Jamie Benn scored his 400th career goal and Jason Robertson continued his torrid scoring spree as the visiting Dallas Stars trounced the floundering Edmonton Oilers 8-3 on Tuesday.

Wyatt Johnston scored once in a four-point game, Robertson netted one goal and two assists, Nathan Bastian tallied twice and Roope Hintz, Sam Steel and Justin Hryckowian added singles for Dallas. Benn, Steel, Tyler Seguin and Radek Faksa all had two-point games.

Goaltender Jake Oettinger made 22 saves for the Stars, who are on a 7-1-1 tear.

Connor Clattenburg, Evan Bouchard and Jack Roslovic replied for the Oilers, who have only one victory in five outings (1-3-1).

Edmonton's starting goalie, Stuart Skinner, was pulled after the first period, in which he surrendered four goals on eight shots. Calvin Pickard stopped 18 of 22 shots in relief.

Benn sent the Stars off and running on the game's first shot at 3:48 when he tapped home a loose puck at the edge of the crease for his milestone marker. He became the 113th player in NHL history score 400 goals.

Hintz doubled the lead at 10:51 of the first, pouncing on a rebound from the low slot for a power-play goal.

Bastian extended the margin less than five minutes later by firing a top-corner shot when he elected to shoot on a 2-on-1 rush. At the time, Edmonton had managed only three shots on net.

Steel capped the one-sided opening frame at 18:46 when he slipped home a puck lying in the crease.

Clattenburg, playing his second NHL game, put the Oilers on the board with his first career big-league tally thanks to a rebound chance at 4:39 of the second, but the Stars subsequently put down the hammer again.

Robertson added another power-play goal 10 minutes later, a tap-in tally set up by Johnston's feed. Johnston then netted a man-advantage marker 95 seconds later when he whacked home a loose puck.

Robertson has tallied 11 times in a seven-game goal streak. He is also riding an eight-game points streak (11 goals, seven assists).

Bouchard and Roslovic traded third-period goals with Hryckowian and Bastian to round out the scoring.
