In a thrilling overtime finish, the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Montreal Canadiens 3-2, ending a rough stretch of six losses in their last seven games. Evan Bouchard stood out, scoring the game-winner and contributing an assist, while Leon Draisaitl continued his scoring prowess with a goal and an assist, marking his 46th goal of the season. Connor McDavid also played a crucial role, assisting twice in the match.

The Canadiens, who had a five-game winning streak snapped, saw Cole Caulfield and Joel Armia find the net, but fell just short in the end. Notable performances included Stuart Skinner, who made 26 saves for the Oilers, outpacing Sam Montembeault’s 29 saves for Montreal. Both forwards Draisaitl and Caulfield showcased their scoring skills, being the only players in the NHL with over 20 even-strength and 10 power-play goals this season.
