McDavid puts up three points as Edmonton Oilers double up Winnipeg Jets 4-2
WINNIPEG — Connor McDavid is back atop the NHL scoring race after putting up a goal and two assists Saturday as the Edmonton Oilers beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-2, extending their win streak to five straight.
McDavid has 71 points (26 goals, 45 assists) on the season, two ahead of teammate Leon Draisatl, who picked up one assist against the Jets.
Zach Hyman, Kailer Yamamoto and Darnell Nurse also had goals for Edmonton (28-18-3) while Tyson Barrie contributed a pair of assists.
Winnipeg (22-19-8) scored a pair of third-period goals, with one coming short-handed from Adam Lowry and Kyle Connor adding another on a power play.
Mikko Koskinen stopped 22 shots for Edmonton, which has now tallied five straight wins under interim head coach Jay Woodcroft.
Connor Hellebuyck made 36 saves for Winnipeg, which is 5-3-1 after a six-game winless streak.
The Oilers showed the Jets how to work a power play in the first period.
Winnipeg had a five-on-three man advantage for 90 seconds, but didn’t get a shot on goal after a lot of passing back and forth.
Edmonton then got its first power play of the game and Hyman tipped in Barrie’s point shot through traffic at the 12:17 mark, 20 seconds into the advantage.
The Oilers are 15-0 when scoring first this season.
Edmonton outshot the Jets 15-5 in the opening period.
Winnipeg showed more life early in the second, putting two shots at Koskinen in the first minute. Paul Stastny flipped a close backhand toward the net, but the goalie quickly thrust out his pad for the save.
It was Koskinen’s first game playing since he went into COVID-19 protocol right after the NHL all-star break.
A couple of minutes later on the other side of the ice, Hellebuyck got his body in front of a close-in shot by Yamamoto.
Yamamoto stayed persistent and it paid off. He got his own rebound and recorded his 10th goal of the season at 7:46.
Draisaitl helped make it 3-0, sending a backhand pass across front of the net to McDavid, who fired the puck past Hellebuyck at 10:50.
McDavid’s latest point streak sits at six games, including three goals and eight helpers.
The Oilers had a 13-11 edge in shots on goal in the middle frame.
Koskinen stood tall in the third, stopping Jets defenceman Brenden Dillon on a short-handed breakaway midway through the period. Dillon was playing in his 700th career game.
Lowry then got a breakaway and put a shot under Koskinen’s pads at 10:45. Connor followed up with his 29th goal of the season, a one-timer at 14:38.
Blake Wheeler picked up an assist on Connors’ goal, giving him 12 points in his last four games, including three goals.
The Jets went on the power play with 2:05 left in the third when the Oilers were called for too many men on the ice, but couldn’t capitalize and Nurse scored on the empty net with three seconds remaining.
Winnipeg will embark on a four-game road trip beginning Monday afternoon in Calgary against the Flames. Edmonton is set to host the Minnesota Wild on Sunday night.

Around the same time Chrystia Freeland announced she is running to replace Trudeau as leader of the Liberal Party, citizens noticed that her World Economic Forum page has been deleted from the globalist group’s website.
Former finance minister and deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland’s World Economic Forum (WEF) page has been deleted around the same time she announced her bid for leadership of the Liberal Party.
On January 19, Freeland, who recently resigned from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, announced that she would run for Liberal leader now that Trudeau says he is stepping down. Around this time, the WEF’s profile on Freeland was taken down from their website.
“Sorry, but we can’t find the page you were looking for,” the page now says after clicking on the link which originally brought users to Freeland’s WEF profile. The page is still viewable via the internet archive, which notes that she is on the Board of Trustees for the globalist group best known for its infamous “Great Reset” agenda.
In addition to the WEF page being deleted, the majority of Freeland’s Instagram posts have been removed from public view.
Many have speculated online as to the reason why these actions were taken, with some suggesting that Freeland desires to distance herself from the massively criticized group.
Critics often pointed to Freeland’s association with the group during her tenure as finance minister and deputy prime minister, as she was known for pushing policies endorsed by the globalist organization, such as the carbon tax and online censorship.
Freeland’s ties to the WEF seem extensive, with her receiving a personal commendation from former WEF leader Klaus Schwab.
Freeland is perhaps best known internationally for her heavy-handed response to anti-mandate Freedom Convoy protesters, which saw the then-finance minister direct financial institutions to freeze the bank accounts of Canadians who participated in or donated to the protest.
One of Freeland’s main opponents in the Liberal leadership race, Mark Carney, also has ties to the WEF, and has similarly come under fire from critics for pushing their globalist agenda.

Poilievre calls likely Trudeau replacement Mark Carney the World Economic Forum’s ‘golden boy’
From LifeSiteNews
‘He is the golden boy of the World Economic Forum and he will be a disaster if he ever gets anywhere close to power’
The leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, Pierre Poilievre, had choice words for Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney’s ties to global elites, calling him out as the “golden boy” for the World Economic Forum.
“He is the golden boy of the World Economic Forum and he will be a disaster if he ever gets anywhere close to power,” Polievre said in a video posted to X on Monday.
Poilievre added that the reason “we know” Carney will be a “disaster” is that “he has been Justin Trudeau’s personal economic advisor” for years.
“If you think that Justin Trudeau has done a bad job on the economy, you know who’s been pulling his strings,” the Conservative Party leader added.
“Carbon tax Carney. They’re both [Carney and Chrystia Freeland] … just like Justin, and that’s why we need a carbon tax election to fire them all and bring home a common-sense Conservative government,” he said.
As referenced by Poilievere, Carney has worked closely with the WEF for years, in addition to serving in top roles as a central banker in both England and Canada.
The banker has also endorsed the carbon tax and even criticized Trudeau when he exempted home heating oil from the tax.
The Liberal Party of Canada will choose its next leader, who will automatically become prime minister, on March 9, after Trudeau announced that he plans to step down as Liberal Party leader once a new leader has been chosen.
Just last week, Carney drew headlines after no less than four journalists from independent media were forcefully barred from attending his Liberal Party leadership candidacy press conference.
