McDavid gets hat trick, Oilers score 9 in win against Kraken

McCann cut it to 6-3 at 9:30. After Eberle took the puck from McDavid at the Oilers’ blue line and sent an initial shot on goal, McCann pounced on the rebound and beat Pickard stick side from in tight.

Mattias Janmark increased the score to 7-3 at 2:03 of the third period, cleaning up a rebound at the top of the crease off a shot by Andrew Mangiapane. It was Janmark’s first regular-season goal since Jan. 27, 2025.

McDavid completed the hat trick to make it 8-3 on a power play at 6:59. A shot from Nugent-Hopkins missed wide and caromed off the glass behind the net to McDavid at the left wall. McDavid then settled the puck and put a snap shot into an open net from a tough angle.

“You might think I’m crazy, but the only one I can remember like that would be my first hat trick goal in Dallas (on Nov. 19, 2016),” McDavid said. “It was similar a little bit, definitely a unique one.”

Savoie scored his second goal on a power play to put Edmonton up 9-3 at 8:58. Adam Henrique tapped a rebound to Savoie at the bottom of the left circle, where he lifted it over a prone Grubauer.

“I think as the season has progressed, I’ve just gotten more confident and more comfortable with the puck on my stick in all situations,” Savoie said. “I definitely feel good out there right now and I’m just looking to build off of that.”

Nyman scored on a rebound from in tight at 19:55 for the 9-4 final.

NOTES: Kraken forward Mason Marchment sustained an undisclosed injury in a 4-0 loss against the Oilers on Saturday and did not travel with the team. … McDavid is now tied with Mark Messier for the fourth-most hat tricks in Oilers history, behind Wayne Gretzky (43), Glenn Anderson (20) and Jari Kurri (20). … Edmonton forward Connor Clattenburg left the game at 6:11 of the third period after taking a high stick along the boards from Montour, who received a double-minor penalty on the play. “He took a couple of stitches above his eye,” Knoblauch said. “I think everything is good.”
