Dahlin joined Lindy Ruff as the second defenseman in franchise history to score in each of the first three games in a season.

Darnell Nurse and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had goals for Oilers. They are 1-2.

Buffalo took a 2-1 lead 46 seconds into the second period when Thompson danced around defenders and made a nice move at the net to slide the puck past goalie Stuart Skinner.
