TAKEAWAY

Maple Leafs: Matthews and Kirill Marchenko both extended their season-opening road streak to five games. Matthews now needs just one point to reach 800 in his career, which would make him the fastest player in franchise history to reach the milestone, in addition to the third-fastest American skater in the NHL to reach the mark.

Oilers: Connor McDavid had two assists to extend his early-season points streak to 11 games — giving him an incredible 33 points in 11 games. McDavid entered the contest scoring a surprising 3.10 points per game.

IMPORTANT MOMENT

Just 54 seconds after going up 2-0, Kirill Marchenko made a great pass to hit Stecher in the slot and he scored his second goal of the season in as many games.


KEY STATUS

No team has had more success at Rogers Place in Edmonton than the Maple Leafs. Since the Oilers moved into their new arena, Toronto has gone 12-2-1.

PENALTY KILLING ABILITY

The Maple Leafs have been impressive this season on the PK. They had killed 40 of the opposition’s 41 power plays and 30 in a row until Edmonton got one late in Saturday’s game.
