Nugent-Hopkins’ OT goal lifts Oilers past Utah Hockey Club

McDavid scored another power-play goal at 16:22 to put the Oilers ahead 3-2. He roofed a shot past Vejmelka’s glove from the left circle.

Crouse tied the game 3-3 at 3:42 of the third period, taking a pass from Nick Bjugstad and beating Pickard glove side from in tight.

“I think it just speaks volume to our character in our room, and there’s no quit on our team,” Crouse said. “We went right to the end. It’s unfortunate we didn’t get it done in overtime, but like I said, it’s a quick turnaround. Take the positives away from this, move on, and get ready for a big matchup tomorrow (against the Vegas Golden Knights).”

NOTES: McDavid (five goals, four assists) and Draisaitl (four goals, four assists) each extended his point streak to four games. … Cooley has six points (two goals, four assists) during his own four-game point streak.
