EDMONTON — Evander Kane had a goal and an assist as the Edmonton Oilers closed out pre-season play with a 3-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Friday.
Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman also scored and Evan Bouchard had a pair of assists for the Oilers , who have won three straight exhibition contests.Jared McCann replied for the Kraken as Philipp Grubauer stopped 22 shots.
Edmonton controlled the bulk of the play for the first half of the opening period, but it was the Kraken who struck first on just their third shot with seven minutes remaining, as McCann won a race to gather up the puck at the line and had a clear lane to beat Campbell. Bouchard made a perfect pass ahead to a hard-charging McDavid a couple of minutes later for an easy redirection past Grubauer. It was McDavid’s fourth goal of the pre-season.
Seattle was the dominant club for most of the second period, outshooting Edmonton 14-4 up until there was four minutes left when the Oilers deadly power play struck. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins fed it to Hyman, who out-waited a sprawling Brandon Tanev before scoring on a wrist shot to give Edmonton a 2-1 lead heading into the final frame.Campbell made a few stellar stops in the dying minutes with the Seattle net empty to preserve the victory.
