Connor McDavid scores 60th goal as OT winner for Oilers

EDMONTON, Alberta — Connor McDavid scored his 60th goal of the season with his second of the game 1:31 into overtime to lift the Edmonton Oilers to a 4-3 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday night.

Moments after hitting the post, McDavid went high on Connor Ingram, giving him 60 goals in 72 games and making him the fastest player to reach the mark since Mario Lemieux accomplished the feat in 62 games in the 1995-96 season.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also had a pair of goals, and Leon Draisaitl assisted on all four of the Oilers' scores.

It is crazy to try that same move again and score on it the second time, but that is just what he does, I guess.»

Stuart Skinner made 14 saves for Edmonton, which has won five straight games and nine of its past 11.

Clayton Keller scored twice and J.J. Moser also scored for the Coyotes, who have lost two in a row following a four-game winning streak. Ingram stopped 27 shots.

«I think we had some good urgency,» Keller said. «It was a tough back-to-back for us, but I think we did a good job. We were a little sloppy at the start and we didn't want
