Leon Draisaitl scored twice as the Edmonton Oilers beat the Vancouver Canucks 4–2 on Saturday, 7 November 2026, at Rogers Place in Edmonton, on Hockey Fights Cancer Night.
Draisaitl had two goals and an assist: the power-play game-winner at 4:00 of the third period, then an empty-netter at 19:15. Connor McDavid added three assists, extending his season-opening point streak to 18 games and his assist streak to 18 — tying Adam Oates from 1992–93 for the second-longest assist streak in NHL history, behind Wayne Gretzky’s 23 from 1990–91. McDavid now has 47 points, with 10 goals and 37 assists.
The other scorers were Mattias Ekholm at 9:14 of the first and Jason Dickinson at 0:49 of the third for Edmonton, and Max Sasson at 19:51 of the first and Brock Boeser at 17:25 of the third for Vancouver. Goalie Devon Levi made 20 saves in his return after missing seven games injured, while Leevi Merilainen stopped 26 for Vancouver.
Edmonton improve to 12–3–3, snapping a two-game slide, and still top the Pacific Division. Vancouver fall to 3–15–1, having lost five straight and only one win in their last 16 games, at 1–14–1 — the worst record in the West.
The Canucks’ collapse continues: they also lost 6-2 to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday, and the week also brought the Canada jobs report showing unemployment at 6.7 per cent in October. Edmonton keep rolling at the top of the Pacific.
