The Edmonton Oilers picked up their first win of the young NHL season when they upset the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning.
Tampa Bay right winger Brett Connolly had tied it 2-2 with six minutes left in regulation, but centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins secured the victory, in the Oilers' sixth game of the season, when he put one in off the post with 3:25 to go.
Oilers goaltender Ben Scrivens (22 saves) and defensive pair of Mark Fayne and Martin Marincin kept the NHL's hottest goal scorer, center Steve Stamkos, without a point.
After a scoreless first period, the Lightning jumped on top when a centering pass banked in off Oilers defenseman Justin Schultz's skate at 1:22 of the second period and the goal credited to Tampa Bay center Bill Boyle.
Edmonton responded three minutes later when a Schultz backhander that was headed wide banked in off the knob of goaltender Ben Bishop's stick.
The Oilers took their first lead of the game at 14:57 of the second when Fayne sent Taylor Hall in on a breakaway. The left winger was hauled down from behind, but he scored with a backhand deke on the ensuing penalty shot for his fourth goal in five games.
Bishop finished with 20 saves for the Lightning.
