EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Nathan MacKinnon had two goals and two assists, Cale Makar, Parker Kelly and Jack Drury also scored twice and the Western Conference-leading Colorado Avalanche embarrassed the Edmonton Oilers 9-1 on Saturday night.
Gavin Brindley also scored, Scott Wedgewood made 23 saves and Devon Toews had three assists. The Avalanche have earned at least a point in six straight games to improve to 9-1-5.
Connor McDavid scored for Edmonton. The Oilers have dropped three straight to fall to 6-6-4.
Stuart Skinner allowed four goals on 13 shots before being replaced by Calvin Pickard, who made 17 stops.
