VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Ticker) - The Edmonton Oilers continue a four-game road trip on Saturday when they visit the Vancouver Canucks.

Eight different players registered a point on Thursday as Edmonton opened its four-game swing with a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks - the team's fourth win in five games.

The Oilers are 3-2-1 over their last six games away from home and 12-13-4 overall on the road.

Kyle Brodziak scored a goal against the Sharks - his third tally in two games - while rookie Sam Gagner added an assist to pick up his seventh point in the last five contests.

The Canucks, who are just 2-3-3 in their last eight games, suffered a 5-4 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild on Thursday.

Blue-liner Alex Edler had two goals and an assist to lead Vancouver while Brad Isbister and Ryan Kesler each added a tally.

Kesler is third on the team with 14 goals this season, but his tally on Thursday was his first in six games after logging his last goal on January 29 against the Dallas Stars.
