Jack Roslovic Delivers Second Straight OT Winner, Becomes Second Oiler to Do It

The late free-agent addition has quickly become a clutch finisher for a team seeking steadier results.

Overview

  • Roslovic ended a 2-1 game in Philadelphia with an overtime goal created by a Cam York turnover that sprang a 2-on-0 with Matthew Savoie.
  • He also scored the Monday overtime winner against his former team, Columbus, after Connor McDavid netted two third‑period goals to force extra time.
  • Sportsnet Stats notes he is only the second player in franchise history with OT winners in back-to-back games, joining Andrew Cogliano’s 2008 run.
  • The win snapped a three-game Oilers skid in Philadelphia and gave Edmonton consecutive victories for just the third time this season.
  • Edmonton has a quick turnaround with a rematch against the Blue Jackets up next on Thursday.
