Roslovic scores in OT again, propels Oilers past Flyers

PHILADELPHIA -- Jack Roslovic scored at 1:19 of overtime for the Edmonton Oilers in a 2-1 win against the Philadelphia Flyers at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Wednesday.

Roslovic finished a 2-on-0 rush with Matt Savoie after Flyers defenseman Cam York fell and lost the puck at the Philadelphia blue line.

"They kind of got it up a little jumbled," Roslovic said. "If you can just get a touch on it, sometimes it can help and be all the difference. So little touch, and then 'Savy' got a little touch, and then we both stayed onside, and he made a heck of a play."

It's the second consecutive game Roslovic has scored in overtime; he also did it in a 5-4 victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday.

"Jack has been a great addition to our team," Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said of Roslovic, who signed a one-year contract Oct. 8. "Five-on-five, the power play, obviously overtime. We want more speed. I don't think you can have enough speed in your lineup, and he helps with that. And also just some secondary scoring, he has provided that. So we're very fortunate to have him."

Evan Bouchard also scored, and Savoie had two assists for Edmonton (8-6-4), which won its second game in a row. Stuart Skinner made 20 saves.

Matvei Michkov scored in his third straight for Philadelphia (8-5-3), which extended its point streak to four games (2-0-2) but lost its second consecutive game in overtime. Dan Vladar made 30 saves.

"There's positives," Flyers coach Rick Tocchet said. "Every game, it seems it's tight. We've just got to learn, we have the puck in overtime and we're throwing it away. Hold on to it, make a play. We want to make plays. And that's their learning process, playing through pressure. It's hard to play playoff hockey 82 games, but we're in these games where it's almost like a playoff game, so we want to kind of really learn from these moments. It's good for our guys."

Bouchard gave the Oilers a 1-0 lead at 19:05 of the first period on a one-timer from between the top of the face-off circles. Connor McDavid had an assist to give him 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in a season-long six-game point streak.

Michkov tied it 1-1 with a power-play goal at 15:38 of the second period on a wrist shot near the top of the left circle.

The shot was Philadelphia's fourth of the period and ninth of the game, compared to 24 for Edmonton.

"I thought we did a really good job sticking with it," Savoie said. "I thought the second period we controlled play lots, we had a lot of possession, lots of looks in their zone, just wasn't going in for us. Thought we did a good job sticking with it in the third and then obviously in overtime."

Philadelphia's Travis Konecny tipped a Travis Sanheim shot past Skinner with 24 seconds remaining in the third period, but the goal was overturned when replay review showed Flyers forward Owen Tippett was offside entering the offensive zone.

"It hurts," Tippett said. "I think you stick with it with a team like that, I think with 20 seconds left you win the game. Nobody knows on the ice it's offside. Definitely stings."

NOTES: Roslovic is the second Oilers player to score in overtime in back-to-back games, along with Andrew Cogliano (three straight, March 7-11, 2008). ...
