Edmonton, Alberta • Taylor Hall scored a penalty-shot goal and added an assist, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins netted the winner in the final minutes to lift Edmonton to a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night, giving the Oilers their first win of the season.

Brian Boyle and Brett Connolly scored for the Lightning (3-2-1). Boyle gave Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead in the second period, but Edmonton took the lead before the frame was over.
Nugent-Hopkins made it 3-2 with 3:52 left in the game.
Abuse allegations
lead to suspension
The NHL suspended Los Angeles Kings defenseman Slava Voynov indefinitely Monday after the two-time Stanley Cup winner's arrest on suspicion of domestic violence.
Voynov was booked and released at the Redondo Beach jail after his arrest early Monday morning at a Torrance hospital on suspicion of corporal injury to a spouse, Redondo Beach police Lt. Joe Hoffman said.
The 24-year-old Russian defenseman posted $50,000 bail.
"These developments are of great concern to our organization," the Kings said in a statement. "We support the NHL's decision to suspend Slava Voynov indefinitely during this process."
Craig Renetzky, the attorney representing Voynov, told The Associated Press that Voynov hasn't yet been charged with a crime. His next court date is Dec. 1. —
