Connor McDavid ended a 10-game goalless drought with the overtime winner as the Edmonton Oilers beat the St. Louis Blues 3-2 Wednesday night at Rogers Place.
The Oilers were slow out of the gate and fell behind 2-0 before the game was five minutes old. With Leon Draisaitl in the box for high sticking, Robert Thomas sniped a power play goal. Then Jordan Kyrou set up Pavel Buchnevich for a close-range strike.
“(It was) a tough five minutes and we were lucky to get out of it just down two,” Connor McDavid said. “But we didn’t let it get to three and we clawed our way back in and scored a big goal at the end of the first to make it a game again.”
