Rookie Jason Arnott scored only 49 seconds into the game Wednesday, then added another goal to power the Oilers to a 6-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs at Edmonton, Canada.

Arnott, a 19-year-old center, slipped behind the Toronto defense and banged home Zdeno Ciger’s pass from behind the net.

He then scored the game-winning goal 53 seconds into the third period when Ciger, who had four assists, sent him in alone on goal.
