Oilers return home to face Wild

Jan 12, 2007 - 2:28 PM Minnesota (22-19-3) at Edmonton (21-18-4) 9:00 pm EST

EDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) - The Edmonton Oilers ended their three-game road trip on a positive note, and hope the momentum carries over when they host the Minnesota Wild on Friday.

The Oilers ended their trip with two wins, a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Monday and a 3-2 triumph over the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday. In the win over the Sharks, Jarret Stoll scored the eventual game-winner on the power play.

Edmonton scored two power-play goals, a rarity for a team whose 15.6 conversion rate with the extra skater is ranked 24th in the NHL.

Stoll, who has 13 goals this season, has been productive lately with two goals and six assists in his last six games.

The Wild snapped a three-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday. Marian Gaborik led Minnesota with two goals while Brian Rolston has a goal and two assists.

The tally broke a three-game goalless streak for Rolston, who leads the Wild with 22 goals.
