Devils Drop Second Straight, Fall To Oilers 5-1

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) -- Leon Draisaitl and Taylor Hall each had a goal and two assists and the Edmonton Oilers beat the New Jersey Devils 5-1 on Friday night to snap a three-game losing streak.

Oscar Klefbom, Jordan Eberle and Mark Letestu also scored and the Oilers won for just the second time in seven outings.

The Devils lost their second in a row. Kyle Palmieri had their lone goal.

Edmonton started the scoring 7 minutes into the opening period when Hall made a terrific feed in front and Draisaitl was able to deflect the puck at full speed past goalie Keith Kinkaid. It was the seventh goal and 15th point in 10 games for the German-born forward. He also has 17 assists.

The Devils tied the game on the power play 6 minutes into the second period when Palmieri walked in and picked the top corner on Anders Nilsson.
