Mattias Janmark had two goals and an assist as the Edmonton Oilers scored a 6-3 win over the Dallas Stars Wednesday night.
The teams traded goals 1:06 apart in the first. Stars forward Roope Hintz beat Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner with a one-timer on a three-on-two.
The Oilers responded when Klim Kostin set up Janmark for a tap-in.
Wyatt Johnston broke in down the right side and beat Skinner top corner to put the Stars up 2-1 just 27 seconds into the second.
Oilers winger Zach Hyman punched in his 15th on the power play less than three minutes later.
The Oilers grabbed their first lead of the night when Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ sharp-angle wrister ticked Ryan Suter’s stick and eluded Stars netminder Jake Oettinger.
Tyler Seguin’s power-play deflection made it 3-3 late in the second.
With 8:14 left in the third, Dallas defenceman Miro Heiskanen turned the puck over to Edmonton forward Leon Draisaitl, who fed Warren Foegele for a blast that beat Oettinger.
Oilers captain Connor McDavid buried his 29th on a two-on-one with 3:43 remaining. Janmark added an empty-netter not long after.
