EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Mike Comrie scored in regulation and added the shootout winner in the Edmonton Oilers’ 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Friday night.
Comrie slipped a backhander through Niklas Backstrom’s pads in the sixth round of the tiebreaker, and Jeff Deslauriers deflected Guillaume Latendresse’s shot over the net with his glove to finish off the Wild.
Latendresse scored in regulation for Minnesota.
The Oilers, last in the NHL, snapped a three-game losing streak.
