Jagr scores in OT to lift Stars over Oilers 3-2

Jagr beat goalie Devan Dubnyk with a high wrist shot for his third goal of the year.

"That feeling never gets old," Jagr said. "When you score in overtime, everybody is talking about it. That was a big goal for us."

Jamie Benn and Derek Roy scored in regulation for the Stars (5-5-1), who have won two in a row.

Dallas coach Glen Gulutzan was relieved his team came away with the win, but thought it shouldn't have allowed the Oilers back into the game in the third period.

"I liked the win in overtime, but I didn't like the response after our two goals," he said. "We kept on turning the puck over and over and putting the game in jeopardy. Until we realize that we are a team that has to grind out games — and even if it gets dicey out there we have to play a certain way — we're not going to get traction. We have to learn to do a better job."

Ales Hemsky and Justin Schultz scored for the Oilers, who were without three of their top four centers: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (day to day with a shoulder injury), Shawn Horcoff (broken knuckle) and Eric Belanger (broken toes).

Adding to their woes, center Anton Lander left the game in the first period with a foot injury.

Oilers coach Ralph Krueger lauded his team for working through adversity and said he hoped help would be on the way soon.

"We're in the pack and in the games with an opportunity to win, we just need to get a healthy lineup together," he said. "We're hoping to have Nugent-Hopkins back for our next game on Saturday and Belanger back by Sunday. We want to get back deep into our lineup again and to the four lines we were rolling earlier in the season.

"We've had a strange string of events. But the positive on it is that Horcoff is the only long-term injury."

The Oilers (4-3-3) are winless in their last four games — although they have earned points in three of them.

"Down the middle we're hurting, for sure, but we found a way to battle through that adversity and earn another point," forward Jordan Eberle said.

There were few good chances in the first period and most of them belonged to the Stars while they were short-handed. Dallas had several odd-man rushes late in the first and almost converted on one of them when Cody Eakin had Dubnyk beat but hit the post.

Edmonton broke the scoreless tie 3 minutes into the second following a mad scramble in front of the Dallas net. Nail Yakupov hit the post behind Stars starter Kari Lehtonen before Hemsky banked the rebound in off a defender.
