EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — The Edmonton Oilers finally feel as though they got the result they deserved from the work they’ve put in.
Connor McDavid scored in overtime and added an assist as the Oilers snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the New York Islanders on Thursday.
“We have been playing some good hockey, we just haven’t been finding a way to win the games,” McDavid said. “Tonight we stuck with it all night long. I thought we were the better team all night and we finally got rewarded at the end.
