UNDATED (AP) — Morgan Rielly scored twice and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the New York Rangers 2-1 for their 10th victory in 11 games.

The Rangers came in with four straight victories, and had earned points in eight of their last nine, but were unable to generate much of an attack until the third period. Jack Campbell made 27 saves for Toronto.

Elsewhere in the NHL:

— The Carolina Hurricanes snapped the Anaheim Ducks’ eight-game winning streak with a 2-1 victory.

Ethan Bear scored his first goal of the season and Frederik Andersen made 31 saves against his former team for the Hurricanes, who improved to 13-2-0.

— Connor McDavid scored in regulation and the shootout, as the Edmonton Oilers beat the Winnipeg Jets 2-1. Rookie goaltender Stuart Skinner made 45 saves and was perfect on two shootout attempts for the Oilers, who improved to 7-1-1 at home. Kyle Turris also scored in the shootout.
