VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Right winger Jannik Hansen scored two goals, including the overtime winner, as the Vancouver Canucks edged the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 on Saturday night.

Hansen whipped home a slapshot from the right wing with 59 seconds left in the sudden-death session after taking a pass from defenseman Matt Bartkowski. Goaltender Jacob Markstrom drew the second assist as he sent the puck up the ice to Bartkowski.

Hansen netted the winner after suffering facial cuts late in the third period and returning after he went head-first into the Edmonton net's crossbar during a rush. The Canucks earned their first overtime win of the season after going zero-for-seven in the new three-on-three format.

The Canucks (14-14-9) posted their second straight win, while the Oilers (15-18-3) suffered their fourth loss in the past five games. Vancouver has now earned seven of a possible eight points in its past three games.

Center Mark Letestu scored the lone Edmonton goal. Oilers goalie Cam Talbot posted 22 saves as Edmonton outshot the Canucks 33-24. Markstrom recorded 32 saves while making his second straight start in place of injured No. 1 goaltender Ryan Miller.

Letestu opened the scoring on a shot from the slot 12:55 into the game after Canucks right winger Radim Vrbata mishandled a bouncing puck near the Vancouver blue line.

The Canucks were unfortunate not to get at least one goal in the first period. Vrbata was denied by Talbot on a wrap-around attempt in the early going, and right winger Brandon Prust deflected center Linden Vey's pass off the goal post with about 11 minutes left.

The Oilers could have had another one, but Markstrom stopped right winger Taylor Hall after he sidestepped Vancouver defenseman Alex Biega.

Hansen created a 1-1 tie at 3:37 of the second period as he one-timed center Henrik Sedin's pass from the corner.

Markstrom helped the Canucks stay even as he made a series of saves with just under seven minutes gone in the frame and later foiled Edmonton center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on a breakaway. The scoring chance came after the Canucks kept the puck in the Edmonton zone for a prolonged period.

Vancouver defenseman Yannick Weber was penalized for slashing on the breakaway as he surrendered the puck and then gave chase to Nugent-Hopkins. The Canucks allowed only one shot on the ensuing Edmonton power play.
