EDMONTON – Jack Roslovic scored on a backhand 56 seconds into overtime as the Edmonton Oilers rebounded from Saturday’s 9-1 embarrassing loss to the Colorado Avalanche to register a 5-4 come-from-behind victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday.
Jake Walman, who also had two goals in the game, hit Roslovic with a long stretch pass and he scored his fourth of the season on a breakaway.
Connor McDavid also scored a pair of goals for the Oilers (7-6-4), who snapped a three-game losing skid.
Ivan Provorov, Sean Monahan, Boone Jenner and Adam Fantilli replied for the Blue Jackets (7-7-1), who have now lost four straight.
