The Edmonton Oilers are sick and tired of hearing about Auston Matthews, apparently.

Andrej Sekera scored in overtime to lead the Oilers to a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins on Monday. It's their sixth consecutive win, putting them in a playoff spot at the 31-game mark of the season.

Sekera now has three goals and nine assists in 30 games.

Cam Talbot made a career-high 47 saves in the victory for the Oilers, who improve to 14-15-2. They'll look to continue their impressive win streak against the New York Rangers on Tuesday.
