The Arizona Coyotes found their scoring touch in their last game, and theyve had no problem finishing chances over a sustained stretch against the Edmonton Oilers. The Pacific Division stragglers meet Sunday night in Edmonton with the Oilers trying to put an end to their streaky ways. The Oilers (6-9-2) have been especially up-and-down this season with wins and losses coming in bunches. Their scoring has followed that streaky trend lately. Thursdays 4-3 overtime loss to Ottawa kicked off a five-game homestand with a second straight defeat, though escaping with a point was a bonus after falling behind by three in the first period for a second straight game. Its good that we didnt just throw in the towel and say they can just have this one, said Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who had a pair of assists. We battled back hard (in Tuesdays 3-2 loss at Nashville) and we did the same tonight. We got a point out of this tonight. We showed some good things there for sure, but those things cant happen, we cant go out there and get down three. The 20 first-period goals the Oilers have allowed are tied with Arizona for the most in the Western Conference. The Oilers will have star forward Taylor Hall in the lineup for tonights game. His first game action since injuring his MCL on Nov. 1. Coach Dallas Eakins said Hall would likely play on a number lines. Goalie Ben Scrivens has suffered from that with a 0-3-1 record and 3.76 GAA in his last four starts. He allowed six goals in the first meeting with Arizona and fell to 1-2-1 with a 3.16 GAA in the matchup. Viktor Fasth has been no better against the Coyotes with a 0-1-1 mark and 3.89 GAA. Arizona (7-9-1) ended a three-game losing streak with Fridays 5-0 win at Vancouver. Martin Hanzal scored the first three goals before five minutes had passed in the second period, and Shane Done and Keith Yandle completed the dominant night. Hanzal had been held without a point during the losing streak with a minus-4 rating, and his importance hasnt been lost on the teams captain. Obviously, our most important player is Martin Hanzal, Doan said. When hes rolling, were a better team, and he got rolling tonight. Continued power-play production could help move things along. Yandles goal came with the advantage, and the Coyotes are 2 for 5 in their last two games after a 0-for-18 stretch. Theyre 2-6-0 when they go without a power-play goal and 5-3-1 with at least one. It was also their first shutout, providing a much-needed boost for their goaltending. Devan Dubnyk made 35 saves and improved to 3-0-1 with a 2.54 goals-against average in his first start since allowing five goals on Nov. 2 in Washington. While Dubnyk is yet to face his former team, starter Mike Smith certainly has and is 9-0-1 with a 2.46 GAA in his last 11 starts against the Oilers. This season has been considerably more trying as Smith has gone 4-9-0 with a 3.43 GAA, including three straight losses and nine goals allowed in his last two. Arizona hasnt suffered a regulation loss in Edmonton since Nov. 23, 2009, going 8-0-1 in that span. Overall, Arizona is 16-1-3 in the series since that loss with 3.7 goals per game. The Coyotes nearly doubled that in a 7-4 home win Oct. 15 to open the season series. Mikkel Boedker had three goals and an assist for the Coyotes and has 10 points on a five-game streak against Edmonton. Cheap Air Jordan 11 Retro Rose .A.
