Inside The Oilers Blog
"We talked about it between the first and second and the message there was we just got to get a lot better in our zone, come out cleaner and play in their end," said Oilers Head Coach Todd McLellan. "We carried that theme through the second and third.
"We're happy for our group, it's a big win for us."
Ty Rattie notched his first of the season in the third while Jesse Puljujarvi netted his first on the Oilers equalizer. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also picked up three assists.
McDavid set a new National Hockey League record on the night, surpassing Adam Oates by being involved in all nine of his team's goals to begin a season.
"It's whatever," McDavid said. "I don't think it's a stat we should be proud of. We found a way to get a goal at the end, so we never have to talk about it again."
McLellan thought differently of the feat, saying: "It's remarkable. Doesn't surprise me the player that did it."
Cam Talbot stopped 29 of 33 shots, coming up clutch late to preserve the Oilers chances at winning.
Down 4-1 to enter the final 20 minutes of play, the Oilers got to work in erasing the seemingly out of reach deficit.
The comeback started just 18 seconds into the third period after Rattie roofed the puck over Hellebuyck.
Not long after, McDavid slammed home his second power-play goal of the night to get Edmonton within one.
"He's our captain, he's our leader he's, in my opinion, the best player on Earth right now," McLellan said of McDavid. "He decided he was going to will his team to a win."

Late in the third after a Milan Lucic penalty, Puljujarvi redirected Nugent-Hopkins' centring feed to knot the game up at 4-4.
"Other lines found a way to keep momentum alive," McLellan added.
Nurse then flashed his hands in OT, scoring at 1:25 of the extra session.
"I found the hole... and just tried to make a play for the guys," said Nurse, who now has three points in four games.
The Jets experienced a smooth takeoff against the Oilers on Tuesday, wasting no time in applying pressure against the visitors. Winnipeg registered two quick shots on goal within the opening minute of the game.
Talbot did his best to keep Winnipeg from lift-off but a pair of Adam Lowry markers put the Jets up by a pair early.
On his first, the forward skated out from the corner and shovelled the puck far side on Talbot. No more than four minutes later, Lowry deposited his own rebound for his second of the period.
Edmonton - at one point being outshot 9-2 in the opening frame - gained their legs as the period continued. While on the power play, McDavid got his club on the board after a soaring rush to the net.
The Oilers Captain got the puck from Leon Draisaitl as he was skating at Internet speed. Jets defender Jacob Trouba couldn't keep McDavid to the outside, as the centre cut to the middle and shifted to his backhand to beat Hellebuyck.

McDavid made it six consecutive goals he's been involved in, becoming the 11th Oilers skater since 1987-88 to do so.
Ben Chariot spoiled any semblence of a comeback at the time, replying swiftly for Winnipeg. The defender blasted the puck past a screened Talbot to re-gain the Jets' two-goal edge.
Winnipeg added to their lead in the second period while on the man-advantage, making it 4-1 Jets. Patrik Laine's one-timer from the half wall was kicked out by Talbot but the puck found Mark Scheifele on the doorstep. He pounced it home to give Winnipeg the three-goal lead.
"The first two periods, we got off to a bad start again," said McDavid. "We got to find a way to not spot them one or two off the hop."
But the Oilers turned the tide in the third, overcoming the Jets' lead and toppling them in overtime.
The club finish their extended road trip 2-2-0.
"We'll take it," said McDavid. "We start 0-2-0 on the road trip then find a way to get two wins in two tough buildings, especially this one. We'll definitely take it heading home... It proves that we can compete with anyone."
The club will return to Edmonton for their home opener against Boston on Thursday.
