Connor McDavid's magic helps Oilers to comeback win over Blue Jackets

Connor McDavid had two goals and Jack Roslovic scored 56 seconds into overtime to help the Edmonton Oilers rally for a 5-4 win over the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday.

Roslovic, the Columbus native and former Blue Jacket, lifted a backhand by Jet Greaves on a breakaway for the OT winner.

Jake Walman had two goals and an assist and Roslovic also had an assist for the Oilers, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Stuart Skinner made 15 saves.

Adam Fantilli and Boone Jenner each had a goal and an assist, and Jet Greaves made 19 saves for the Blue Jackets, who have lost four straight (0-3-1).

Walman pinched and put a flutter shot from low in the left circle over Greaves' right arm to tie it 4-4 at 19:02.

McDavid narrowed the deficit to 4-3 at 13:39 of the third period. He drove down the right side and then cut to the net and slid it by Greaves' right skate.

Ivan Provorov gave the Blue Jackets a 1-0 lead at 11:42 of the first period, taking a pass from Damon Severson at the blue line and quickly firing a snap shot that beat a screened Skinner on his glove side.

Walman tied it 1-1 at 17:28. Vasily Podkolzin rimmed the puck up the right wall to Walman at the point, and the defenseman snapped a rising shot that went over Greaves and under the bar.

Monahan struck at 1:39 of the second period to put Columbus ahead 2-1, jumping on a rebound in front and sliding a backhand under the goalie's left pad.

Jenner redirected a feed from Dante Fabbro at the top of the crease to make it 3-1 at 18:02.

McDavid pulled Edmonton within one when he spun around Denton Mateychuk and roofed a backhand from the inner side of the right circle 58 seconds into the third period.

Fantilli pushed it to 4-2 at 4:19. With the teams skating 4-on-4, Kirill Marchenko collected a loose puck, toe-dragged through two Oilers, and dished a backhand pass to Fantilli down low, where he snapped it by Skinner.
