Oilers edge Canadiens 4-3 on Dominik Kahun's overtime winner

MONTREAL — The Montreal Canadiens can start thinking about playoffs, while the Edmonton Oilers aren't quite there yet following a 4-3 overtime win Wednesday over the Habs.

Edmonton's Dominik Kahun scored the first overtime winner of his career 27 seconds into the extra period on a feed from fellow-German Leon Draisaitl.

The Oilers posted back-to-back OT wins at the Bell Centre following Monday's 4-3 victory, in which captain Connor McDavid scored the winner.

Kahun was surprised it was him, and not McDavid, sent out with Draisaitl in OT on Wednesday.

"Of course I was thinking my game was probably over," Kahun said.
