Connor McDavid continued his hot streak with a goal and two assists and also scored in a shootout as the host Edmonton Oilers won their third straight game, beating the Vegas Golden Knights 5-4 on Tuesday.

McDavid, who led the league with 153 points last season and had his ninth career five-point game in an 8-2 win over the St. Louis Blues on Sunday, has logged 12 points (two goals, 10 assists) during the three-game winning streak.

Sam Gagner, Evander Kane and Mattias Janmark also scored for Edmonton, which won despite blowing a two-goal lead in the third period.

Stuart Skinner made 23 saves for the Oilers, who improved to 12-6-2 in the regular season against the Golden Knights.

Michael Amadio had a goal and an assist and Mark Stone, Ben Hutton and Keegan Kolesar also scored for Vegas, which fell to 3-5-3 in the past 11 games. Nicolas Roy added two assists and Logan Thompson finished with 30 saves while taking his fifth consecutive loss.

McDavid opened the shootout with a wrist shot past Thompson's glove side into the top left corner of the goal. After Vegas' Jonathan Marchessault fired a shot wide of the net, Edmonton's Ryan Nugent-Hopkins followed with a wrist shot under Thompson's glove. Vegas' Jack Eichel then clanged a shot off the post to end the game.

Edmonton took a 1-0 lead at 13:29 of the first period. Gagner, a late addition to the lineup when Zach Hyman was scratched due to an illness, picked up a faceoff near the right boards and fired a wrist shot that snuck past Thompson's left arm and inside the near post. It was Ganger's third goal of the season.

Vegas tied it 1-1 at 1:10 of the second period. Stone, parked in front of the crease, deflected Kaedan Korczak's point shot past Skinner.

The Oilers regained the lead at 5:08 of the second, when Janmark deflected Mattias Ekholm's slap shot for his first goal of the season. The Golden Knights tied it again just 43 seconds later when Amadio backhanded in a shot from the slot.

Edmonton bounced back to take a 4-2 lead later in the second period. McDavid scored on a clean breakaway at 7:54, and Kane followed with a power-play goal at 17:23 on a rebound of Evan Bouchard's blast. McDavid got an assist on Kane's goal.

Hutton cut it to 4-3 with his first goal of the season at 13:30 of the third period when he snapped a wrist through traffic and past Skinner's glove side.

Kolesar tied it with 2:08 remaining with his first goal of the season. He redirected Zach Whitecloud's shot into an open right side of the net.
