Dallas Stars crush Oilers 7-2, extend unbeaten streak to 14 games
The Dallas Stars extended their unbeaten run to 14 games with a commanding 7-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers. The victory marked their 13th regulation win in that stretch, with only one overtime loss. Tensions flared between Oilers stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl as the game turned physical.
Dallas dominated early, scoring three unanswered goals in the first period. Jason Robertson added two more to his season tally, while Tyler Seguin netted his second of the night on a power play in the third.
The Oilers responded in the second frame with goals from Jason Dickinson—his first for the team—and Evan Bouchard, who extended his scoring streak to nine games with his 19th of the season. But the momentum didn't last. Frustration boiled over after the second-period buzzer, sparking a heated exchange between McDavid and Draisaitl that carried into the final period. The Oilers finished with 22 penalty minutes, 16 of which came from post-whistle scrums. Matt Duchene sealed the 7-2 result late in the third, capping off a five-goal night for the Stars. Edmonton now heads to St. Louis to face the Blues on Friday, wrapping up a back-to-back and a four-game road trip.
The loss leaves the Oilers still searching for consistency after early-season struggles. Their record stood at three wins, nine losses, and one tie after 14 games before coaching changes in November. Meanwhile, the Stars' 14-game point streak keeps them near the top of the league standings.
