Hyman nets winner as Oilers rally to beat Blackhawks 4-3

CHICAGO (AP) — Zach Hyman scored a tiebreaking power-play goal in the third period, and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 on Saturday night.

Adam Henrique, Corey Perry and Vasily Podkolzin also scored for the Oilers, who closed out a 3-1 road trip. Leon Draisaitl had two assists.

Chicago lost for the eighth time in 10 games. Connor Bedard’s career-high point streak was stopped at nine games.

Teuvo Teravainen and Nick Foligno each had a goal and an assist for the Blackhawks, who beat the Oilers 5-2 in Edmonton on Oct. 12.

With Chicago defenceman Nolan Allan in the penalty box for tripping, Hyman gave Edmonton a 4-3 lead when he muscled home his 14th goal 7:18 into the third.

Chicago got off to a fast start behind Teravainen, who beat Calvin Pickard for his 10th goal 4:45 into the first period. Teravainen then picked up his 20th assist when he played the puck off the end boards and it bounced right to Foligno on the side of the net for a 2-0 lead with 4:49 left.

Ryan Donato’s 13th goal made it 3-1 midway through the second, but Henrique got one back for Edmonton with a tip that went through Arvid Soderblom’s legs at 15:49.

With the Oilers controlling the action for the last part of the second, Perry tied it at 3 with his seventh goal with 2:30 remaining in the period.
