season with Colorado, to join.
Oilers 5, Canucks 3
Connor McDavid scored a hat trick and also had an assist as host
Edmonton rallied from a three-goal, second-period deficit to
defeat Vancouver in the season opener for both teams.

scoring, while Linus Ullmark made 33 saves. The win came at a
cost, however, as Jake DeBrusk suffered an upper-body injury and

a streak of five consecutive season-opening wins snapped. Darcy
Kuemper made 25 stops in his Capitals debut.
