DALLAS - Tyler Seguin scored twice to extend his NHL-leading goal total, yet he was overshadowed by rookie defenceman John Klingberg.The two combined to lift the Dallas Stars to a 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.Klingberg scored from centre ice on a 74-foot, dipping slap shot that eluded goalie Viktor Fasth, and added an assist giving him three goals and eight points in eight games since being recalled from the AHL on Nov. 10.When youre hot, youre hot, Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. It was a knuckler. From the bench, you could see it waffling. He probably doesnt know who Phil Niekro is, but he threw one of those.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 havent 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.I kind of stayed on the bench for an extra second and hopped on, Seguin said. Kling looked right at me. I got fortunate with a heads-up play.Seguins second goal, his 17th of the season, came on a slap shot from the deep slot, off a feed by Jamie Benn from behind the Edmonton net at 17:42 of the second.It was Seguins fifth multigoal game of the season, also tops in the league.Things have been clicking, and Ive been shooting the puck a bit more than I have in previous years, said Seguin, who led Dallas last season with 37 goals after being acquired from Boston. Kind of doing more of a shooting-first mentality than always trying to pass.Kari Lehtonen stopped 35 shots to win his third straight.Klingberg was fed by a backhand faceoff win by Jason Spezza on the opposite side of the ice, giving Dallas a 1-0 lead at 12:49 of the opening period.That was a lucky goal there. I was going to dump the puck first but kind of wanted to surprise the goalie, Klingberg said.He is also enjoying his hot start.Yeah, thats fun, he said. I try not to think about it. Of course, Im happy.Edmontons goals were a short-handed tally by Boyd Gordon, his fourth of the season, with only 29.6 seconds remaining in the first period, and Taylor Halls club leading eighth and 100th of his NHL career at 5:59 of the third.You could argue that he is the best left winger in the game, Oilers coach Dallas Eakins said. Im happy that he got his 100th goal, but I know Taylor would rather celebrate this with a win.Edmonton threatened to tie the game multiple times in the closing minutes. With about 4:30 to play, Stars centre Cody Eakin cleared a loose puck on the goal line behind Lehtonen.With 13 seconds left, Oilers forward David Perron delivered a wrap-around that struck the crossbar.Were shooting ourselves in the foot and beating ourselves early, Edmonton centre Jordan Eberle said. Then we wake up and find a way to come back, but its too late.Fasth, making his eighth start of the season, faced 34 shots. The Oilers entered the game with the NHLs worst save percentage (.883).After a 7-1 home loss to Chicago on Saturday, the Oilers replaced goalie coach Frederic Chabot with Dustin Schwartz.Klingbergs long goal stood out in this one.It took a really weird way to the net, Fasth said, but I still got to have that. Its one of those I want back.NOTES: The Oilers hadnt scored a first-period goal since Nov. 9. ... The Stars are 11-1-2 in their last 14 games against the Oilers. Michael Matheson Jersey . Locke overcame a shaky start to pitch seven innings and Josh Harrison had three hits to extend his hot streak as the Pirates beat the Miami Marlins 7-3 on Wednesday night. Nick Bjugstad Jersey . Leaning forward with both hands on his knees, Buffon appeared to be resting or somehow trying to withstand the rain. Or perhaps the 36-year-old goalkeeper and Italy captain was reflecting on this: He is only the third player in history to be part of five World Cup squads, along with Germany great Lothar Matthaus and former Mexico goalkeeper Antonio Carbajal. http://www.nhlpanthersauthority.com/authentic-aaron-ekblad-panthers-jersey/. The team sent out a press release on Friday stating Poile was resting and recovering and that he will remain in hospital for further observation. The Predators were preparing for the game against the Wild when Poile was hit by a puck that flew off the ice at him where he was standing in a tunnel behind the bench. James Reimer Jersey . The Nashville Predators were glad their captain was still on their side. Weber had a goal and two assists, and Roman Josi scored the shootout winner to lift the Predators to a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night. Radim Vrbata Jersey . He did one better Sunday by holing out a pitching wedge from 142 yards for eagle, capping a remarkable 28 on the back nine to win The Championship at Laguna National.Atlanta, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - Balanced scoring and a dominant fourth quarter helped the NBAs hottest team to another win on Sunday.

Atlanta turned the ball over just nine times as a team. Washington coach Randy Wittman said the team put itself behind the eight-- ball with the turnovers.dddddddddddd An 8-2 run early in the third quarter helped the Hawks turn a five-point halftime lead into a 64-54 advantage. Walls jumper near the midpoint of the period had Washington within two when three Carroll free throws sparked another Hawks run. Pero Antic and Carroll hit 3s on consecutive touches on the 13-2 flurry, which Thabo Sefolosha capped with a tip-in at 1:19. Sefolosha followed his trey four minutes into the fourth with a drive and dish to Mike Scott for a layup. His outlet pass to Scott on the next possession led to a transition jam, a 20-point Hawk lead and a timeout. The Hawks outscored Washington 33-12 in the fourth to create the lopsided final.
