  "summary": "Paul Cotter scored a game-winning overtime goal as the Vancouver Canucks defeated the Edmonton Oilers 6-5 in their season opener on Tuesday night. Marco Rossi, Jonathan Lekkerimaki, Max Sasson, and Elias Pettersson also scored for the Canucks, who are coming off a last-place finish in the NHL last season. Despite a strong start from Pettersson, who scored three goals, the Oilers fought back with goals from Vasily Podkolzin and Evan Bouchard, who had three goals and two assists. Cotter marked his Canucks debut with a short-handed goal, becoming the first player in team history to do so.",
