Final
Hurricanes return home to face struggling Oilers
Nov 1, 2008 - 10:55 AM Edmonton (4-4-1) at Carolina (5-2-2), 3:00 p.m. EDTRALEIGH, North Carolina (Ticker) -- The Carolina Hurricanes return home from a six-game road trip to take on the slumping Edmonton Oilers on Saturday afternoon.
Carolina went 3-1-2 on its two-week trip, which ended with a 1-0 victory at St. Louis on Thursday.
Tuomu Ruutu scored the lone goal in the third period and Cam Ward stopped 19 shots for his seventh career shutout in the win.
Edmonton comes in on a five-game losing streak after opening the season with four straight victories. One more loss would match the team's longest slide of last season.
The Oilers have struggled offensively to say the least, scoring five goals during their skid.
Defenseman Sheldon Souray scored the lone goal on Thursday as Edmonton dropped the first game of a seven-game road trip, 3-1, at Nashville.
It will be Carolina's first home game since a 3-1 loss to Detroit on October 13.
