Korpikoski, Talbot lift Oilers past Jets 2-1

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Lauri Korpikoski scored the go-ahead goal late in the second period and Cam Talbot made 39 saves as the Edmonton Oilers edged the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 on Sunday night.

Patrick Maroon also scored for Edmonton, which moved out of last place in the Western Conference -- one point ahead of Calgary and tied with Winnipeg with 59 points.

Mark Scheifele scored the lone goal for Winnipeg, a day after his first career NHL hat trick.

With the game tied at 1, Andrej Sekera made a slick move to funnel down toward the Winnipeg goal and found Korpikoski, who -- on one knee -- jammed home a loose puck in the slot for the 2-1 lead at 16:20 of the second.
