DALLAS (Ticker) -- The Edmonton Oilers entered this season with lofty expectations and have faltered since a promising start.

After dropping five of their last seven games, the Oilers hope to begin a stretch of consistency when they visit the struggling Dallas Stars on Sunday.

Edmonton began the season with four straight wins, but have since failed to win more than two in a row at any time. The Oilers snapped a two-game skid with a 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday and have the chance to notch a two-game win streak for the first time since November 9-10 in this contest.

Though Edmonton is 0-3-1 at home in November, it has been impressive on the road, going 6-3-0 this month.

Dallas has also failed to generate any positive momentum and things have not gotten easier without injured captain Brenden Morrow, who suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the Stars' 6-3 loss on November 20. Since then, they are 1-2-1.

Dallas, another club that entered with high hopes, has yet to record a winning streak. The Stars have surrendered three or more goals in six of their 11 games in November.
