Selivanov-Led Oilers Tie

There’s little doubt who the hottest player in the league is.

Alex Selivanov, the 28-year-old Russian, scored twice Sunday as the Oilers tied the New York Islanders, 4-4, at Edmonton, Canada. Selivanov, who has seven goals in his last three games, scored his 16th and 17th of the season and leads the NHL in goals.

“I don’t care what kind of goals I score,” Selivanov said when a reporter pointed out that a number of recent goals have been highlight-reel material.

“I’ll just play like I’m playing,” he said. “I’ve got lots of confidence.”
