McDavid extends point streak to 19, Oilers defeat Blackhawks

Bertuzzi got the Blackhawks to within 2-1 at 14:46 of the third period. He scored on the rebound of a shot by defenseman Wyatt Kaiser, spinning around at the right post and knocking the puck in with a wrist shot.
Hyman appeared to have scored at 17:38, but it was ruled no goal on the ice because he kicked the puck into the net, which was upheld upon a video review.
Bouchard, though, scored into an empty net to push it 3-1 at 19:07, and Draisaitl got a wrist shot past Knight just eight seconds later at 19:15 for the 4-1 final.
“My whole take on the game was the first 15 minutes they dominated us,” Blackhawks coach Jeff Blashill said. “The first five minutes of the second they took it to us. Spencer kept us in it through that stretch. I thought the last five of the first and the rest of the game were not bad, and then we were really good in the third.
“Unfortunately, a game isn’t 40 minutes long, it’s 60. We’ve talked about it being an every night league, and part of an every night league is 60-minute games, sometimes 65, and you have to make sure you’re as close to your best as you can. Unfortunately, to start the game, we weren’t nearly close to our best. You’re not going to be perfect every night, but you have to be better than that, and they were on top of their game, for sure. They were flying.”
NOTES: Chicago forward Teuvo Teravainen did not play after the first period. Blashill said Teravainen sustained an upper-body injury and that the Blackhawks would know more on Wednesday. … McDavid became the first player in Oilers history to factor in on 200 game-winning goals. He is now one of seven active players to factor in on as many game-winners, with Sidney Crosby (279) topping that list. McDavid also became the second active player to record 10 seasons with at least 50 assists, joining Crosby (12).
