No. 2 in the 30-second version
Canucks claimed defenseman Cameron Crotty off waivers, so both players Ottawa lost to waivers this season are now in Vancouver.
According to The Hockey News, Crotty, a 27-year-old Ottawa native, appeared in nine NHL games for the Senators across last season and this season before being placed on waivers in late October. Minnesota claimed him, then put him back on waivers this week, when Vancouver made its claim. Vancouver also acquired Meriläinen directly from Ottawa on September 25 after the Senators exposed him to waivers in training camp.
Evan Bouchard scored 47 seconds into overtime as the Oilers beat the Flyers 3-2.
Connor McDavid's assist extended his season-starting points streak to 20 games, tying his career high, per the AP. Rasmus Ristolainen returned for Philadelphia after missing seven games with an upper-body injury. The Flyers have lost four of their last five games, while Edmonton won its third straight.

Flyers coach Rick Tocchet says winger Matvei Michkov has not asked for a trade, calling the report untrue.
The report, relayed by ESPN's Kevin Weekes, said Michkov would likely want a change of scenery amid the Flyers' struggles. GM Danny Briere said Michkov and his agent both denied the report, and Michkov told reporters he is happy to be in Philadelphia. The Flyers have lost 15 of their first 20 games, and Michkov leads the team with 10 goals.
