Tyler Seguin scored two goals to give him an NHL-leading 17, and rookie defenseman John Klingberg added a goal from center ice and an assist to lead the Dallas Stars to a 3-2 victory over the struggling Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
The Stars won their third straight for the first time this season in the fourth game of a season-high, five-game homestand.
Edmonton, last in the Western Conference, is 0-6-1 in its last seven games. The Oilers haven't led since a win over the New York Rangers on Nov. 9. The Oilers fell to 0-11-1 against Western Conference opponents as they began a three-game trip against Central Division teams.
Seguin took a pass from Klingberg, who flipped the puck from deep in his zone, as he skated across the Edmonton blue line. Seguin scored to break a 1-1 tie at 5:59 of the second period, backhanding a shot over the right pad of goalie Viktor Fasth.
Seguin's second goal came on a slap shot from the deep slot, off a feed by Jamie Benn from behind the Edmonton net, just below the crossbar at 17:42 of the second.
It was Seguin's fifth multigoal game of the season. Kari Lehtonen stopped 35 shots to win his third straight.
Klingberg's goal was a 74-foot slap shot from just beyond the blue line that fluttered beneath Fasth's glove and gave Dallas a 1-0 lead at 12:49 of the opening period.
