Nabokov, Sharks go for third straight win vs. Oilers

Jan 29, 2008 - 2:25 PM San Jose (27-15-7) at Edmonton (23-24-5) 9:30 pm EST

EDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) - Evgeni Nabokov just refuses to take a day off.

Nabokov again is expected to be in goal Tuesday when the San Jose Sharks visit the Edmonton Oilers.

The 32-year-old netminder has started 48 of the Sharks' 49 games this season. He also was impressive in Sunday's All-Star Game, when he did not allow a goal in his 20 minutes of action.

A seven-year veteran, Nabokov leads the NHL with 27 wins to go along with a 2.16 goals-against average and five shutouts.

Shawn Horcoff, who leads the Oilers with 21 goals and 50 points, will try to solve Nabokov.

Edmonton, which is starting a four-game homestand, ended a five-game road trip before the break with a 4-3 shootout victory over the Florida Panthers on Thursday.

It was the 12th win in the bonus format for the Oilers, already tying an NHL record.
