OKLAHOMA SCENE: Barons break skid on Justin Schultz's overtime goal

Schultz told The Canadian Press that he was about to leave the ice on a shift change, but “I stayed out there and (Jordan Eberle) had it, and I knew he was going to find me. He made a great pass. Their D-man was kind of screening the goalie, so I just put it in.”

Oklahoma City improved to 6-5-1 and remained tied for second place with Houston. The Barons and Aeros are six standings points behind South Division leader Charlotte. Previously hot Abbotsford fell to 7-1-3.

With young Edmonton Oiler superstars Eberle, Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins all playing, the Barons ended a franchise-record scoring drought at 187:02. Hall buried scored his second goal of the season, at 7:46 of the third period. The Heat's Dustin Sylvester tied the game 1-1 with 1:45 remaining in regulation, putting a rebound past goaltender Yann Danis.

Oklahoma City returns to the Cox Center at 10:35 a.m. Tuesday for its annual Field Trip Day game.
