Draisaitl passed to McDavid for a one-timer to tie the game. The goal was McDavid’s 1,000th. career points, and he extends his point streak against Nashville to 15 games.

Nashville Predators vs. Edmonton Oilers: Live updates, NHL game highlights

Nurse now has two points tonight after getting the secondary assist on the first Edmonton goal.

A bad dump-in by Jonathan Marchessault in a 4-on-4 play turns into a 2-on-1 with Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid vs. Jeremy Lauzon, and Draisaitl passes to McDavid for the goal.
