Plymouth, Mich. - Ryan Hartman's hat trick goal in overtime gave the Plymouth Whalers a 4-3 win over the Erie Otters Saturday night.

Connor McDavid put the Otters back in front at 17:01 of the first on a great play. McDavid was alone on goaltender Matt Mahalak and was able to slip the puck under the right pad with a second effort for his 19th goal of the season.

Jimmy McDowell made it a two-goal lead for Erie with 1:04 left in the first as he drilled a shot from the slot for his ninth goal of the season.

The Whalers pulled to within one late in the second on Hartman's second goal of the game. Cody Payne tied the game at three early in the third period.
