Oilers Snap Three-Game Skid with OT Win

The Edmonton Oilers snapped a three-game losing streak with an overtime win over the Ottawa Senators, closing a five-game road trip 2-3-0. Coach Kris Knoblauch praised the team's competitiveness but urged steadier 60-minute efforts as Edmonton looks to find consistency. The Oilers activated defenseman Jake Walman from injured reserve to try to spark the offense amid ongoing struggles from top players; Leon Draisaitl publicly shouldered blame and Connor McDavid remained without a goal so far. Ottawa coach Travis Green lauded his roster’s coachability, veteran David Perron has two goals in two games, and the Senators’ power play sits near 25%. Both teams are focused on building consistency and establishing strong habits as the season progresses.
