Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman also scored for the Oilers (30-24-8) who had lost five of their previous six. It was Edmonton's first home game in an entire month.
Drake Batherson scored twice for the second straight game and Dylan Cozens and Michael Amadio also scored for the Senators (29-22-9), who have been working hard to qualify for the playoffs, now 6-1-2 in their last nine games.
