Evan Bouchard's OT goal pushes Oilers past Blackhawks

Evan Bouchard scored at 2:43 of overtime to lift the Edmonton Oilers to a 3-2 win against the visiting Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night.

Spencer Knight made a save on a one-timer by Bouchard, but he scored the rebound to give Edmonton the win.

Bouchard and Leon Draisaitl each had a goal and an assist, Jack Roslovic also scored, Connor McDavid had three assists, and Stuart Skinner made 27 saves for the Oilers, who have won three of four.

Andre Burakovski had a goal and an assist, Tyler Bertuzzi scored and Knight made 27 saves for the Blackhawks, who have lost three of four.

Draisaitl appeared to score through the pads of Knight on a power play late in the first period, but it was determined after a video review that the puck crossed the goal line after the period had expired.

After the scoreless first period, Draisaitl then scored on a one-timer from the right circle off a feed from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead at 54 seconds of the second.

The Blackhawks were on a power play when they tied it 1-1 at 8:32 of the second.

Connor Bedard controlled the puck along the wall before skating into the right circle and centering a pass that Bertuzzi redirected into the net for his third goal of the season.

The Oilers scored on the power play to move back ahead 2-1 at 17:17 of the second period.

Roslovic received a pass above the right circle from McDavid and took a couple strides toward the dot before scoring with a wrist shot.

Chicago tied it 2-2 at 3:19 of the third when Ryan Greene made a pass from behind the net to Artyom Levshunov and his shot was saved by Skinner, but Burakovsky scored the rebound.
