Connor McDavid's two goals, including a pivotal one in the third period, propelled the Edmonton Oilers to a 4-3 overtime victory against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night. The win, which took place at the Hurricanes' home arena, saw Edmonton bounce back after a previous loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Oilers established an early lead in the first period, with Jack Roslovic, in his first game against his former team, scoring just under four minutes into the game. Roslovic capitalized on a Hurricanes turnover and beat Frederik Andersen to notch his sixth goal of the season. McDavid then increased the lead to 2-0 with a power-play goal at 6:30 of the first. However, the Hurricanes responded before the end of the period, as Eric Robinson, celebrating his 400th NHL game, scored off a tic-tac-toe passing play involving Taylor Hall and Shayne Gostisbehere. Despite being outshot 13-8, the Oilers maintained a 2-1 lead after the first.

Nikolaj Ehlers scored the lone goal of the second period for the Hurricanes, assisted by Jackson Blake and Logan Stankoven. Ehlers' goal extended his point streak to seven games.

The third period saw McDavid score his second of the night at 5:46, assisted by Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman. Jordan Staal then scored for the Hurricanes, tying the game at 3-3 with about six and a half minutes left in regulation.

The game went to overtime, where Leon Draisaitl sealed the victory for the Oilers just 19 seconds into the extra period. Draisaitl was assisted by Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard.

Overall, it was a tightly contested match where the Oilers managed to capitalize on their opportunities. Andersen made several key saves for the Hurricanes, but ultimately, the Oilers' offense, led by McDavid and Draisaitl, proved to be the difference.
