Connor McDavid set up Zach Hyman’s power-play goal in the second period Wednesday to extend his season-opening point streak to 20 games. Evan Bouchard scored 47 seconds into overtime to give the Edmonton Oilers a 3–2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers at Rogers Place.
McDavid became the fourth player in NHL history to record a point in each of his team’s first 20 games of a season. The streak matches his career high. The Edmonton captain leads the NHL with 49 points on 11 goals and 38 assists.
Hyman scored both Edmonton goals in regulation. Philadelphia came back from 2–0 down to force overtime, where Bouchard converted a pass from Leon Draisaitl. Tristan Jarry made 30 saves for Edmonton, which won its third straight game.
