Wyatt Johnston got the shootout winner and had three assists to give the host Dallas Stars a 4-3 come-from-behind win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.

Mikko Rantanen scored twice to eclipse 300 career goals and had an assist, and Miro Heiskanen also scored for the Stars, who stretched their points streak to seven games (4-0-3). Casey DeSmith stopped 23 shots. Jason Robertson chipped in the Stars' other shootout goal.

Connor McDavid had a goal and an assist and Vasily Podkolzin and Leon Draisaitl got the other regulation goals for the Oilers, who blew a 2-0 lead and lost for the second straight night. Jack Roslovic had two assists and Stuart Skinner made 24 saves.

Draisaitl scored in the shootout.

Heiskanen tied the game 3-3 with 7:40 left when he connected on a rebound off the back boards for his third goal of the season.

Rantanen's power-play goal 9:10 into the second period made it 2-1.

He poked in a backhand shot while falling during a goal-mouth scramble for the 300th goal of his career, becoming the fourth player from Finland to reach that mark. He joins Jari Kurri, Teemu Selanne and Olli Jokinen.

McDavid restored the two-goal lead 7:51 into the third when he scored from the bottom of the left circle off the rush for his fourth goal of the year. McDavid hit the goal post earlier in the period.

But it only took 46 seconds for Rantanen to make it 3-2 with his seventh goal at 8:37 with a shot from the slot off the rush.

Rantanen hit the goal post on a breakaway about 12 seconds into the middle period.

Edmonton scored twice in the first seven minutes of the opening period to take a 2-0 lead.

Podkolzin opened the scoring 3:40 in when he tapped in a cross-slot pass from the bottom of the left circle off the rush for his second goal. The pass was a one-handed effort by Roslovic.

Draisaitl fired in a power-play goal at 7:07. He connected on his patented one-timer from along the goal line in the right corner. It was his 10th goal.
