Oilers go for third consecutive win, revenge vs. Calgary

Jan 20, 2007 - 5:04 PM Calgary (25-17-4) at Edmonton (23-20-4) 10:00 pm EST

EDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) -- The Edmonton Oilers aim for their third straight win and at the same time look for revenge when they host the Calgary Flames on Saturday.

The Oilers, 5-4-1 in their last 10, have suffered two losses against the Flames in that span. Calgary downed Edmonton, 4-2, on December 31 despite Ryan Smyth's two goals, and beat the Oilers again, 3-1 on Saturday.

Edmonton won its second straight with a 4-1 triumph over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday. Smyth, who has 23 goals this season, scored twice in the third period to help the Oilers pull away.

The two goals snapped a slump for the center, who had gone six straight games without a tally.

The Flames snapped a two-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the Ducks on Friday. Defenseman Dion Phaneuf led the Flames with a goal and an assist to extend his points streak to four games. Phaneuf has two goals and three assists during his streak.

Miikka Kiprusoff made 22 saves to snap a two-game losing streak while Kristian Huselius assisted on Alex Tanguay's first-period goal, extending his points streak to six games. The left wing has five goals and four assists in that span.

Calgary leads Edmonton by four points in the Northwest Division, but the Oilers have a game in hand.
