Overview

  • Evan Bouchard scored 47 seconds into overtime to give the Oilers a 3-2 win over the Flyers on Wednesday.
  • Tristan Jarry stopped 30 shots in the game as Edmonton’s goaltending has improved to an NHL-best .918 save percentage since Oct. 3.
  • Zach Hyman scored two goals in the win and the Oilers matched their second-best 20-game start in franchise history at 14-3-3.
  • Connor McDavid extended his season-opening point streak to 20 games and leads the league with 49 points while McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Evan Bouchard rank as the NHL’s top three scorers.
  • The victory begins a multi-game road trip and underscores organizational depth as Devon Levi continues strong play and Frederik Andersen is expected to return early next year while the Flyers reinstated Rasmus Ristolainen to their lineup.
