VANCOUVER – Kiefer Sherwood deflected in a Brock Boeser pass at 1:42 of overtime to give the Vancouver Canucks a 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night.
It was Sherwood’s second goal of the night and his sixth of the season.
It was Boeser’s second assist of the night to go with an earlier goal. Elias Pettersson also scored for the Canucks (5-5-0), who snapped a three-game losing streak. Conor Garland also added two assists.
Edmonton’s Leon Draisaitl forced the overtime when he scored his second goal of the night on a power play with 5:03 left in the third period.
Jack Roslovic, with his first goal of the season, also scored for the Oilers 4-4-2.
Vancouver goaltender Thatcher Demko stopped 26 shots. Edmonton goalie Calvin Pickard made 23 saves.
Both teams were coming off Saturday losses. The Canucks dropped a 4-3 decision to the Montreal Canadiens at Rogers Arena in a game they led 2-0 midway through the second period. The Oilers fell 3-2 to the Kraken in Seattle.
Vancouver played the game without captain Quinn Hughes. Head coach Adam Foote said the all-star defencemen is “day-to-day” with a lower-body injury suffered in the loss to Montreal. His place was taken by Victor Mancini.
TAKEAWAYS
Canucks: Boeser has seven points (three goals, four assists) in his last four games against the Oilers.
Oilers: Draisaitl played in his 800th career NHL game. With his two goals he has recorded at least one point in 26 of his last 27 regular-season contests against Vancouver. He also has points in 16 regular-season games in Vancouver.
KEY MOMENT
With the Canucks clinging to a one-goal lead late in the third period, defenceman Marcus Pettersson was called for slashing. It took just 27 seconds for Connor McDavid to send a pass into the slot that Draisaitl one-timed past Demko tying the game with 5:03 left.
KEY STAT
The Canucks penalty kill has allowed 10 goals on 27 chances in the last eight games.

Oilers: Host the Utah Mammoth on Tuesday.
