Adam Fox and Brayden Schneider each had a goal and an assist, Artemi Panarin had two assists and Alexis Lafreniere also scored for Metro Division-leading New York, which has won five of its first seven games this season.

Schneider increased the lead to 2-0 with his first goal of the season, creeping in from the blue line and firing a wrist shot from above the circles through traffic and past Skinner's blocker side.

Lafreniere scored for the third straight game and for the fourth time this season. At the 18:09 mark, he hit a one-timer off one knee from the right faceoff dot, off Panarin's cross-ice setup.

Edmonton, serenaded with boos at the end of the second period and also at the end of the game, had its best scoring chance with 7:15 remaining: Zach Hyman broke in free down the slot, but Quick gloved his wrist shot.
