<p>Leon Draisaitl opened the scoring for the Oilers with a goal on the man advantage in the first period that moved him into first place on the team&#8217;s all-time power play goals leaderboard.</p>

<p>The Oilers added a couple more goals from Zach Hyman and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins before Connor McDavid put them up by a score of 4-0 late in the first period. This looked like a broken play as McDavid was tripped as he entered Nashville&#8217;s zone but he still managed to pick up the puck and snipe a shot past Juuse Saros.</p>

<p>The Preds scored on the power play in the second period to make the score 4-1 but that was the only goal that Jack Campbell would allow. The veteran had a nice rebound after being pulled in the season opener as he stopped 42 of 43 shots that the Predators threw on net.</p>

<p>Draisaitl added another power play goal shortly after Nashville got on the board to push Edmonton&#8217;s lead to 5-1. The goal was Draisaitl&#8217;s 24th in 24 games against the Predators and was his 18th goal in his last 10 games against them.</p>
