Dec 18, 2025; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Boston Bruins center Pavel Zacha (18) scores on Edmonton Oilers goaltender Tristan Jarry (35) during the first period at TD Garden. Mandatory Credit: Winslow Townson-Imagn Images <\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\nQuinn Hutson scored his first NHL goal with 5:22 left in the second period, and it stood as the game-winner as the visiting Edmonton Oilers beat the Boston Bruins 3-1 on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Edmonton tallied a goal in each period on the way to its sixth win in eight games (6-1-1). Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid each finished with a goal and an assist.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Nugent-Hopkins opened the scoring with a power-play goal in the first, while McDavid added a shorthanded tally in the third. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n McDavid has 10 goals and 12 assists during an eight-game point streak.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Edmonton’s Tristan Jarry stopped 12 of the 13 shots he faced, but left with an apparent lower-body injury after saving a Morgan Geekie slap shot with 4:52 left in the second. Calvin Pickard made 12 saves on as many shots in relief.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Pavel Zacha scored the lone goal and Jeremy Swayman made 22 saves for Boston, which is 5-2-0 in its last seven games. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n After Jarry saved Sean Kuraly’s shorthanded break at the opposite end of the rink, Edmonton’s power play linked for the opening goal at 13:38. Starting the play by speeding down the wing and dropping a pass off for Leon Draisaitl, McDavid threaded a puck from behind the goal line to Nugent-Hopkins who banged in a goal at the back post.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Zacha then responded during the hosts’ first man advantage, receiving a saucer pass from Elias Lindholm as he cut down the slot and lifting a glove-side backhander over Jarry with 3:33 left before intermission.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Hutson put Edmonton back in front at 14:38 of the second. The Boston University product slotted the rebound of former Bruin Max Jones’ shot past an outstretched Swayman.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Pickard entered the net to make three huge stops before the end of the middle frame, including one on a Mikey Eyssimont wrist shot from the left circle and another on Hampus Lindholm’s drive from the point. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n Shortly after Pickard gloved David Pastrnak’s chance over the crossbar during an early Boston power play in the third, a moment of McDavid brilliance allowed the Oilers to take a two-goal lead at 1:41. Nugent-Hopkins sprung the Edmonton captain down the middle for his first shorthanded goal of the season on a backhand breakaway finish.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Swayman stopped three Zach Hyman shots in less than three minutes following the halfway mark of the third, but Boston was unable to draw closer than 3-1 as a late power play was killed off.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n –Field Level Media<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
