Leon Draisaitl scored 3:16 into overtime as the Edmonton Oilers came away with a 3-2 victory over the visiting Anaheim Ducks on Saturday.
Drake Caggiula and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored for the Oilers (14-10-2), who have won two in a row. Jordan Eberle assisted on all three goals.
Ryan Kesler and Rickard Rakell replied for the Ducks (12-8-5), who had a three-game winning streak come to an end.
It was pretty even through the scoreless first period, with Anaheim putting eight shots on Edmonton starter Cam Talbot and the Oilers getting seven on Ducks goalie John Gibson.
The Oilers took the lead on the power play five minutes into the second period as Patrick Maroon fed a puck through to Caggiula and he had Gibson going the wrong way to record his first career NHL goal.
The Ducks responded midway through the middle frame with a power-play goal of their own, as Kesler swept in a puck from the doorstep for his ninth of the season.
Edmonton regained the lead with 6:25 to play in the second period when Nugent-Hopkins stepped in from the point and beat Gibson with a wrist shot from the top of the circle one second after a power play expired. It was his fourth of the year.
The Ducks tied up the game again midway through the third as a shot deflected out front to Rakell, who put his team-leading 10th goal of the season into a wide-open net.
Talbot had to be especially solid for the remainder of the third to push the game into extra time, where Draisaitl would take a feed in front from Andrej Sekera and score his 10th goal of the season to secure the win.
Both teams are back at it on Sunday night, with the Oilers hosting the Minnesota Wild and the Ducks travelling to Calgary to face the Flames.
