Oilers look to end six-game slide

Jan 2, 2008 - 1:27 PM Edmonton (16-20-4) at St Louis (19-14-4) 8:30 pm EST

ST. LOUIS (Ticker) - The Edmonton Oilers hope a change in the calendar will bring about a change in fortune Wednesday.

Shawn Horcoff will try to help the Oilers snap a six-game losing streak when they visit the St. Louis Blues.

Horcoff, who leads the club with 16 goals and 34 points this season, has not done much for Edmonton over its current slide. The 29-year-old center has been held pointless with a minus-1 rating over the last six games.

After suffering five consecutive one-goal setbacks, the Oilers suffered a 4-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday.

The Blues were on a four-game losing skid before defeating the Detroit Red Wings, 2-0, on Monday. Goaltender Manny Legace was impressive against his former team, making 31 saves in the contest.

Despite winning just five games over the month of December, St. Louis remains tied for second in the Central Division.

Brad Boyes leads the club with 21 goals, while Paul Kariya has a team-leading 23 assists and 34 points this season.
