Leon Draisaitl scored two goals Tuesday night, including the game-winner 1:52 into overtime, as the host Edmonton Oilers edged the New York Islanders 4-3.

The Islanders’ Anders Lee scored twice in the final seven-plus minutes of regulation before the Oilers collected all four shots in overtime. With the New York trio of Bo Horvat, Simon Holmstrom and Ryan Pulock nearing their second full minute on the ice, Draisaitl and McDavid entered in a shift change.

McDavid took a pass from Evan Bouchard and dished to Draisaitl, who beat Ilya Sorokin from point-blank range.

Bouchard and McDavid also scored for the Oilers, who have won two straight following a two-game skid. McDavid had three assists to move within one point of 1,000 for his career, and Bouchard added two assists.

Edmonton goalie Stuart Skinner made 19 saves.

Kyle Palmieri had a goal and an assist for the Islanders, who lost in overtime for the second straight game. Sorokin recorded 38 saves.

After a scoreless first, Draisaitl snapped the tie with a power-play goal 36 seconds into the middle period. Palmieri tied the score with 4:02 left in the second when he took a pass from Maxim Tsyplakov and immediately beat Skinner under his stick arm.

Bouchard scored to cap an extended flurry in the Islanders’ zone 57 seconds into the third before McDavid lengthened the lead to 3-1 with 9:41 left. McDavid knocked over Oliver Wahlstrom to intercept Noah Dobson’s pass before eventually taking a no-look pass from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and sending a backhand between Dobson and Isaiah George and beyond Sorokin’s glove.

Lee began the Islanders’ comeback 2:35 later, when a shot by Pulock bounced off Skinner’s pads and to Lee, who’d just hit the ice on a shift change. Sorokin was pulled for an extra attacker moments before Lee took a pass from Jean-Gabriel Pageau and sent a point-blank shot beyond a crouching Bouchard and under Skinner’s legs with 2:40 remaining.
