Bouchard's OT winner lifts Oilers past Avalanche, keeping division title hopes alive

Evan Bouchard scored a power-play goal 1:50 into overtime, Stuart Skinner stopped 28 shots and the visiting Edmonton Oilers beat the Colorado Avalanche 2-1 on Tuesday night for their eighth straight win.

Bouchard lined a shot past Alexandar Georgiev to set off a celebration. Moments earlier, Colorado defenseman Bowen Byram drew a penalty for hooking Connor McDavid as the Oilers center powered toward the goal.

McDavid assisted on the OT winner to extend his points streak to 15 games. He's the first player in NHL history to have three different points streaks of 15 or more games in the same season. He's only had seven games where he didn't register a point.

A contest featuring two high scoring teams turned into a defensive showdown. It was no surprise, though, this game went into an extra period. Colorado won the previous two meetings this season in overtime.

Ben Meyers scored for the defending Stanley Cup champion Avalanche, who saw their five-game winning streak snapped.
