Oilers look to turn around fortunes vs. Canucks

Feb 6, 2007 - 5:29 PM Vancouver (29-20-4) at Edmonton (26-23-4) 9:00 pm EST

EDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) - The Edmonton Oilers are chasing one of their toughest foes as they pursue a playoff spot.

The Oilers will try to snap a three-game losing streak against the surging Vancouver Canucks when the teams face off Tuesday.

Stanley Cup finalists last year, Edmonton is six points behind Vancouver, which is tied with Minnesota for third place in the Northwest Division and seventh in the Western Conference.

However, the Oilers have struggled against the Canucks, who are 3-2-1 against their division foe so far this season.

In its last game, Edmonton held on for a 3-2 victory over Colorado on Saturday. Ryan Smyth and Shawn Horcoff scored 30 seconds apart in the latter half of the third period for the Oilers, who have won three of their last four games.

The Canucks have been playing extremely well as of late but are coming off Saturday's 4-3 loss to Calgary on Saturday. It was their first regulation defeat in eight road games.

Twins Henrik and Daniel Sedin each scored and Roberto Luongo stopped 38 shots for Vancouver, which fell to 12-2-3 in its last 17 contests overall.
