Oilers Beat Predators 3-1, Draisaitl Injured

0:00On this March 16th, here's what's making headlines with the NHL. The Edmonton Oilers beat the Nashville Predators 3-1 on Sunday at Rodgers Place. Leon Drossadell opened the scoring with a power play wrist shot just 3 minutes and 12 seconds into the first period, but he left the game with an undisclosed injury after taking a hit into the boards. A little over a minute after his goal, Dries Idol skated a couple more shifts before heading to the locker room for good at the start of the second. Conor McDavid stepped up big with three assists, including one on Matt's voice goal that made it to nothing early in the second on a 2-1-1. Rush, the Predators got on the board in the third when Fedor Spetschkov shot deflected off an oiler stick to cut the lead in half. Zach Hyman sealed the win with an empty netter with just one minute seven seconds left right after Steven Stamcoes rang one off the post. Oilers goalie Conor Ingram stopped 28 shots, while Juxtus Anunin made 27 for Nashville.
