EDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) -- The New York Islanders will seek
their first road win in six weeks when they host the Edmonton

and two assists in Saturday's 5-3 setback to the Sharks, who own
the league's best record.

bottom of the NHL's standings with 28 points. The Islanders are
2-12-2 since the end of November.
The Oilers enjoyed a good start to their five-game homestand,
cruising to a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Saturday.
Defenseman Sheldon Souray scored a goal and set up another and
Sam Gagner and Shawn Horcoff had two assists for Edmonton, which
has won four of its previous six contests.
