Connor McDavid extended his season-opening point streak to 14 games and Tristan Jarry recorded a second consecutive shutout as the Edmonton Oilers beat the New York Islanders 4-0 on Saturday night in Elmont, New York.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored twice in the second period, including a power-play goal set up by McDavid. Vasily Podkolzin also scored in the period, and Jason Dickinson added an empty-net goal late in the third.

Nugent-Hopkins opened the scoring at 8:42 after Kasperi Kapanen won a puck battle and found him on the rush. Podkolzin made it 2-0 just 68 seconds later by redirecting a Leon Draisaitl pass in front.

At 18:26, McDavid sent the puck across to Nugent-Hopkins at the far post for a tap-in and a 3-0 lead. The assist gave McDavid 37 points in October — eight goals and 29 assists — and kept his streak alive through Edmonton's first 14 games.

Jarry stopped all 18 Islanders shots. He had made 24 saves in a 4-0 win over Calgary on Wednesday, giving him consecutive shutouts. Ilya Sorokin stopped 20 shots for New York.

Edmonton went 1-for-6 on the power play and killed all four New York opportunities. The Oilers improved to 10-2-2 and won their sixth road game of the season. The Islanders fell to 7-5-2 after winning their previous two.

Oilers forward Isaac Howard left early in the first period after a collision with Emil Heineman, who received a major penalty and game misconduct for kneeing. Edmonton coach Mike Babcock said after the game that the initial outlook appeared favorable, but the team would reassess Howard.

Edmonton continues its road trip Sunday against the New York Rangers. The Islanders next host Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
