Walman Scores OT Winner in Season Debut as Oilers Halt Skid

The win caps a 2-3-0 road trip, with defensive structure still under scrutiny.

Overview

  • Edmonton beat Ottawa 3-2 on Jake Walman’s power-play goal at 2:24 of overtime after the Senators erased a 2-0 deficit early in the third.
  • The Oilers moved to 3-3-1 and finished their five-game trip 2-3-0 before returning home to face Montreal on Thursday.
  • Walman played his first game of the season after missing six contests with an undisclosed injury.
  • Rookie Isaac Howard scored his first NHL goal, and Adam Henrique reached the 1,000-game milestone.
  • Local analysis highlights an uptick in Grade A shots allowed and fewer chances created, as coaches shuffle lines—including a promotion for Vasily Podkolzin—and confirm Kasperi Kapanen will miss a few weeks.
