Zach Hyman extends streak, Oilers top Senators

Senators, Oilers

Zach Hyman extended his goal streak to six games and Stuart Skinner made 20 saves as the Edmonton Oilers moved into second place in the Pacific Division with a 3-1 victory over the visiting Ottawa Senators on Sunday night.

Hyman’s go-ahead goal in the second period enabled him to match his career-high goal streak. Viktor Arvidsson had a goal and an assist and Adam Henrique also scored for Edmonton, which won for the 11th time in its last 13 games and leapfrogged the Los Angeles Kings into second place, three points behind the first-place Vegas Golden Knights.

Nick Cousins scored for Ottawa, which had a six-game win streak — its longest since March of 2017 — snapped.

Linus Ullmark, who entered the contest with a personal seven-game win streak for the Senators, departed at the end of the first period with an upper-body injury after making six saves. Leevi Merilainen, who picked up his first NHL win on Saturday at Vancouver, finished up and stopped 12 of 14 shots.

Edmonton took a 1-0 lead at the 14:26 mark of the first period when Arvidsson knocked in Connor McDavid’s crossing pass from the left corner inside the right post.

Ottawa tied it 25 seconds into the second period when Cousins stole the puck from Evan Bouchard at the blue line and then went in on a breakaway and roofed a wrist shot into the top-left corner of the net.

Hyman put the Oilers back in front with a power-play goal, sweeping in a rebound of a Arvidsson shot into an open right side of the net for his 10th over the last nine games.

Henrique extended the lead to 3-1 early in the third period with his first goal in 16 games dating back to Nov. 16, burying a wrist shot from the high slot off a Mattias Janmark setup.

Ottawa pulled Merilainen for an extra attacker with 3:21 remaining but Skinner turned away all four Senators shots on goal down the stretch to seal the win.
