EDMONTON, Alberta -- Connor McDavid wanted to start things right at Rogers Place, the new home of the Edmonton Oilers.McDavid scored two straight goals in the second period and had an assist, lifting the Edmonton Oilers over the Calgary Flames 7-4 on Wednesday night in the first game at Rogers Place.The night began with a ceremony where former Oilers greats Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier figuratively passed the torch to the 19-year-old phenom, the youngest captain in NHL history.The anticipation for this game was huge and the fans were excited and all the greats were in the building, McDavid said. It was an exciting night for our whole organization and it was a good way to start it.Im kind of happy its over. Ill definitely take a lot of good memories from tonight and move on with those.Edmonton led the season opener 3-1 after one period on goals by Patrick Maroon, Tyler Pitlick and Zack Kassian. Alex Chiasson had a first-period score for the Flames.Troy Brouwer and Michael Frolik scored in the second period to tie it 3-3, but then McDavid got goals with 7:43 and 5:27 left in the second for a two-goal lead -- the second score came on a penalty shot.First-round pick Jesse Puljujarvi scored for Edmonton in his NHL debut in the third period. Dennis Wideman had the final goal for Calgary, and then Jordan Eberle added an empty-netter.Cam Talbot stopped 37 shots for Edmonton.Brian Elliott made 21 saves in his first game with the Flames. Elliott was traded from St. Louis to Calgary in the offseason.It was kind of one of those nights where everything that could go wrong, did go wrong, Elliott said. Thats not the way you want to start the season.The Oilers moved into Rogers Place this year after 42 seasons at Rexall Place.McDavid snapped a 3-all tie with his first goal, banking in a backhand shot. He then scored his penalty shot goal minutes later, approaching Elliott slowly and beating the goalie following a series of quick dekes.He was Connor. He was our leader. He had fire in his eyes, said coach Todd McLellan.The first shot in the new arena yielded the first goal when Maroon tipped Leon Draisaitls shot past Elliott 1:10 into the game.Chiasson scored 36 seconds later, swinging out from behind the net and then batting in his own rebound behind Talbot.At 5:34, Pitlick gave Edmonton two goals on two shots, ending a 2-on-1 break by beating Elliott up high.Kassian added to the Oilers lead with 4:48 left in the first, taking a long pass from Oscar Klefbom and making a nifty move to beat Elliott.Brouwer intercepted a pass and scored on a short-handed breakaway 8:26 into the second, and then Frolik capitalized on a turnover by Milan Lucic to tie it with 9:09 left in the period.After McDavids goals, Puljujarvi scored 9 minutes into the third on a power play. Wideman made it 6-4 with 8:31 left, but then Eberle scored into an empty net with 1:22 left.Game notes The 2016 first-round draft selections for both teams made their NHL debuts in the game, as fourth overall pick Puljujarvi dressed for Edmonton and sixth overall selection Matthew Tkachuk played for Calgary. ...

Last weekends Northern Arena BEAT Invitational saw eight teams assemble in Montreal for one of the few Dota 2 LANs left before the Boston Major. Through three days of play, two teams met in the grand finals: the Chinese Goliath, Wings Gaming, and the North American David, Team NP.Wings dominance at Northern Arena was unquestionable, as the victor of The International 6 dropped only a single game on its rampage through the upper bracket. Taking out regional rivals EHOME, American qualifier FDL and stomping NP into the lower bracket in the semifinals, Wings looked like not a day had passed since the teams run in Seattle.But whereas Wings was maintaining its streak of atypical drafting and consistent play across picks, Team NP brought an element of the unknown to the table. Comparisons of NP to Cloud9s Dota 2 days are not unfounded; besides boasting similar rosters, Jacky EternaLEnVy Mao and the rest of NP exhibit the same ability to inject chaos into a professional match. While NP was dropped into the lower bracket by Wings, the newly formed North American squad fought through elimination matches against Alliance, Evil Geniuses and EHOME to earn a second shot at the TI6 champs.In an abnormal best-of-three grand finals, Team NP came out swinging with a tried-and-true lineup oriented around Kurtis Aui_2000 Lings Drow Ranger and Maos Mirana. The push-heavy composition, bolstered by some fantastic play from Theeban 1437 Silvas Rubick, helped secure an early advantage against Wings, putting the giant down two barracks and facing an 0-1 start to the series.ddddddddddddWhen it came time to close the match out, however, NP was consistently rebuffed from Wings high ground, only able to make dents at best, and all the while Chu shadow Zeyu slowly accumulated a massive gold lead on his Juggernaut. Eventually Zeyu hit critical mass, with NP expending all options and still failing to halt Wings from striking back and seizing the first win.On match point, Team NP turned to comfort picks. Lings Sven and Maos Invoker have become fallbacks for the roster, and for good reason; in the teams short lifespan, it boasts a 60 percent win rate when Ling is on Sven, 58 percent for Maos Invoker and a 55 percent win rate when both are on their respective heroes.Wings read the draft though, seemingly baiting out the Invoker and responding with an Alchemist mid for Zhou bLink Yang. Hitting huge net worths, grabbing an uncontested item stock of Armelt, Radiance and Boots of Travel in 15 minutes, the writing was on the wall. A few team fights went NPs way, but Yangs ever-farming Alchemist just meant that NP was delaying the inevitable. Wings took the ancient and the series in 36-minutes, ending their run on a 2-0 grand finals in Montreal.Four of the eight teams who were at the BEAT Invitational, including Wings and NP, will meet again this coming weekend at The Summit 6 in Los Angeles before heading off to compete in the Boston Major on Dec. 3.
