EDMONTON \u2014 Leon Draisaitl<\/a> had two goals and three assists and Evan Bouchard<\/a> scored the overtime winner as the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> overcame a two-goal deficit through 40 minutes to emerge with a badly-needed 5-4 victory over the Ottawa Senators<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

With Brady Tkachuk<\/a> in the penalty box for tackling Connor McDavid<\/a> in overtime, Edmonton got it back to Bouchard and he blasted in his 18th of the season for the come-from-behind win.<\/p>\n

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins<\/a> and Zach Hyman<\/a> also scored for the Oilers (30-24-8) who had lost five of their previous six. It was Edmonton\u2019s first home game in an entire month.<\/p>\n

Drake Batherson<\/a> had two goals for the second consecutive game and Dylan Cozens<\/a> and Michael Amadio<\/a> also scored for the Senators (29-22-9) who have been pushing hard to get into the wild-card playoff picture, now 6-1-2 in their last nine games.<\/p>\n

Connor Ingram<\/a> made 17 stops to earn the victory in the Edmonton net, while Linus Ullmark<\/a> recorded 32 saves for Ottawa.<\/p>\n

TAKEAWAYS<\/p>\n

Senators: Despite battling an illness since returning from representing Germany in the Olympics, Tim St\u00fctzle<\/a> continues to put up numbers, picking up a pair of assists to extend his points streak to 10 games, during which he has accrued 14 points. He already has a 13-game point streak from earlier this season, allowing him to join Daniel Alfredsson<\/a> and Jason Spezza<\/a> as the only players in franchise history with multiple 10-game point streaks in the same season.<\/p>\n

Oilers: Rookie Matt Savoie<\/a> picked up an assist to extend his points streak to a career-high four games, with seven points in that span.<\/p>\n

KEY MOMENT<\/p>\n

The Oilers tied the game with just 1:25 remaining in the third period and their goalie pulled as Hyman tipped a Draisaitl pass under Ullmark for his 25th of the season to send the game to extra time.<\/p>\n

KEY STAT<\/p>\n

Draisaitl matched Jari Kurri<\/a> (1,043) for third on the franchise\u2019s all-time points list. He also recorded his 301st multi-point game, passing Mark Messier<\/a> for third most in Oilers history, behind Wayne Gretzky<\/a> (472) and current teammate McDavid (362).<\/p>\n

UP NEXT<\/p>\n

Senators: Visit the Calgary Flames<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Oilers: Host the Carolina Hurricanes<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n
