Connor McDavid scored one goal and two assists and with the three points he climbs up as the league's best scorer so far this season - with 113 points (43 goals and 70 assists) so far this year, two points ahead of Florida's Jonathan Huberdeau (30 goals) and 81 assists).

An achievement that does not seem to take up too much of McDavid's thoughts.

- That's what it is, we try to play good hockey and win matches, that's what we focus on, he says at the press conference after the match

The home team took the lead with 2-0 before Dallas got in its first puck in the middle of the first period.

The guests then equalized before Edmonton again connected grips on the match.

- I think we responded well when they acknowledged and finally managed to deduct a little, says McDavid.

Evan Bouchard made two assists and Mike Smith saved 34 pucks for Edmonton who have won three games in a row.

- We have good self-confidence right now.

The guys have good feelings for their own game and for the team effort.

It's very good what's happening now, says Connor McDavid.

Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz each scored and assists, and Scott Wedgewood saved 45 shots for Dallas, which has lost two straight games.

Edmonton is in fifth place in the Western Division, Dallas in eighth place in the same division.

A total of 16 teams make up the Stanley Cup, which kicks off on 2 May.
