BOSTON — The Oilers escaped a scare when NHL scoring leader Connor McDavid limped off the ice late in Edmonton's 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins. He left minutes after Darnell Nurse scored the tiebreaking goal with 4:49 remaining to lead Edmonton to a 3-2 victory. McDavid struggled to get off the ice after colliding knee-to-knee with teammate Derek Ryan. But the two-time NHL MVP returned to help the Oilers hold on when Boston pulled goalie Jeremy Swayman for an extra skater in the final minutes. McDavid has 54 goals this season. Evan Bouchard and Ryan McLeod also scored for Edmonton. Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak had goals as Boston's 10-game winning streak was stopped.
