Josh Anderson put the Habs on the board 1:45 into the third, knifing home a pass from Jeff Petry. Montreal forward Tomas Tatar tied less than four minutes later, rifling a shot over Edmonton netminder Mike Smith's glove.

With 57.5 seconds left in overtime, Staal came down the right wing and snapped a shot past Smith on the blocker side.

The Oilers (23-14-2) will play in Ottawa Wednesday and Thursday and then in Calgary on Saturday. The team's schedule was adjusted Monday afternoon because of the Vancouver Canucks' COVID-19 situation. The second game in Ottawa was originally set for Friday, while Saturday was originally an off day.
