Artemi Panarin scored twice and Jonathan Quick made 34 saves for the Rangers (12-6-1), who lost consecutive games for the first time this season.

Vasily Podkolzin scored his first goal of the season to put the Oilers ahead 1-0 at 17:34 of the first period after a Draisaitl give-and-go in the slot, hitting the high glove on Quick .

Darnell Nurse scored with nine seconds left in the first period to make it 2-0. He was left all alone in the high slot as Mattias Janmark skated around the net and threw it over the ball for the serve, past Quick’s glove.

Bouchard scored on a wrist shot from the high slot that beat the Quick glove side to make it 4-0 at 11:58.

Panarin made it 4-1 at 15:02 when he sent a wrist shot from the left spot that bounced off Skinner’s pad, onto the shaft of his stick and into the net.

McDavid took a pass from Bouchard from the opposite side to the side of the net and redirected the pass past Quick’s stick for a 5–1 lead at 5:49 of the third period.

McDavid made it 6-1 at 9:37, sidestepping a sliding Victor Mancini and netting Quick before lifting the puck into the open net.

Nurse turned the puck over and then got a wrist shot from the slot as Panarin punched away from him and past Skinner for the 6-2 final at 16:29.
