Coyotes conclude Western Canada trip in Edmonton

Jan 18, 2009 - 8:06 AM Phoenix (23-18-5) at Edmonton (22-19-3), 9:00 pm EST

EDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) -- The Phoenix Coyotes appear to be feeling right at home in Western Canada.

The Coyotes will seek their third straight win Sunday, when they visit the Edmonton Oilers.

Peter Mueller and rookie Mikkel Boedker recorded a goal and an assist apiece as the Coyotes posted a 4-3 victory over the Calgary Flames on Saturday.

Defenseman David Hale and Olli Jokinen also tallied, Martin Hanzal notched two assists and Ilya Bryzgalov turned aside 29 shots as Phoenix improved to 4-1-0 in its last five games.

The victory was the Coyotes' second straight over a team from Western Canada after recording a 4-1 triumph over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday.

The Oilers, who are seeking their fourth win in five games, are going to retire Glenn Anderson's No. 9 in a ceremony before the game.

"I hope my players get to enjoy it a lot tomorrow night," Anderson's former teammate and Coyotes coach Wayne Gretzky said. "It's a great honor for us to be part of the ceremony. It was a pleasure for me to play with him and it's a well-deserved honor and it's going to be a fun night."

Shawn Horcoff snapped a tie with 6:35 left in the third period to help the Oilers post a 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Friday.
