It was Draisaitl’s first five-point game since Dec. 13, 2022. He got the secondary assist on Evan Bouchard’s game-winning goal at 1:50 of overtime, which came on a one-timer from the top of the left circle while Edmonton was on a power play.<\/p>\n
That came after Zach Hyman tied it 4-4 with 1:25 remaining in regulation by tapping in a backdoor pass from Draisaitl at the right post.<\/p>\n
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored, and Connor McDavid had two assists for the Oilers (30-24-8), who had lost five of their previous six games. Connor Ingram made 17 saves.<\/p>\n
Drake Batherson scored two goals, and Tim Stutzle had two assists for the Senators (29-22-9), who extended their point streak to four games (2-0-2) and are 6-1-2 in their past nine. Linus Ullmark made 32 saves.<\/p>\n
Dylan Cozens put Ottawa ahead 1-0 at 3:34 of the first period. Nick Cousins couldn’t handle Thomas Chabot’s pass while entering the zone on a rush, but Cozens was able to settle it in the right circle and roof a shot over Ingram’s glove.<\/p>\n
Draisaitl tied it 1-1 at 5:03. Ullmark thought he covered Mattias Ekholm’s initial shot, but Matt Savoie poked the loose puck back down to Ekholm, who had skated below the goal line. The defenseman then sent a pass back through the five-hole of a scrambling Ullmark to Draisaitl, who shot into an open net from the right circle.<\/p>\n
Batherson put the Senators back in front 2-1 while on a power play at 6:34. He took a cross-ice pass from Brady Tkachuk and scored top shelf to the far post with a wrist shot from the left circle.<\/p>\n
Draisaitl tied it again 2-2 at 16:48 when his centering pass from behind the net hit off the stick of Batherson before deflecting in off the skate of Senators defenseman Nick Jensen.<\/p>\n
The Senators took their third lead of the game at 4:30 of the second period. Tim Stutzle picked up the puck following a turnover by the Oilers in the defensive zone and sent Batherson a cross-ice pass for a backdoor tap-in at the right post.<\/p>\n
Michael Amadio pushed it 4-2 just 41 seconds later. Oilers defenseman Spencer Stastney kicked the puck out during a scramble in the crease only to have it go right to Jensen, who slid it over to Amadio for a one-timer from the slot.<\/p>\n
Nugent-Hopkins cut the deficit to 4-3 on a power play at 1:52 of the third period. Draisaitl’s one-timer from below the right circle deflected in off him as he was attempting to jump out of the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was Draisaitl’s first five-point game since Dec. 13, 2022.
