Edmonton wins November 1 in New York with a McDavid milestone, a three-point night by Evan Bouchard and two Colton Dach goals.
McDavid leads Edmonton to another road win
The Edmonton Oilers beat the New York Rangers 4–1 at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, November 1. Connor McDavid scored 50 seconds after the opening faceoff and later assisted on Evan Bouchard's power-play goal. His assist stretched his record season-opening assist streak to 15 games and made him the fastest player in NHL history to 30 assists in a season, reaching the mark one game sooner than Wayne Gretzky's 1984–85 record. The result and milestone were confirmed by NHL.com and Edmonton's official game coverage.
An early lead and second-period separation
Colton Dach made it 2–0 early in the first period. Bouchard's power-play goal put Edmonton up 3–0 in the second, before Pavel Dorofeyev scored for New York to narrow the gap. Dach scored again into an empty net late in the third to complete the 4–1 final. Bouchard finished with one goal and two assists, placing him among a small group of defensemen who reached at least 25 points through their team's first 15 games of an NHL season.
Goalie contribution and road form
Edmonton goaltender Matt Tomkins made 27 saves according to the NHL's game recap, helping the Oilers win a third straight contest. McDavid's first-minute goal was his eighth career goal in the opening minute of a game, a new Oilers franchise mark. Edmonton improved to 11–2–2, while the Rangers fell to 7–7–1 with their fourth consecutive loss, according to the league's game account. This is a completed November 1 game and separate from Saturday's Edmonton 4–0 shutout of the Islanders.
What comes next
The Oilers are scheduled to visit the New Jersey Devils on November 3. Edmonton's road form and McDavid's scoring pace will be points to watch, but neither guarantees a future result.
