Maccelli scores 2 as Maple Leafs beat Oilers 5-2, head into Olympic break with 3 straight wins
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Matias Maccelli scored twice and the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 on Tuesday night. Matthew Knies added a goal and an assist for Toronto (27-21-9). John Tavares scored his 20th of the season and Bobby McMann added an empty-netter.

The Edmonton Oilers are actively exploring a trade for Nashville Predators center Ryan O’Reilly to strengthen their lineup before the NHL trade deadline. Recent losses and center depth concerns exposed roster gaps despite a strong position in the standings.
