The victory moved Edmonton three points ahead of Seattle for the final automatic playoff spot from the Pacific Division. McDavid recorded his 20th three-point game of the season, the first player to reach that mark since both Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr did it in the 1995-96 season. McDavid scored his 58th goal of the season on a power play with 3:50 remaining. McDavid still did his part with a goal and two assists, giving him 134 points for the season - the seventh-most points by any player in the past 30 years. ”Obviously we have two of the best players in the world, but they can’t carry a team and win a championship.
“That’s part of my job is to be productive for this group,“ said Kane, who has played in just 29 games due to injuries. Kane also scored Edmonton’s first goal less than two minutes into the game, and his second goal came 43 seconds into the second period. Kane capped the sixth three-goal game of his career by scoring on an odd-man rush with 9:40 remaining just after a power play for Seattle ended. Kane recorded his second hat trick of the season and the Oilers gained some cushion in the Western Conference playoff chase with a 6-4 win over the Seattle Kraken on Saturday. And the timing couldn’t be better with the playoffs on the horizon. SEATTLE (AP) - Evander Kane needed just three shots to show the Edmonton Oilers can be more than just Connor McDavid.
