In Dallas, Alex Chiasson scored off the power play with 66 seconds gone in extra time to give the visiting Edmonton Oilers a 2-1 win over the Stars on Tuesday night.
“I’ve had good chances in the last six or seven games, it just hasn’t been going my way,” Chiasson said. “But I found a way tonight and got a big point for our team.”
Mikko Koskinen made 42 saves to get the big win for the Oilers.
“On special teams, we gave up the one goal, but our power play got a couple we need,” Oilers head coach Dave Tippett said. “We’ll take the points, but we’re going to have to be better than that.”
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored in regulation for the Oilers.
“Outstanding,” Nugent-Hopkins said. “From the first period on, he (Koskinen) held us in there when we probably weren’t playing our best. On a back-to-back, you need your goalie to step up and he definitely did that.”
John Klingberg had the lone goal for the Stars when he potted a power play goal.
“If you look back at this game, this is how we want to play,” Klingberg said. “We really had the game the whole 60 minutes. [Khudobin] made the saves when he needed to, but I think we played well today.”

Anton Khudobin made 25 saves in the loss.
“We did a lot of good things,” Dallas’ Corey Perry said. “We were good at 5-on-5. I thought we checked and skated well, and their goalie made some big saves. You have to give him credit.”
