Evan Bouchard calls game in overtime as Oilers beat Blackhawks: Recap, Reaction and Highlights

And while Draisaitl appeared to score a power play in the final second of that first frame, the puck would cross the line right after the clock hit double zeros. He would make up for it 54 seconds into the second frame, firing a one-timer from his office.

Chicago would have a power play of their own eight and a half minutes into the second, where Connor Bedard fed Tyler Bertuzzi at the side of the net, knocking a puck in.

Elevated into the top-six alongside Draisaitl and Podkolzin in recent games, Jack Roslovic was also lifted to the top power play unit Saturday. He made the most of it, deflecting home a McDavid pass.

Edmonton’s lead was carried into the third period, until Andre Burakovsky tied it up just over three minutes into the frame.

With the game in overtime, Bouchard would ice it. Draisaitl took a McDavid pass circling to the top of the zone and to the left of Knight, allowing Bouchard to drift down into the slot. A backhand pass came his way, and while his first shot was blocked, he would take a second whack that would beat Knight.

The Oilers schedule continues with a two-game road trip to visit the St. Louis Blues Monday and the Dallas Stars Tuesday.
