Dustin Penner scored the tiebreaking goal with 3:17 to play, Ryan Getzlaf extended his points streak to 14 games, and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Edmonton Oilers, 3-2, on Sunday night at the Honda Center for their fifth consecutive victory.
Corey Perry's seven-game goal streak ended, but his linemates connected for the deciding score in the Pacific Division-leading Ducks' 15th win in their last 17 meetings with last-place Edmonton.
Teemu Selanne ended his 19-game goal drought in the second period, and Jonas Hiller made 23 saves to help the Ducks improve to 13-0-2 at Honda Center.
Sam Gagner scored the tying goal with 9:34 to play for the Oilers, who have lost three straight. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored, and Ilya Bryzgalov stopped 31 shots.
Nick Bonino also scored as the Ducks shook off early rust in their return from three days off to complete a three-game homestand. Anaheim is the only NHL team without a regulation loss at home, extending the second-longest such streak to open a season in the shootout era.
Penner beat Bryzgalov with a wrist shot from the circle after a setup from Getzlaf, who has scored in each of his last 16 games. The Anaheim captain's streak only counts as 14 games because of an injury absence.
The Ducks also got a timely contribution from Selanne, who hadn't scored a goal since Oct. 20 -- matching the longest drought of his two-decade NHL career -- and had no points in his last 16 games. The 43-year-old Finnish Flash finally picked up his 679th career goal in front of Bryzgalov on a setup from Mathieu Perreault, adding to the 11th-best total in NHL history.
The goal put Anaheim in control until Gagner took advantage of a mix-up near the Ducks' blue line and broke past rookie defenseman Hampus Lindholm, beating Hiller with a wobbly backhand for just his fourth goal of the season.
The injury-plagued Ducks finally got some good news before the game, welcoming back defenseman Francois Beauchemin and Perreault. Beauchemin was a plus-15 before missing the last 10 games with an upper-body injury, while Perreault missed four games with a lower-body injury.
Nugent-Hopkins scored shortly after Edmonton killed off a penalty in the first period, deflecting Taylor Hall's shot in the air for his eighth goal.
Bonino answered with his ninth goal in front, converting a slick behind-the-net feed from Patrick Maroon.
Edmonton's Corey Potter got a major and a game misconduct for checking Bonino from behind in the second period, sending the Anaheim center face-first into the boards. Bonino wasn't hurt, and the Ducks did nothing with the ensuing five-minute power play.
