EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Darnell Nurse scored at 4:45 of overtime to give the Edmonton Oilers a 5-4 win over the struggling San Jose Sharks on Monday night ...

Ekholm tied it 4-4 with 3:47 left in the third with his second of the night and eighth of the season as he got a pass from McDavid, skated into the left circle and fired a shot past Reimer. The Sharks looked to have tied it 2-2 six minutes into the second on a goal by Andreas Johnsson, but once again itl was called back for goalie interference. Zach Hyman gave the Oilers a 2-1 lead midway through the first, but it was disallowed for goalie interference. It was his eighth. Mattias Ekholm had two goals, Kailer Yamamoto had a goal and an assist, and Nick Bjugstad also scored to help the Oilers win for the sixth time in seven games. It was his 16th.

In a heated race to the playoffs, the Edmonton Oilers will try to bank some points against lesser competition when they host the San Jose Sharks on Monday.

However, the Oilers could opt to stick with the hot hand, as Skinner is 7-1-0 with a 2.89 goals-against average in his last eight games. Evgeny Svechnikov is questionable for Monday's lineup due to an undisclosed injury. The Sharks are on a six-game winless streak (0-4-2), and are just 2-11-3 in their past 16 games. Edmonton is on a three-game winning streak and is 7-2-0 over its past nine games. "This is probably the tightest I've seen it with respect to the entire conference," Edmonton forward Evander Kane said. Within the congested Western Conference, the Oilers face a battle on multiple fronts. Edmonton gained some important breathing room over its rivals with a 6-4 win in Seattle on Saturday.

Le 52e tir au filet des Oilers a été celui de la victoire, alors que Nurse s'est échappé et qu'il a déjoué James Reimer entre les jambières. Publicité.

Reimer a frustré les attaquants des Oilers à de nombreuses reprises en fin de match, réalisant notamment un arrêt spectaculaire en plongeant, aux dépens de Leon Draisaitl. C'était le troisième filet réussi par un défenseur d'Edmonton dans le match, après le doublé de Mattias Ekholm, dont le but égalisateur qui portait le score 4 à 4, à 16:13 de la troisième période. Darnell Nurse a délivré les Oilers d'Edmonton en marquant en prolongation avec 15 secondes à écouler, lundi, dans un gain de 5 à 4 sur les Sharks de San Jose.

- Just under two minutes after Lorentz’s tying goal, Erik Karlsson gave the Sharks back the lead (3-2) on a beautiful deke that left Jack Campbell confused and looking for his jock. - The Nurse/Ceci pairing needs to make better choices in the defensive zone as they got caught with sloppy breakout passes more than once. - Alexander Barabanov opened the scoring (1-0) on a rebound attempt that beat Campbell cleanly after he kicked Tomas Hertl’s shot straight into the slot. Up to that point, I actually thought that this wasn’t one of Nurse’s better games but he came through with a clutch goal to seal the deal and I was very happy for him when he got the job done. I thought we were going to get a first shot goal against but we get a classic Coupal Bailout to save the start of this hockey game. - Only 1:25 after the Sharks took the lead, Mattias Ekholm tied the game (3-3) with a nifty backhand chip shot after Draisaitl fed him with a pass along the boards with a lane to charge toward the front of the net. Make it goals in back-to-back games for Yamamoto to give him 10 on the year. Even when the boys bounced back with a goal by Mattias Ekholm to knot the score up at three, the Oilers couldn’t get out of their own way nor could they get a save to bail them out after mistakes and it cost them their lead in a horrifying fashion. Fortunately, Darnell Nurse came through with his 4th career OT winner to not only complete the comeback but put the Oilers five points ahead of the Seattle Kraken who have two games in hand. The good news, however, is that Jeremy Coupal’s eagle vision was dialed in as he pulled the trigger on a third coach’s challenge to wipe the goal off the board, paving the way for Ekholm to even things up in the dying minutes. So to see that the Sharks had their legs moving early was incredibly frustrating as the last thing any of us needed was for the Oilers to be chasing again. All day long, I found myself thinking about how the Edmonton Oilers should be able to handily beat the San Jose Sharks, easily securing two big points from a team that they should beat more often than not.

Welcome back! Tonight is the Sharks and there are a few reasons I'm fascinated with this one: I was in charge of our Mock Draft and drafted Martin Kaut...

at the time everyone said I was nuts and he’d be a bust. I’d go to the 10 minute mark when the Leafs are up 4-1. - I was in charge of our Mock Draft and drafted Martin Kaut...

Ekholm scored twice before Nurse netted the overtime winner as the Oilers defencemen led the way in a 5-4 win over the Sharks at Rogers Place on Monday.

I thought the San Jose Sharks played a heck of a game tonight and gave us everything that we could handle, but we didn't play the game we wanted to play in the first two periods and I thought we could do better. "We'll get back here tomorrow and break it down a little bit after watching the film, but like I said, you're not going to have your A-game every night. "That second goal was a good shot, not going to deny that, but I think also the time and space you get playing with those guys obviously helps." We didn't like what were seeing at different points in the game and we had the blender out and we're just trying to find a way in the end. As I said, not perfect, but the players found a way to get the two points. "I heard it was the second multi-goal game of my career, so I guess things are clicking and that's nice. We ask a lot of questions and in the end, when you do your work like that, when the pressure time comes, we have a process that we follow. But past the midway mark of the game, San Jose would have the lead back following a pair of missed assignments by the Oilers defence in a 1:51 span. "They won us the game tonight, so it was great to see," Ekholm added. "For Darnell to get the one in overtime, I thought it was excellent." Kailer Yamamoto had a goal and assist for the Oilers, providing the pass up the wall that led to Nurse's OT winner, while Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins all contributed two helpers in the victory. "We could have been a lot better tonight I thought, but at the same time, these games are hard," Ekholm said.

Darnell Nurse scored the overtime winner on his team's 51st shot as the Edmonton Oilers won their fourth game in a row, defeating the San Jose Sharks 5-4 on ...

The Oilers came into the contest leading the league with 3.91 goals per game, and have scored 138 goals and had averaged 4.31 goals/game since Jan. The Sharks entered the contest having allowed four-plus goals per game 39 times this year, the second-most in the NHL. It was Campbell's first start in the Edmonton net since a 6-5 loss at the Winnipeg Jets on March 4, as he served as a backup to Stuart Skinner for the last six games. Missing for the Oilers were Ryan Murray (back) and Ryan McLeod, who missed his third game with an upper body injury. Cody Ceci fished a sure goal to safety as it was on its way into the Edmonton net, allowing Ekholm to score his second of the game a couple minutes later with 3:47 remaining in the third, walking in and powering a slapshot past Reimer to make it 4-4. Karlsson gave the Sharks yet another lead a couple minutes later, taking a feed in the shot and blasting a one-timer in for his second of the game and 22nd of the season.

EDMONTON — Darnell Nurse a marqué le but gagnant en prolongation sur le 52e tir de son équipe et les Oilers d'Edmonton l'ont emporté 5-4 contre les Sharks ...

Les Sharks pensaient avoir créé l’égalité quelques minutes plus tard, mais le but n’a pas compté en raison d’obstruction contre le gardien. Le but a toutefois été annulé en raison d’un hors-jeu. Erik Karlsson a inscrit deux buts, alors qu’Alexander Barabanov et Steven Lorentz ont inscrit les deux autres filets des Sharks (19-37-15).

Sharks 4, Oilers 5 (OT) For much of Monday night's chaotic affair at Rogers Place, it appeared the Edmonton Oilers were destined to lose their third home…

11 shot attempts off his own stick, 6 on net and another on a third period breakaway that found the post. Took the only 2 Oilers penalties of the game and got away with a third. Back in the line-up for a second straight game, on a 6-man D crew this game. Unable to cut out a key pass on the 4-3. Respectively his 10th goal and 10th assist of the season, in the process becoming the 10th Oilers forward with double-digit goals. All 3 were ugly goals — down too early on a shot over his shoulder, a going-wide shot that bounced off the inside of his blocker arm and into the net, and an ineffectual dive on a 2-on-1 where the shot slid under him and into the middle of the net. Was twice robbed by Reimer on a late powerplay, firing a pair of one-timers from his favourite spot that were foiled by a flailing glove save that just deflected the puck over the crossbar, and then seconds later by a diving stop by Reimer that defied belief. Some chaos on his watch, but plenty of good moments as well, most notably the game-winning goal scored on a breakaway with just 15 seconds remaining in OT. Scored a pair of massive goals that each tied the score, 3-3 midway in the second, then 4-4 late in the third. Positive stats of 1 shot, 1 hit, 1 takeaway, and 2/3=67% on the dot. Made a goal-saving play in the crease to hold the deficit to 4-3 in the third, raising his grade by a full point. Rang the post late in OT and then was robbed by Reimer on the rebound.

Campbell struggled to make the big saves all night and got bailed out by the video team in a big way. “We spend a lot of time studying what gets called around the league. The Oilers really seem to struggle in games like these and my lord is it frustrating. Mattias Ekholm’s first of two got the Oilers back into it, however, and while Erik Karlsson’s second regained the Sharks lead in the second, Ekholm came up big again. It was far, far from a pretty performance for the team as a whole. After a suspect first period tied at one, Kailer Yamamoto gave the Oilers a 2-1 lead 30 seconds into the first period.

This season has been an unmitigated disaster for Campbell — and his start Monday was just the latest example.

[Ville Husso](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/ville-husso-tEcH154zJncfzUax/), but [Detroit](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/redwings/) got the jump and traded for him early. [Maple Leafs](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/leafs/), who desperately need to win a playoff round, barely talked to Campbell ahead of free agency. He has four more years on his contract and a buyout in June keeps him on the books until 2031. Campbell could be one of the better goalies in the league next season. [Mike Smith](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/mike-smith-OA1IAC41fSvKePEZ/) had some incredible highs, most notably his 2021 season when he finished seventh in Vezina Trophy voting.

He lost his starter’s job to rookie [Stuart Skinner](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/stuart-skinner-KlvXBG0WO4nYVVkG/) weeks ago and hasn’t posted a save percentage over .900 in any of his last seven games. The [Oilers](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/oilers/), blessed with all their firepower and a lethal power play, just needed someone to regularly take the net and make the saves required of him — and maybe a few big ones here and there. To suggest this is not what the Oilers expected from Campbell would be a gross understatement.
