Connor McDavid had a pair of assists as the Oilers continued their late playoff push with a victory over the Canucks.
Alex Chiasson, Zack Kassian and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored for the Oilers , who have won four straight games and are 6-1-2 in their last nine outings to move within seven points of Minnesota for the second wild card in the West.Edmonton started the scoring just over five minutes into the first period when former Canuck Sam Gagner stole a puck behind the net and fed it in front to Chiasson, who sent a shot through the legs of Vancouver goalie Thatcher Demko for his 19th of the season.
Koskinen kept that lead intact late in the first, making a pad save on a point-blank shot by Josh Leivo. Vancouver got on the board with 1:30 left in the second when Koskinen mishandled a shot and Beagle poked in a puck that was sitting on the goal line.
