The Edmonton Oilers beat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in overtime Wednesday, with Evan Bouchard scoring 47 seconds into the extra period after Philadelphia rallied from a 2-0 deficit. Zach Hyman scored twice for Edmonton, while Tyson Foerster and Travis Sanheim netted the Flyers’ goals. Connor McDavid extended his season-opening point streak to 20 games, and the Oilers improved to 14-3-3 with their third straight win. Philadelphia earned a point for the third consecutive game, but has lost four of its last five; despite recent reports of friction involving Matvei Michkov, the Flyers showed a united effort and generated chances before falling short.

Howard left unable to put weight on his leg, though Edmonton’s coach said the injury appeared less serious than it first looked; further discipline for Heineman remained uncertain.
