Walman’s OT Power-Play Goal Lifts Oilers Past Senators 3-2

Jake Walman’s power-play goal at 2:24 of overtime lifted the Edmonton Oilers to a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday, snapping a three-game losing streak.

The Oilers (3-3-1) concluded their five-game road trip (2-3-0) with the win, handing the Senators their second consecutive loss at home. Walman made his season debut after missing the first six games with an undisclosed injury.

The Senators (2-4-0) staged a late rally, scoring twice in a span of 1:25 early in the third period to tie the game at 2-2, but were unable to complete the comeback. Ottawa’s goals came after a fierce puck battle along the boards, as Drake Batherson set up Dylan Cozens for a power-play score past Stuart Skinner, who made 19 saves. Just over a minute later, Thomas Chabot scored his first of the season, beating a screened Skinner to even the game.

Edmonton opened the scoring late in the first period with a power-play goal. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins fed Connor McDavid, who fired a quick shot from the top of the faceoff circle for his first goal of the season.

The Oilers extended their lead to 2-0 just 49 seconds into the second period following a Senators turnover. Leon Draisaitl skated in and set up rookie Isaac Howard, who scored his first career NHL goal past Linus Ullmark, who finished with 22 saves.

• Senators: Ottawa lacked intensity through the first 40 minutes and only sparked a comeback in the third period.

• Oilers: After giving up two quick goals in the third, Edmonton held on and forced overtime to secure the win.

In overtime, Ullmark made consecutive saves on Evan Bouchard, keeping Ottawa in contention before Walman’s decisive goal.

Adam Henrique of Edmonton played in his 1,000th NHL game Tuesday, marking a significant milestone in his career.
