McDavid, Draisaitl combine for 10 points in rout of Predators

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl put on a show during the Edmonton Oilers' 8-3 win over the Nashville Predators on Monday.

McDavid (one goal, four assists) and Draisaitl (four goals, one assist) combined for 10 points in the contest, and at least one of the stars was involved in each of Edmonton's eight markers on the night.

The two teams entered the third period tied 3-3, but the Oilers exploded for five goals in five minutes and 17 seconds, capped by Draisaitl's fourth goal and McDavid's fifth point.

Draisaitl then took a feed in the slot from McDavid on the power play and made no mistake, completing the thumping.
