Connor McDavid continues to dominate as Oilers overcome 2-0 deficit in OT win against Utah Hockey Club 

For the first time in their history, the Edmonton Oilers took their show on the road to Salt Lake City for their first matchup against the Utah Hockey Club. Formerly known as the Arizona Coyotes, the team moved to Utah this past offseason after years of uncertainty and financial strife in the desert.

In the end, it was the Oilers who came through with an overtime victory despite initially trailing by a pair of goals from the host Utah HC.

Alexander Kerfoot and Logan Cooley put Utah on the scoreboard first, taking a two-goal lead into the opening intermission.

But Edmonton's big guns would once again start firing. After Vasily Podkolzin's second goal of the year cut Utah's lead in half, the Oilers would take the lead thanks to consecutive power play goals from Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid.

Not surprisingly, McDavid picked up an assist on Draisaitl's goal.

The Utah HC tied the score in the third period thanks to Lawson Crouse, and the two teams were heading for overtime.

Struggling forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who had scored only twice all season, played the role of hero with the game-winner as he beat goaltender Karel Vajmelka:

Oilers goaltender Calvin Pickard made 28 saves in the win while Vajmelka also made 28 saves in a losing effort.

Here's a closer look at three big takeaways from Edmonton's' first trip to Salt Lake City.

3 major takeaways from Edmonton Oilers' 4-3 OT win over Utah Hockey Club

#3. The Oilers didn't wilt after falling behind by a pair of goals

Earlier in the season, the Oilers may have folded after falling into a two-goal hole.

Not so against Utah, as they battled their way back to take the lead and then secure the win in overtime. This kind of resilience goes a long way for a team expected to compete for a title this Spring.

#2. Edmonton's power play was effective

With the talent that the Oilers boast, it's a strange situation to see their power play ranked near the bottom of the NHL at 30th overall.

However, those numbers will improve after the Oilers successfully converted on two of three opportunities with the man advantage against Utah.

#1. Connor McDavid continues his god-like play

Not only is McDavid regarded as the best player in the National Hockey League, but he's also beginning to heat up his play – which is bad news for Edmonton's opposition.

He's currently on pace to eclipse the 100-point plateau yet again. McDavid has 30 points through 12 goals and 18 assists in 20 games this season.
