Dec 10, 2007 - 3:02 PM Edmonton (13-16-1) at Dallas (15-11-4) 8:30 pm EST

DALLAS (Ticker) - The Edmonton Oilers will look to continue their recent success away from Rexall Place when they kick off a three-game road trip with a visit to the Colorado Avalanche on Monday night.

The Oilers, who are coming off back-to-back losses at home, will attempt to win their third straight contest on the road. The club has won four of their previous five contests away from Edmonton.

Overall, the Oilers have won six of their last nine games and are threatening to climb out of the basement in the Northwest Division.

Edmonton has been led by Shawn Horcoff, who leads the club with 13 goals and 30 points, and some of the NHL's top rookies. First-year sensations Andrew Cogliano and Sam Gagner have combined for eight tallies and 20 assists this season.

The Stars are also looking to avoid their third straight defeat after suffering consecutive setbacks to the San Jose Sharks and the Ottawa Senators. Dallas has failed to score more than two goals in five of its last six games.

After winning six consecutive games, the Stars have fallen in four of their past six.
