Viktor Arvidsson had a goal and an assist as the Edmonton Oilers won their third game in a row, getting past the surging Ottawa Senators 3-1 on Sunday.
Arvidsson was playing in just his third game back after missing 15 games with an injury and was elevated to the first line — with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins absent due to an illness — scoring just his third goal of the NHL season.
Zach Hyman and Adam Henrique also scored for the Oilers who have won 11 of their last 13 contests.
Hyman has been on an unbelievable heater with goals in six straight games and 10 goals in his last nine games since returning from an injury, giving him 13 goals on the season after scoring just three goals in his first 20 games.
Hyman, who leads the NHL in goals scored in December, had a career year last season with 54 goals.
Stuart Skinner made 21 saves in the Oilers’ net.
