ST. LOUIS -- Patrick Maroon scored an emotional goal to tie it, and then Ryan Nugent-Hopkins won it for Edmonton in overtime.Nugent-Hopkins scored 2:55 into OT after taking a pass from Connor McDavid, lifting the Oilers over the St. Louis Blues 3-2 on Monday night.The winner came after Maroon, a St. Louis native, got his first goal in nine career games against the Blues by tipping a shot by Brandon Davidson 5:47 into the third period.Cameras caught Maroons son Anthony celebrating the score in the stands, and Maroon cried when he was shown the video during a postgame television interview.I dont get to see him as much, he said, choking back tears. Its pretty special.That was good especially playing in front of a team that I grew up watching, he added. We had season tickets and you always get up for those games no matter what. Its fun to play your hometown team that you grew up watching and to get a goal is an extra bonus for me, and especially in front of my son and my family.McDavid became the first NHL player with 40 points by assisting on the OT goal.If you give Connor the puck and a good opportunity, hes going to make a play for sure, Nugent-Hopkins said.The OT goal frustrated St. Louis goalie Carter Hutton, who stopped 32 shots on his 31st birthday. It was his first start since Dec. 3, when the Blues lost to the Jets in overtime.It ended up in the net, Hutton said. I dont even know who scored it. Its a tough one to take. I thought Ive played pretty well since the start of the year but Im not putting up `Ws. Its tough.St. Louis scored first when Kyle Brodziak connected on a wrist shot 4:20 into the game. Nugent-Hopkins tried to poke the puck over the blue line, but Kevin Shattenkirk got it and passed to a wide open Brodziak, who beat Cam Talbot on his glove side.Edmonton tied at about seven minutes later. Leon Draisaitl won a faceoff and Tyler Pitlick buried the shot, beating Hutton on his right side. Draisaitl also assisted on Maroons goal.The Blues took the lead back 33 seconds later when Vladimir Tarasenko hit a wrist shot from the right circle.Tarasenko leads all NHL players with 15 points (six goals and nine assists) in December. Tarasenko has points in 17 of his last 21 games with 12 goals and 17 assists.Pitlick fell to the ice with 4:26 left in the second period, favoring his left leg. He checked Jori Lehtera and his momentum carried him into the boards. He got helped off the ice and back into the locker room.Talbot had 25 saves.Game notesThe Blues have lost three in a row to the Oilers.

Brian McCann Jersey .Y. -- Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers had no intention of changing his hard-hitting style before taking part in a disciplinary hearing for his illegal check to New Jersey forward Dainius Zubrus head.Look out, Browns. The Panthers will challenge for the No. 1 pick in next years draft.Cam Newton has a concussion, the secondary is awful and the defending NFC champions are 1-3. Theyve already lost more games than in 2015 when they were 17-2.They must be finished. Right?Take it easy.The season is only one-quarter over and Derek Anderson is a solid backup. The Falcons (3-1) are playing well, but their defense is suspect so the NFC South isnt out of reach.Carolina hosts Tampa Bay (1-3) next Monday night and visits New Orleans (1-3) the following week, so they could be even by their bye week.Here are other overreactions following Week 4:OVERREACTION: Matt Ryan to Julio Jones is the greatest QB-WR combo in NFL history. Ryan threw for 503 yards, including 300 to Jones in a 48-33 win over the Panthers.REALISTIC REACTION: Montana-Rice. Manning-Harrison. Young-Rice. Just to name a few.---OVERREACTION: The Raiders will end their playoff drought. A 28-27 win at Baltimore has Oakland (3-1) off to its best start since winning the AFC championship in 2002.REALISTIC REACTION: They have two wins by one point. Theyre that close to being 1-3.---OVERREACTION: Andrew Luck is overrated. Luck and the Colts are off to a 1/3 start after going 8-8 last year.REALISTIC REACTION: A poor offensive line is hurting Luck. Hes been sacked 15 times and is on pace to be hitt nearly 200 times this season.dddddddddddd.---OVERREACTION: Pittsburghs 34-3 loss to the Eagles was a blessing in disguise. They rebounded nicely with a 43-14 win over Kansas City.REALISTIC REACTION: Theyre a legitimate contender in the AFC and certainly not as bad as the loss to Philadelphia indicated, but a 31-point loss is never anything to remember fondly.---OVERREACTION: The Ravens are a fluke. After beating teams that were 1-8 through the first three weeks, they lost their first tough test to Oakland.REALISTIC REACTION: You can only beat the teams on your schedule. Theyll be in the mix in the AFC North.---OVERREACTION: Chip Kelly will be the first coach fired. The 49ers have lost three straight after opening the season with a shutout win over the Rams.REALISTIC REACTION: Kelly signed a four-year deal worth $24 million. A 1-15 season might not cost him his job.---OVERREACTION: Sam Bradford and the Vikings are headed to the Super Bowl. A 24-10 win over the Giants has them off to a 4-0 start.REALISTIC REACTION: They dont have Adrian Peterson. That still can hurt them in the long run.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi ' ' '
