The Edmonton Oilers snapped a three-game losing streak with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night, in a game filled with milestones and dramatic swings. Here are four key takeaways from the Oilers' performance:

1. Walman's Timely Return and Game-Winning Goal: Jake Walman made a triumphant return to the lineup after missing the first six games due to injury. Activated off injured reserve just the day before, Walman scored the game-winning goal on the power play with just 2:24 remaining in overtime. His shot from the high slot beat Senators' goalie Linus Ullmark, securing the victory for Edmonton. Walman expressed relief and happiness to be back with the team, stating, "It was a long time sitting out, so probably a little relief...I'm just happy to be back, and we've got a great team".

2. Milestone Night for Oilers Veterans and Rookies: The game was significant for multiple Oilers players, marking important milestones in their careers. Veteran forward Adam Henrique played his 1,000th NHL game. Additionally, goaltender Stuart Skinner earned his 100th career win. Adding to the memorable night, rookie forward Isaac Howard scored his first career NHL goal in the second period, extending Edmonton's lead to 2-0. Connor McDavid also scored his first goal of the season.

3. Power Play Success and McDavid's First Goal: The Oilers' power play proved to be a difference-maker in the game. Connor McDavid opened the scoring with a power-play goal in the first period, his first of the season, assisted by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Jake Walman's overtime winner also came on the power play, capitalizing on a slashing penalty by Ottawa's Tim Stützle.

4. Resilience After a Third-Period Collapse: After building a 2-0 lead, the Oilers faced adversity when the Senators scored two goals in quick succession early in the third period. Dylan Cozens scored a power-play goal, followed by Thomas Chabot. Despite the Senators' comeback, the Oilers managed to regroup and force the game into overtime, ultimately securing the win. Goaltender Stuart Skinner made 19 saves, contributing to the Oilers' ability to weather the storm.

The Oilers will look to build on this win as they return home to host the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday. Meanwhile, the Senators will also be back in action on Thursday, hosting the Philadelphia Flyers.
