Leon Draisaitl scored the tiebreaking goal with 1:35 left to give the Edmonton Oilers a 3-2 win against the visiting Anaheim Ducks on Friday evening.
Draisaitl scored from the bottom of the right circle to extend his point streak to 13 games (11 goals, 14 assists).
Darnell Nurse had a goal and an assist, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored and Stuart Skinner made 27 saves for the Oilers, who have won two in a row following back-to-back road losses to the Ducks and Los Angeles Kings last weekend.
The Oilers have won eight of their past nine against Anaheim.
Brett Leason and Jackson LaCombe scored and Lukas Dostal stopped 23 shots for the Ducks, who failed in a bid to win four in a row for the first time this season.
Edmonton went on its first power play after Olen Zellweger went to the box for high-sticking Corey Perry at 16:12 of the first period.
Nugent-Hopkins tried to center a pass to Zach Hyman above the crease while on the man advantage, but the puck went off the blade of LaCombe and was redirected into his own net, giving the Oilers a 1-0 lead at 16:54.
Evan Bouchard assisted on the goal for his 200th NHL point, becoming the second-fastest Edmonton defenseman to reach that milestone. He was playing in his 303rd game. Only Paul Coffey (221 games) reached the mark sooner.
The Oilers made it 2-0 at 7:57 of the second. Nurse scored from the high slot off a feed from Jeff Skinner, who was a healthy scratch the only time this season in a 5-3 loss at Anaheim on Sunday.
Leason cut it to 2-1 at 18:32 of the second when he got ahead of the defense and slid the puck past Stuart Skinner.
The Ducks went on the power play after Adam Henrique went to the box for slashing Brian Dumoulin at 6:19 of the third period. LaCombe scored with a wrist shot from above the hashmark to tie it 2-2 at 6:53.
