On Wednesday, Evan Bouchard scored the game-winning goal 47 seconds into overtime, lifting the Edmonton Oilers to a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers at Rogers Place.
Goaltender Tristan Jarry was stellar in net with 30 saves to improve to 5-1-3, while the Oilers matched their second-best franchise start through 20 games at 14-3-3.
Captain Connor McDavid extended his season-opening points streak to 20 games, tying his career high, while forward Zach Hyman scored a pair of goals for Edmonton.
