OTTAWA, Ontario — Connor McDavid showcased his remarkable skills by netting two goals and providing an assist, steering the Edmonton Oilers to a 5-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday evening.

The Oilers had a strong showing after a recent defeat, with additional goals by Evan Bouchard, Leon Draisaitl, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. This victory came on the heels of a disappointing 3-0 loss to Montreal the previous night.

Ottawa managed to score through Tim Stutzle and Josh Norris, but the game marked the Senators’ third consecutive loss, putting them at 0-2-1 in their last three games and giving them a record of 3-5-1 for the month of November.

Bouchard kicked off the scoring just a few minutes into the first period, taking control of the puck in his own zone and maneuvering past defenders to beat goalie Linus Ullmark. Ullmark recorded 26 saves during the matchup.

Later in the first, Stutzle equalized with his 99th career goal, only for McDavid to respond quickly and put Edmonton back in the lead just 35 seconds later. McDavid scored again on a power play, extending the Oilers’ lead to 3-1.

Early in the second period, McDavid assisted Draisaitl, who converted on a backhand shot against Ullmark. Nugent-Hopkins later increased the lead to 5-1 midway through the third period with a tip-in from Derek Ryan’s shot, while Norris added a final goal for Ottawa by redirecting Nick Jensen’s shot.

**Key Takeaways**

For the Senators, significant defensive breakdowns contributed to their downfall, as three of Calgary’s five goals stemmed from lapses in their zone. On the other hand, Oilers’ goalkeeper Stuart Skinner had a relatively quiet night but remained effective, clocking in 27 saves when called into action.

**Notable Moment**

A pivotal moment came when Senators’ player Norris received a penalty for cross-checking, followed by teammate Claude Giroux getting called for a faceoff violation. This sequence allowed the Oilers to capitalize with a two-man advantage, leading to McDavid’s second goal of the night.

**Stats of Interest**

Before this game, McDavid had never scored against Ullmark. However, he now boasts 13 goals and 32 assists in his 25 career appearances against the Senators.

Looking ahead, the Oilers will face the Minnesota Wild on Thursday, while the Senators are set to host the Vegas Golden Knights.
