EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers have certainly displayed a flair for the dramatic of late.
Following much the same script from a 3-2 overtime victory over the Boston Bruins on Thursday, the Oilers scored a late goal to tie it and then won early in overtime, coming from behind to defeat the San Jose Sharks 3-2 on Saturday.
“These are always exciting and fun, if they go your way, of course,” Draisaitl said of the carbon copy cardiac contests. “I thought we’ve done a good job the last two nights of finding a way to put away the game. Zach Hyman also scored for the Oilers who have won 10 of their last 12 contests. Hyman now has nine goals in his last eight games since returning from an injury, giving him 12 goals on the season after scoring just three goals in his first 20 games.
McDavid had three assists to extend his own points streak to eight games, while Evan Bouchard had a pair of helpers.
