Jack Roslovic scored in overtime for the second straight game Wednesday, lifting the Edmonton Oilers to a 2-1 road victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.
Just over a minute into OT, Philadelphia’s Cam York mishandled a puck near center ice, giving Matt Savoie and Roslovic a 2-on-0 breakaway. Savoie slipped a pass across to Roslovic, who roofed a one-timer past Dan Vladar.
Roslovic also netted the game-winner in Edmonton’s 5-4 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday.
Evan Bouchard also scored in this one for the Oilers, who were playing the opener of a seven-game road trip. Stuart Skinner made 20 saves for the visitors.
Vladar made 30 stops for Philadelphia, which had a goal overturned in the final minute of regulation. Matvei Michkov scored the only goal for the Flyers, who have lost four straight home games.
Edmonton opened the scoring with just under a minute left in the first period. Connor McDavid picked up a loose puck and found Bouchard in the high slot for a one-timer that whizzed past Vladar.
Michkov tied it with 4:22 left in the second period, scoring in a third straight game for the first time in his career. The second-year Russian found some space above the left circle and snapped a wrister that got by Skinner.
Travis Konecny had an assist on Michkov’s goal, giving him a point in eight consecutive games.
Skinner helped keep the game scoreless midway through the third, making key stops on Tyson Foerster and Trevor Zegras. Shortly thereafter, Noah Cates tried to tuck one inside the post, but Skinner’s pad got there first.
With about 1 1/2 minutes left in regulation, Vladar made a shoulder save on McDavid on an offensive rush.
Konecny scored what appeared to be the decisive goal with 23.5 seconds left in regulation, but the goal was overturned on replay after it was determined Philadelphia was offsides entering the zone.
The Flyers welcomed Foerster back to the lineup after he missed the previous four games with a lower-body injury. He had two shots and was a minus-1 in nearly 20 minutes of ice time.
