EDMONTON, Alberta -- Andrew Cogliano scored a short-handed empty-net goal and the Anaheim Ducks earned a 5-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
David Perron, Jakob Silfverberg, Hampus Lindholm and Corey Perry also scored for the Ducks, who have won three in a row and 10 of their past 12 games to move into second place in the Pacific Division, three points back of the rival L.A. Kings.
Leon Draisaitl, Taylor Hall and Benoit Pouliot scored for the Oilers, who have lost five of their past six.
The Ducks took a 1-0 lead on the power play with 52 seconds left to play in the first period, although it took longer to determine if Perron had indeed scored his 10th of the season.
The play was first reviewed to see if he had kicked the puck in and then whether or not he had interfered with Oilers goalie Cam Talbot on a coach's challenge before being allowed.
A soft shot by Draisaitl got through the legs of Ducks goalie Frederik Andersen to tie it up 1-1 for Edmonton two minutes into the second.
Anaheim went up 2-1 with five minutes left in the second period as Ryan Kesler stole a puck and put it on the stick of Silfverberg, who beat Talbot with a quick shot glove-side.
Hall pounced on a rebound to snap out of a 10-game scoring slump and again got the Oilers even at 16:29.
The Ducks regained the lead at 3-2 five minutes into the third as Lindholm deflected a Rickard Rakell shot over the Oilers goalie.
Edmonton tried to tie it up with the goalie out on a late power play, but ended up allowing a short-handed empty-netter to Cogliano.
Talbot remained out and the Oilers got one more as a Pouliot shot rebounded off the head of Cam Fowler and into the net.
Perry added another empty-netter to put the game away.
