Niederreiter scored two goals, McElhinney stopped the final 40 shots he faced, and the Hurricanes beat the Oilers 3-1 on Friday night. Edmonton is 1-7-2 in its last 10 and was held to two or fewer goals in six of those games, all regulation losses. “We’re just not finding a way to score.”The well-travelled McElhinney improved to 7-0-0 against Edmonton — his best career record against any opponent. Niederreiter then gave Carolina a two-goal lead with 3:37 left by taking a feed from Aho and slipping a knuckler past Koskinen. Goals from Niederreiter and Wallmark sandwiched Draisaitl’s slick goal on a give-and-go, before things tightened up the rest of the way.
