McDavid, Draisaitl put on a show as Penguins lose sixth straight

6 - 4
F

It was the Connor McDavid (2 Goals- 2 Assists) and Leon Draisaitl (4 Assists) show at PPG Paints Arena Tuesday Night. The dynamic duo combined for eight points in an Oilers 6-4 win over the Penguins. McDavid was spectacular in scoring a Lemieux Esque goal with Super Mario in the building, while Draisaitl became the 4th fastest active player to 1000 career points.

For Pittsburgh they have now lost six straight and failed to win at least once in a five-game homestand for the first time in team history. Pittsburgh is 0-3 since the Tristan Jarry trade as Jarry stopped 26 of 30 shots for his second consecutive win with the Oilers. Former Oiler Stuart Skinner struggled mightily in his Penguins debut, posting a .773 SV% (17 Saves) in the loss.
