EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) Lee Stempniak scored the winning goal, and the Winnipeg Jets solidified their Western Conference playoff spot with a 4-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night.

Drew Stafford, Tyler Myers and Michael Frolik also scored for the Jets, who have won five in a row.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had the lone goal for the Oilers, who have lost nine of 11.
