EDMONTON -- Connor McDavid had a goal and an assist to extend his point streak to 11 games, and the Edmonton Oilers cruised to a 6-1 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Rogers Place on Sunday.
McDavid has 26 points during his streak. He also extended his home point streak to 25 games.
Zach Hyman scored two goals, Ryan McLeod had a goal and an assist, and Leon Draisaitl had three assists for the Oilers (37-20-2). Calvin Pickard mad 23 saves.
Evgeni Malkin scored, and Alex Nedeljkovic made 32 saves for the Penguins (27-24-8), who have lost three in a row.
Saturday's game
CALGARY, Alberta -- Yegor Sharangovich scored twice, including the tiebreaking goal with 50 seconds left, and the Calgary Flames rallied from two goals down in the third period to beat the Penguins 4-3 on Saturday night.
"We beat ourselves. In a number of different ways," Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. "We had complete control of the game. Played a really good game up until that point and we just made some egregious mistakes and it's hard to recover."
Nazem Kadri and Blake Coleman also scored for Calgary, which has won a season-high five straight games. Jacob Markstrom stopped 27 shots and the Flames moved five points behind Los Angeles for the second Western Conference wild card.
"We've got a bunch of guys in here that refuse to go down (without) swinging and that's a great mentality to have," Kadri said. "Everybody understands we're still in the hunt. We're giving ourselves every opportunity possible. Even if there's a sliver of hope, we'll take that and we'll run with it."
Jonathan Gruden got his first NHL goal, and Lars Eller and Jeff Carter also scored for Pittsburgh. Tristan Jarry made 16 saves.
With Tampa Bay's win earlier in the night, the Penguins fell 10 points behind the Lightning for the second Eastern Conference wild card -- though Pittsburgh had five games in hand.
"We have no choice -- we have to keep fighting," left wing Drew O'Connor said. "It's a tough way to end that game. We know how important each game is, and we need a lot of them right now. To lose that one when we're in control hurts a lot."
Trailing 3-1 midway through the third, Calgary suddenly woke up with two goals 32 seconds apart.
Kadri picked up the puck inside his own blue line and slipped it through Noel Acciari's skates as he carried up ice, then made a slick move to dangle past Kris Letang before pulling the puck all the way across the crease and burying it on Jarry at 10:09.
