Flames' top line combines for 11 points in wild win over Oilers

Matthew Tkachuk had two goals and two assists and Johnny Gaudreau had a career-high five assists on Saturday to lead the Calgary Flames to a wild 9-5 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.

Tkachuk has 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in the last four games while Gaudreau also has 11 points in that same span (three goals, eight assists).

Leon Draisaitl had a hat-trick to lead the attack for Edmonton (36-25-5) with Derick Brassard and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scoring one each.

Jacob Markstrom had 26 saves for Calgary. He is 31-12-7.

Mike Smith, in relief of Mikko Koskinen, ended up with the loss to fall to 7-9-2. He stopped 22-of-26 shots he faced. Koskinen allowed five goals on 12 shots.

The two provincial rivals ended up splitting the four-game season series.

Tied 4-4 early in the second, the Flames took their third and final lead of the night on a pair of goals less than three minutes apart from Tkachuk.

WATCH | Tkachuk scores twice in high-scoring affair:

At 5:06, Gaudreau muscled his way past Evan Bouchard to retrieve a loose puck, he then spun and sent a pass into the slot to a wide open Tkachuk, who sent a shot through Koskinen's pads. That ended the night for Koskinen.

It didn't start off any better for Smith, who was beaten between the pads by Tkachuk at 7:39 when an Oilers turnover in their own end allowed Gaudreau to find Tkachuk in behind the defence.

Brandishing a lethal power play, back roared the Oilers again, making it 6-5 when they converted a two-man advantage they got when Erik Gudbranson was sent off for high-sticking three seconds into an Andrew Mangiapane penalty.

Draisitl's third of the game at 9:18 of the second and 47th of the season brought over about 50 hats from the boisterous Oilers supporters
