Edmonton Oilers goalie Nikolai Khabibulin celebrates his teams win in the overtime shootout of their NHL hockey game in Edmonton, Alberta, on Tuesday. Edmonton beat Dallas 5-4 after an overtime shootout.

EDMONTON, Alberta Goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin came up big in the shootout to earn a milestone victory.

A game after his goaltending gaffe led to a loss in Edmontons home opener, Khabibulin became just the 24th goaltender in NHL history to hit the 300 career win mark.

He stopped all three shots in the shootut as Edmonton beat the Dallas Stars 5-4 on Tuesday night. Khabibulin had a far better night than Saturday, when he lost the handle on the puck with less than a minute, a miscue that led to a Calgary goal and 4-3 loss to the rival Flames.

That was a hard way to lose that first game so it was good to see the team rewarded tonight, said the 36-year-old free agent acquisition. Its nice to hit that milestone but right now I am just happy that we won the game. Ill try to build on it and make sure I dont stop at 300, I guess.

Ales Hemsky scored the lone goal in the shootout session and Mike Comrie, Sam Gagner, Dustin Penner and Denis Grebeshkov scored in regulation for the Oilers (1-1-0).

Oilers head coach Pat Quinn was glad to see his team hit the win column, even if he thought they had looked better in their debut than against the Stars.

It feels good even if I thought we were better the first night than tonight, he said. You never know when you are going to get the result. Khabibulin made some big stops for us to keep us alive and we did enough scoring to get back in it. But from a coaching standpoint, I still feel we have a lot of work to do.

Brenden Morrow responded with a pair of goals while James Neal and Stephane Robidas also scored for Dallas (0-0-2), which suffered its second shootout loss in a row.
