Evan Bouchard<\/a>, Jack Roslovic<\/a> and Connor Clattenburg<\/a> scored for the Oilers (10-10-5), who have lost four of their past five (1-3-1).<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really have an answer right now. It\u2019s just really, start to finish, not good enough,\u201d said Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s very concerning. Everything is very concerning. We\u2019re nearly 30 games in and still don\u2019t seem to have it down or know what we are.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really know what to say, it\u2019s just not good enough right now.”<\/p>\n

Stuart Skinner<\/a> allowed four goals on eight shots in the first period before Calvin Pickard<\/a> took over in goal to start the second period and made 18 saves.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really feel like goaltending is a team thing,\u201d said Oilers captain Connor McDavid<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s tough for goalies to look good when the group in front of them is not playing well. I don\u2019t really care who it is, when the team in front of them is not playing up to their standards, then it is tough for a goalie to look good. I felt bad for both of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve still got lots of confidence. I know it doesn\u2019t seem like it, but there\u2019s still an overarching belief that we\u2019ll figure it out. Obviously, doesn\u2019t look that way now, but at least I still feel it.”<\/p>\n

Benn put the Stars ahead 1-0 at 3:48 of the first period, after Johnston dug the puck out behind the net before sending him a cross-crease pass for the putaway with his first goal of the season.<\/p>\n

The Dallas captain was playing in his fourth game of the season after missing the first 19 games after sustaining a collapsed lung in a preseason game. With the goal, Benn became the second player in franchise history to reach the 400-goal milestone, after Mike Modano<\/a> (557).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt kind of all came together tonight,\u201d Benn said. \u201cObviously, our start was great, that\u2019s how we want to start games on the road, especially against good teams like this.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know what they\u2019re all about over there, so having a good start goes a long way.”<\/p>\n

Roope Hintz<\/a> made it 2-0 on the power play at 10:51, picking up the rebound off a shot by Miro Heiskanen<\/a> and sending it over Skinner\u2019s right shoulder.<\/p>\n

Bastian extended the lead to 3-0 at 15:24, winning a puck battle along the boards in the neutral zone to spring an odd-man rush before cutting into the slot and going top shelf with a wrist shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor guys like me that maybe don\u2019t get as many chances as some of those guys that create a lot of offense, when you do get a chance you have to try and put the puck in a good spot,\u201d Bastian said. \u201cI don\u2019t know when my next 2-on-1 is going to be so I wanted to shoot and it turned.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Evan Bouchard, Jack Roslovic and Connor Clattenburg scored for the Oilers (10-10-5), who have lost four of their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":307806,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-307805","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=307805"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307805\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/307806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=307805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=307805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
