Jason Arnott’s first goal in nearly three weeks broke a tie early in the third period and powered Edmonton.

Seventy seconds later, David Oliver scored the Oilers’ third goal of the game. It was his 14th of the season and first since Dec. 22, with 13 of those coming on the power play.

Stars 4, Flames 2

Calgary, Alberta

Joe Nieuwendyk scored the eventual game-winning goal against his former team as Dallas beat Calgary and ended the Flames’ eight-game winning streak.

Nieuwendyk, who sat out the first half of the season in a contract dispute before being traded in December, was booed every time he touched the puck, especially when he logged his fourth goal of the season to give Dallas at 3-1 lead early in the second period.
