TORONTO -- Wayne Gretzky and Bobby Orr traveled to see a hyped first matchup between Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid. They got a show from Nazem Kadri instead.Kadri got his second goal of the game in overtime, lifting the Toronto Maple Leafs over the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Tuesday night.Matthews and McDavid were scoreless in the first showdown of the last two No. 1 overall picks. McDavid, from nearby Richmond Hill, Ontario, played his first NHL game in Toronto, and the game had enough hype to bring in legends Gretzky and Orr to watch.Kadri claimed he missed all the buildup.To be honest with you I dont know what people were talking about before the game, he said. I was just focused on my matchup and my assignment and just doing whatever I can to help the team win.Kadri won it on the first shift of overtime, eluding McDavids pursuit before beating Cam Talbot. The Leafs 26-year-old top line center has five goals in 10 games. He needed 27 games and almost two months (Dec. 5) to get there last season.His line also managed to hold McDavid off the scoreboard.He can embarrass you when he gets time and space so I just tried to limit that from him and just stay on top of him as much as I could, Kadri said.Hes a good player, McDavid said of Kadri. He played me hard. Good for him.Frederik Andersen had 44 saves for Toronto and Ben Smith also scored. The Leafs have won three of four games at home this season.Edmonton has dropped two in a row for the first time this season. Anton Lander and Darnell Nurse scored and Talbot stopped 28 shots.McDavids line was burned for the first goal of the game 89 seconds into the first period, with Kadri striking for an early lead.After hitting a pair of posts, the Oilers got on the board with 31 seconds left in the first. The action was driven by 25-year-old fourth line fireplug Tyler Pitlick, who stole the puck behind the Toronto goal and found Lander open in front.McDavid had his chances, rushing down the right side at one point and then flipping a backhand attempt on Andersen. McDavid had four shots on goal in nearly 23 minutes.Leafs coach Mike Babcock was surprised at how much Oilers coach Todd McLellan, his former assistant in Detroit, used McDavid. The Leafs coach thought McDavid wore down as the night wore on.I was never expecting the guy to play that much, Babcock said. Hes a good player and all that, but so is (Ryan) Nugent-Hopkins.Matthews, meanwhile, generated some opportunities after a quiet first period, including a few good looks on setups from NHL rookie of the month for October William Nylander. Matthews finished with six shots.Smith put the Leafs in front 2-1 early into the second frame. Nurse lost sight of Smith as he crashed the net.Nurse beat Anderson high glove side for a goal near the midway point of the third period that tied it 2-2.Game notesMcDavid and Matthews saw the ice against one another only sparingly over two periods, though more so in the final frame. Matthews, the first overall pick one year after McDavid, described the meeting as just another game on Tuesday morning.UP NEXTOilers: Play at the New York Rangers on Thursday night.Maple Leafs: Play at the Buffalo Sabers on Thursday night.Carlos Sanchez Moreno Colombia Jersey .

In each of them, theyve held leads of at least three goals. They ended up losing to both the Jets and Canucks in overtime.Meanwhile, the Oilers practiced Monday, despite it originally being scheduled as an off-day as mandated by the Collective Bargaining Agreement. But, after a 6-2 stinker of a loss to Buffalo on Sunday, the players voted to practice rather than rest, and the CBA-required rest day was moved to Wednesday.Judging by the noise coming from the Oilers, youd never know the team won two of its first three games of the season. The Oilers have scored 14 times in three games, but have given up 13 goals.And while goalie Cam Talbot has given up all 13 of those goals, the man bearing the brunt of the criticism is right winger Benoit Pouliot. Even though he scored in first period of Sundays game, he was benched after a couple of needless minor penalties. Pouliot has already been assessed six minors in the first three games.Will Pouliot play Tuesday? His coach, Todd McLellan, has clearly had enough.He took three penalties in a 15-minute span in Calgary and he took two (against Buffalo) in about a 12-minute span, said McLellan. If Im a penalty killer, I dont want to be out there blocking shots all the time for him for stupid penalties. So he can sit and watch, plain and simple. We have some foundational or fabric things we need to continue to fix as an organization, and stupidity is one of them.But Pouliot hopes he can use the game to turn the page.Its unfortunate, he said of his penalty issues. I put myself in a bad situation and in a bad position, and I paid for it the last two games. We play tomorrow again, its good..ddddddddddddOn Sunday, the Sabres got six power plays. The Oilers had the man advantage just once -- and that came late in the third when the result was a foregone conclusion.While unwise penalties plague the Oilers, the Canes have struggled to hold leads. This is a team that had a three-goal lead over Vancouver in the second period -- and lost. It had a three-goal lead over Winnipeg in the third period -- and lost.Weve scored some goals, coach Bill Peters told the teams website. Certain guys are doing the right things in order to score, and other guys are a little late to the party in that regard. Now well be able to make a couple changes to the lineup to make our team better.With a young group it can be tough to stay calm through games like that, Jordan Staal told the teams website. Including myself, it seemed like everyone was kind of off the page in the third period there.Expect left winger Phillip Di Giuseppe, right winger Martin Frk and defenseman Jakub Nakladal to all make their season debuts against the Oilers. Nakladal played 27 games with the Flames last season and had been waiting for his immigration paperwork to clear. Frk was claimed on waivers last week from the Detroit Red Wings organization.Oilers center Connor McDavid was named the NHLs first star of the week Monday. McDavid had three goals and three assists in the Oilers first three games of the season.The Oilers confirmed Monday that back-up goalie Jonas Gustavsson, who came in for Talbot on Sunday but then had to leave the game with a head injury, wont be available for the Carolina game. The team called up net minder Laurent Brossoit from its AHL affiliate in Stockton, Cal. Brossoit has an 0-5-1 career record and a 3.34. GAA in NHL play. ' ' '
