Oilers rally twice, then beat Ducks in overtime

Teddy Purcell scored 1:16 into overtime, and the Edmonton Oilers twice rallied from a third-period deficit before earning a 4-3 victory over the Ducks in Anaheim on Wednesday night.

Oscar Klefbom and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored tying goals in the third for the Oilers, who snapped a six-game skid at Honda Center with a comeback victory. Purcell ended it with a breakaway, roaring past Rickard Rakell for his third goal of the season.

Anders Nilsson made 34 saves for Edmonton. Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists, matching the highest-scoring game of the 20-year-old German’s career.
