Levi, McDavid help Oilers top Maple Leafs

TORONTO – Devon Levi made 20 saves for his first NHL shutout and Connor McDavid extended his season-opening point streak to 21 games as the Edmonton Oilers downed Toronto 1-0 to hand the Maple Leafs their sixth straight home loss Saturday.

Evan Bouchard scored for Edmonton (15-3-3), which improved to 7-1-1 over its last nine games.

McDavid picked up an assist to give him an eye-popping 50 points (11 goals, 39 assists) and add to his league lead.

Anthony Stolarz stopped 22 shots for Toronto (8-12-2), which suffered its sixth consecutive regulation loss to complete a disastrous six-game stretch at Scotiabank Arena.
