EDMONTON -- Mason Raymond scored a hat trick to lead the Calgary Flames to a 5-2 win against the Edmonton Oilers at Rexall Place on Thursday, putting a damper on the Oilers' 1984 Stanley Cup reunion party.

Raymond scored the Flames' first goal, their go-ahead goal and an insurance goal for his third career hat trick.

Jiri Hudler and TJ Brodie also scored for the Flames.

Teddy Purcell and Taylor Hall scored for the Oilers, who honored the 30th anniversary of their first championship team that included Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier.

Raymond gave the Flames the lead at 3:16 of the first period, tipping a shot by Mark Giordano over the right shoulder of goaltender Ben Scrivens.

One minute later, Hudler put the Flames up 2-0, left alone in front of the net following a turnover in the corner. Oilers defenseman Mark Fayne lost possession of the puck, which eventually came to Flames center Sean Monahan, who spotted Hudler in the slot.

Purcell cut the lead to 2-1 with his first goal with the Oilers, connecting on a power play at 12:59. The right wing took a cross-ice pass from David Perron and beat Flames goaltender Karri Ramo.

Hall tied the game 11:25 into the second period, converting on a two-man advantage. The left wing took a pass from center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and one-timed a shot past Ramo.

Minutes after Hall's goal, Oilers defenseman Brad Hunt came close to giving them the lead, hitting the crossbar with a point shot.

In the third period, Raymond restored the Flames' lead at 4:23, finding space along the right wing and firing a shot over Scrivens' glove.

Raymond scored his third at 14:42, fighting off Oilers defenseman Justin Schultz and converting a cross-crease pass from Hudler. Brodie added a goal at 19:20.

Ramo made 38 saves for the Flames; Scrivens made 21 for the Oilers.
