EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) -- Richard Bachman made 29 saves for his second NHL shutout and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Dallas Stars 4-0 on Friday night.
Jordan Eberle, Derek Roy, Benoit Pouliot and Andrew Miller scored to help the Oilers win their second straight game.
Kari Lehtonen made 24 saves for the Stars. They had won four in a row.
Dallas remained eight points behind Winnipeg for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference, with just seven games left.
Edmonton got off to a quick start, scoring on the game's first shot at 33 seconds. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins fanned on a shot, but hooked the puck in front for Eberle, who beat Lehtonen for his 22nd goal of the season.
Since the NHL All-Star break, only Dallas captain Jamie Benn has scored more points than Eberle.
Lehtonen kept it a one-goal game midway through the second period, stopping Nugent-Hopkins on a clear breakaway attempt.
Dallas had 23 shots on Bachman through 40 minutes, to 16 for Edmonton.
Edmonton made it 2-0 midway through the third. Nail Yakupov's pass from behind the net went off the skate of defender Alex Goligoski to Roy, who snapped it past Lehtonen for his 12th of the season.
The Oilers went up by three goals a few minutes later as Taylor Hall spotted Pouliot at the side of the net during a scramble in the Dallas end and the veteran winger potted his 17th.
Edmonton rookie Miller was awarded a late penalty shot and scored his first-career NHL goal to make it 4-0.
The Stars wrap up a three-game trip in Vancouver on Saturday. The Oilers are idle until Monday when they travel to Colorado.
