NHL Wednesday: Blackhawks beat Oilers 4-3 in overtime

Edmonton protested for a few seconds that they believed the puck to be over the line before Crawford’s magnificent save, but replay clearly shows his glove snagging the puck in the crease, with the recoil of his glove making it look closer than it was.

Twenty penalty minutes were assessed in the first 20 minutes of the game, a clear indicator of how frustrated both of these teams were with their past performances. The Jets break a six-game losing streak with the win, coming off a devastating four-game road trip against the heart of the Central Division. The Canucks, on the other hand, finish a four-game road trip with their fourth loss in a row, capping off the week with their worst loss of the bunch.

Perreault had three assists on the night, while Drew Stafford broke an 11-game point-less streak with his tie breaking goal in the second period. It was a breakout night for the Perreault-Scheifele-Stafford line, as they had a combined nine points between them.

The Capitals had been pressuring the Wings through much of the third period, but were unable to break through the stone wall of netminder Petr Mrazek. Kuznetsov takes the puck off the boards and with all the open space on the 3-on-3, pulls a few moves from forehand to backhand and back. He fires the puck on the forehand on the doorstep, slipping it through the arm of Mrazek for the overtime winner.
