The Edmonton Oilers began their seven-game road trip with a 2-1 overtime victory against the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday. Jack Roslovic secured the win with his second consecutive overtime goal. Evan Bouchard also scored for the Oilers, while Matvei Michkov responded for the Flyers.

Here are three takeaways from the Oilers' win:

1. Roslovic's Timely Contribution

Jack Roslovic has quickly become a key player for the Oilers. After scoring the game-winning goal in overtime against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday, he repeated the feat against the Flyers. Just over a minute into overtime, a miscue by Philadelphia's Cam York led to a 2-on-0 breakaway for Roslovic and Matt Savoie. Savoie passed to Roslovic, who fired a shot past Flyers' goaltender Dan Vladar. This marks Roslovic's fifth goal of the season and highlights his seamless integration into the Oilers' top-six forwards. "We were playing great," Roslovic said. "They're a stingy defensive team, but I think we did a good job of staying patient and playing well defensively. For the second period, we dominated in their zone, so it's good to stack some wins".

2. Strong Start and Solid Defense

The Oilers demonstrated resilience and controlled the game for a significant portion. After surviving early pressure from the Flyers, Edmonton found their rhythm and dominated the play for nearly 40 minutes. Evan Bouchard's goal late in the first period gave the Oilers a lead. Although Michkov's power-play goal tied the game, the Oilers maintained their composure and secured the win in overtime. Goaltender Stuart Skinner made 20 saves, contributing to the strong defensive effort. Head Coach Kris Knoblauch noted the team's improved performance after the first five minutes, praising Skinner's early saves.

3. McDavid's Point Streak Continues

Connor McDavid extended his point streak to six games with an assist on Bouchard's first-period goal. McDavid picked up a loose puck and found Bouchard in the high slot, who then fired a shot past Vladar. This assist underscores McDavid's consistent offensive contribution and his importance to the Oilers' success. The assist gave McDavid six straight games with at least a point.

The Flyers had a goal overturned in the final minute of regulation. 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.
