4:26 into the third period.

Takeaways Oilers: Desperation mode served Edmonton well. The Oilers had lost four straight on the road after the league break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. It was their first win in Raleigh since Feb. 16, 2020. Draisaitl’s goal streak ended at seven games but the assist extends his points streak to 11 games (nine goals, six assists).

Key moment The Hurricanes had three power-play opportunities in the first period but couldn’t convert on any and gave up the short-handed goal to Henrique.
