Connor McDavid scored twice, including his 200th career goal, and added an assist to lead the Oilers past the Coyotes.
The Oilers were sharp in their first regular-season in the U.S. since March 5, 2020, due to the pandemic, scoring at least five goals for the third straight game.
Mikko Koskinen had 25 saves in his first start since Mike Smith went on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. Warren Foegele also scored for Edmonton. The Coyotes were good in their own end early after first-year coach Alex Tourigny switched up his defensive pairings against Edmonton. Arizona finally got to Koskinen early in the third period, when Mayo gathered Ryan Dzingel's cross-ice pass and beat him from the right circle.
