Slumping Oilers try to snap skid

Oct 30, 2008 - 10:33 AM Edmonton (4-3-1) at Nashville (4-4-1), 8:00 p.m. EDT

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) -- The Edmonton Oilers hope to snap a four-game losing streak when they visit the Nashville Predators on Thursday.

Edmonton won its first four games to begin the season but have struggled for offense during its skid.

The Oilers were blanked, 1-0, in overtime by the Boston Bruins on Monday and have scored a total of just four goals during their slide.

Snapping their skid may be difficult against the Predators, who have defeated the Oilers eight straight times. Nashville outscored Edmonton, 19-8, in four meetings last season.

The Predators, who have won three of their four home games thus far, are coming off a 4-3 shootout loss to the Washington Capitals on Tuesday.

J.P. Dumont leads Nashville with 10 assists and 12 points. Dumont, who is in the midst of a five-game points streak, had three assists in Tuesday's setback.

Edmonton's longest losing streak last season was six games, with two of those setbacks coming beyond regulation.
