Bouchard's goal in OT leads visiting Oilers over Stars

-

Evan Bouchard scored his second goal 30 seconds into overtime, and seven seconds into a power play, to lift the visiting Edmonton Oilers to a 4-3 win over the Dallas Stars on Saturday.

Corey Perry had a goal and an assist and Derek Ryan also scored for the Oilers, who are 3-3-0 following a 16-game winning streak that fell one short of tying the league record. They're 6-1 following regulation this season, 4-1 in overtime.

It was the second overtime winner this season within five weeks for Bouchard, who said he wasn't sure the puck would go in when he shot after skating down the slot. Edmonton played 4 on 3 following a hooking penalty on Wyatt Johnston.

“I saw their D man (Ryan Suter) put a screen for me,” Bouchard said. “I figured I'd put it on the net.”

The defenseman's 14 goals and 50 points this season are career highs.

The goal was the Oilers' first on four power plays, Dallas having killed their opponents' previous 10 penalties through four games.

Edmonton's Connor McDavid had an assist, giving him 13 in the last five games.

Matt Duchene had a goal and two assists while Mason Marchment and Thomas Harley had a goal and an assist each for the Stars, who had a three-game winning streak snapped. Jake Oettinger made 20 saves and had a personal seven-game winning streak snapped.

Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl had two assists.

New Jersey captain Nico Hishier had two goals and an assist and the Devils never looked back in beating visiting Philadelph­ia before 70,328 fans at MetLife Stadium. Nico Daws made 43 saves in the event that kicked off two consecutiv­e days of hockey at the home of the NFL's Jets and Giants.

Owen Tippett scored twice and Nick Seeler added another for the Flyers.

This is the first time the NHL's Stadium Series will have games on consecutiv­e days with fans. The Islanders and Rangers play this afternoon in another Metropolit­an Division rivalry game.
