03/18/2012 23:07 Coyotes win, improve playoff standing
Ray Whitney scored in the third period and added the shootout winner as the Phoenix Coyotes bounced back from a two-goal deficit to defeat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Sunday night.
03/15/2012 01:06 Oilers snap three-game losing streak
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had a goal and an assist, Devan Dubnyk stopped 22 shots for his second shutout of the season and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-0 on Wednesday to snap a three-game skid.
Horcoff had a year to forget last season, tallying only nine goals in 47 games and missing the last month of the season with a broken ankle. Horcoff is still the Oilers' No. 1 center, which tells you all you need to know about why the team drafted Ryan Nugent-Hopkins first overall in this year's draft. Horcoff will have talented players in Taylor Hall and Ales Hemsky on his flanks, but one has to wonder if sooner or later the Oilers may find a more gifted offensive skater to anchor the top line.
