EDMONTON, Alberta -- Connor McDavid scored twice to reach the 50-goal mark for the first time in his career, but even the game's best player couldn't derail the league's best team, as the Boston Bruins outlasted the Edmonton Oilers, 3-2, on Monday night.
Pavel Zacha scored the tiebreaking goal late in the second period and the Bruins flexed their depth, skating to their seventh straight win.
Nick Foligno and Tomas Nosek also scored for the Bruins, and Dmitry Orlov had two assists for his first points since being acquired from Washington last week.
