Ondrej Palat scored twice and Steven Stamkos had the other as the Tampa Bay Lightning edged the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 Thursday night.
Stamkos’ goal, his 26th of the season, moves him into a three-way tie with Tyler Seguin and Rick Nash for the league lead.
Benoit Pouliot scored short-handed and on a power play for the Oilers.
Benoit Pouliot's 4-game goal streak is longest by an @EdmontonOilers player since 2011-12 when both @hallsy04 & @ebs_14 had 2 such streaks.
