OTTAWA – Jordan Eberle scored twice and added an assist as the Edmonton Oilers started their four-game road trip with a 7-2 beating of the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night.

Mark Fayne, Zack Kassian, Andrej Sekera, Leon Draisaitl and Brandon Davidson also scored for the Oilers (21-26-5). Rookie sensation Connor McDavid, playing just his second game since returning from a broken clavicle, had two assists on the night.

Cam Talbot made 26 saves for the win.

It was much of the same for struggling Ottawa (23-23-6), which has now lost three straight and seven of its last ten.

Craig Anderson allowed three goals on ten shots before Andrew Hammond came in and allowed four goals on 18 shots.

Mike Hoffman and Mark Stone were the lone Senators to beat Talbot.
