DALLAS (Ticker) -- Who says scoring is down this season?

With some complaining that scoring has reached as low a point asit was before the 2004-05 lockout, two usually defensive-mindedteams combined for nine goals.


Brenden Morrow got the last one, as the Dallas Stars defeatedthe Edmonton Oilers, 5-4 in overtime on Monday night.

The game got off to a blistering start and Morrow put thefinishing touches on it with a power-play goal with 59 secondsleft in the extra session.


Sergei Zubov controlled the puck at the top of the right circleand zipped a pass to Morrow on the doorstep and the Starscaptain re-directed it past Edmonton goaltender Mathieu Garon.

The tone was set early as the Oilers and Stars scored five goalsin span of 4:40 in the first period, and continued asEdmonton's Shawn Horcoff tied the game 4-4 with 9:24 remainingin the third period.


For Dallas, Zubov had a goal and three assists, while MikeRibeiro and rookie Matt Niskanen each contributed one goal andone assist. Antti Miettinen also added two helpers for Dallas,while Mike Modano also scored.


Dustin Penner led the way for the Oilers with a goal and anassist, as rookie Sam Gagner and Tom Gilbert also tallied.

Gagner scored at 4:26 of the first period, setting off a flurryof activity that saw four more goals scored within a span of2:22 and left the Stars leading 3-2 midway through the openingframe and the Oilers with a new goalie.


First Mike Ribeiro and rookie Matt Niskanen scored goals just 22seconds apart to give the Stars a quick 2-1 lead. Ribeirofinished off a pretty passing play in which all five players onthe ice touched the puck. Then Niskanen ripped a slap shot fromthe blue line through a screen over Edmonton starting goalieDwayne Roloson's shoulder.


The Oilers struck back just 1:10 later as Dustin Penner scoredhis seventh goal on a fluky bounce at 8:26. Penner cut out frombehind the Dallas net for a wrap-around attempt, and the puckdeflected up and off Stars defenseman Stephane Robidas' head andricocheted past Turco.


But the Stars weren't finished as Modano banged home an easytap-in from the lip of the crease off a nice cross-ice pass fromJussi Jokinen with Roloson down for his 10th goal of the seasonat 9:06 to put the Stars back in front 3-2.


With Roloson having surrendered three goals on six shots,Edmonton coach Craig McTavish opted to replace him with Garon.
