Hyman scored his 51st goal of the season on his own rebound 1:22 into overtime to lift the Edmonton Oilers to a 4-3 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday.“He’s a big-time player for us and he shows up time in and time again in big moments and we’re lucky to have him,” said Brown, who also scored.Edmonton led 3-1 six minutes into the third period, but Winnipeg goals one minute apart by Brenden Dillon and Sean Monahan tied it at 10:39.
“I don’t know if it’s worse that you didn’t do it or that you did do it,” Nugent-Hopkins said. “Regardless, you’re sitting in the box with two minutes left.Nugent-Hopkins had a goal and assist and Leon Draisaitl also scored for the Oilers . Connor McDavid contributed a pair of helpers, extending his point streak to five games with one goal and 12 assists.Mason Appleton also scored for the Jets . Neal Pionk had a pair of assists.
“The first period shows you how good we can be and then the second period just shows you how bad we are when we get away from the way we're supposed to play,” Jets head coach Rick Bowness said. Brown was then dinged for a high-sticking double minor, but Winnipeg didn’t get a shot on goal during the four-minute advantage.“We had a hard time getting into the zone and establish something, some good looks, some shots,” Jets forward Nino Niederreiter said. “You look at Edmonton, how they move the puck around. How they attack tonight.”The Oilers went up 3-1 on the power play after Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers received a double minor for high-sticking.
