NHL ROUNDUP : Oilers Work Overtime for the Victory

Kelly Miller’s goal at 1:26 of overtime Sunday night gave the Washington Capitals a 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers at Edmonton.

The victory, the Capitals’ first in five road games, extended their win streak to three games.

The Oilers, who have lost five in a row, are 0-7-1 in their last eight games after opening with two victories.

Miller took a pass from defenseman Kevin Hatcher and beat goaltender Bill Ranford from the faceoff circle for the game-winner.

Oiler right winger Zdeno Ciger tied the score at 6:18 of the third period to force overtime.

Ciger’s second goal of the night came on the power play off a perfect setup from center Doug Weight. Ciger took a pass from Weight at the side of the Washington net and tucked a hard wrist shot between the post and goaltender Don Beaupre for his fourth of the season.

His goal came 2:04 after Capitals defenseman Sylvain Cote gave Washington a 2-1 lead.

Vancouver 3, San Jose 2--Geoff Courtnall scored 28 seconds into overtime, giving the Canucks the victory at Vancouver.
