CHICAGO (AP) — Connor McDavid set up Zach Hyman in overtime, and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 on Wednesday night.

Hyman redirected McDavid’s pass for the power-play goal at 1:36. It was Hyman’s 19th goal and McDavid’s 49th assist of the season.

Leon Draisaitl and Jeff Skinner each had a goal and an assist as Edmonton won for the fifth time in seven games. Viktor Arvidsson also scored and Calvin Pickard made 29 saves.

Skinner and Draisaitl scored in the third period to help Edmonton open a 3-1 lead.

But Chicago rallied behind Ryan Donato, who matched his career high with his 16th goal at 12:12. He also picked up an assist on Alec Martinez’s tying goal with 3:44 left in regulation.

It was an impressive rally for the Blackhawks after they lost Jason Dickinson to an apparent left knee injury 4:33 into the second period.

Lukas Reichel also scored for Chicago in its third consecutive loss. Arvid Soderblom stopped 34 shots.

David Pastrnak and Elias Lindholm scored 16 seconds apart late in the second period for Boston, which snapped a two-game win streak. Joonas Korpisalo had 18 saves.
