Ales Hemsky scored two goals and the Edmonton Oilers snapped a three-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night.

Jordan Eberle also scored and Taylor Hall had a pair of assists for the Oilers, who remain in second to last place in the NHL despite a 6-2-2 record in their past 10 games.

Jason Spezza and Erik Karlsson scored for the Senators, who have lost three of their past four games in the midst of trying to move up into a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
