The Edmonton Oilers have returned to winning ways. They won their third straight game, beating the Seattle Kraken 4-3 (OT) at home on Wednesday.
This was perhaps the Oilers' best game of the season. Following Connor McDavid's goal in the first period, the Oilers fell behind and found themselves chasing the Kraken until the end of the second period, trailing 3-1.
In the third period, though, the Edmonton Oilers highlighted their teamwork and urgency. The Oilers staged an outstanding comeback in the third, with Evander Kane stepping up to be the team's clutch player. He scored two goals in the third before completing his natural hattrick in overtime to seal a much-needed win for Edmonton.
