EDMONTON, Alberta — The Ducks got a hat trick for the second consecutive game, but it wasn’t enough to keep their win streak alive.

Mikael Granlund scored three goals for the Ducks, but Mattias Ekholm scored a hat trick of his own as the Edmonton Oilers rode a dominant second period to a 7-4 victory on Monday night, snapping the visitors’ seven-game winning streak.

Zach Hyman and Connor McDavid each added a goal and an assist for the Oilers, Spencer Stastney scored his first in an Edmonton jersey and Darnell Nurse also scored.

Leon Draisaitl contributed four assists and Tristan Jarry stopped 36 of the 40 shots he faced.

All of Granlund’s goals came on the power play, starting with his 10th of the season just 3:24 into the game.

His linemate Alex Killorn added an even-strength tally 55 seconds into the second period, Beckett Sennecke notched two assists, and Ville Husso made 25 saves in the loss. Sennecke was coming off his first career NHL hat trick in a 4-3 overtime win against the Flames on Sunday night in Calgary.

The Oilers got some fresh faces into the lineup with winger Kasperi Kapanen returning after missing three games with an injury and center Josh Samanski made his NHL debut.

Cutter Gauthier helped out on Granlund’s first goal of the night and extended his points streak to five games with three goals and four assists across the stretch.
