Devon Levi made 20 saves for his first NHL shutout and Connor McDavid extended his season-opening point streak to 21 games as the Edmonton Oilers downed Toronto 1-0 to hand the Maple Leafs their sixth straight home loss Saturday.

Evan Bouchard scored for Edmonton (15-3-3), which improved to 7-1-1 over its last nine games.

McDavid picked up an assist to give him an eye-popping 50 points (11 goals, 39 assists) and add to his league lead.

Anthony Stolarz stopped 22 shots for Toronto (8-12-2), which suffered its sixth consecutive regulation loss to complete a disastrous six-game stretch at Scotiabank Arena.

The goaltender started consecutive games for the first time this season with Sergei Bobrovsky struggling to find traction after signing with the Maple Leafs in free agency on July 1.

Toronto, which dropped to 1-8-0 over its last nine contests, picked up a 7-2 victory in Edmonton on Oct. 24.
