EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Jack Roslovic scored 56 seconds into overtime and the Edmonton Oilers came from behind for a 5-4 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night.

Jake Walman, who also had two goals, hit Roslovic with a long stretch pass and he scored his fourth of the season on a breakaway.

Connor McDavid also scored two goals and Stuart Skinner made 15 stops for the Oilers, who snapped a three-game losing skid and rebounded from Saturday’s 9-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.

Ivan Provorov, Sean Monahan, Boone Jenner and Adam Fantilli scored for the Blue Jackets, who have lost four straight. Jet Greaves made 19 stops for Columbus.

Playing in his 146th career regular-season game, Fantilli picked up an assist to hit the 90-point mark, becoming the fourth Blue Jackets player to reach the milestone in fewer than 150 games after debuting with the franchise. Also achieving the feat for Columbus are Pierre-Luc Dubois (128 GP), Nikolay Zherdev (131) and Rick Nash (141).

Oilers forward Mattias Janmark returned from a preseason injury to make his season debut, however Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will miss about a week due to an undisclosed injury.
