Watch: Oilers score twice in less than a minute, take two-goal lead over Stars heading into third period

Then, 51 seconds later, the Oilers scored again just as the Stars' man advantage had ended. After Connor McDavid pounced on a loose puck in the neutral zone, Leon Draisaitl completed a two-on-one with Zach Hyman to increase the Oilers' advantage to two goals. 

While going a long way toward helping the Oilers potentially tie the conference final at two games apiece, the goal also helped Draisaitl get off a bit of a schneid. The former Hart Trophy winner had scored just once over the last six games and gone pointless over Games 2 and 3.

Edmonton's two-goal second period came after it finished the first stanza strong. Down 2-0 only 5:29 into Game 4, tallies from Ryan McLeod and Evan Bouchard, separated by just 2:47 of game time, tied things at 2-2 after the opening period.

The Oilers were once staring a 3-1 deficit in the face. However, following an offensive explosion over the last period-and-a-half, they're now only 20 minutes away from sending the series back to Dallas all evened up.
