Red Wings begin road trip in Edmonton

Hockey Betting Lines

11/20/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Detroit Red Wings aim for their fourth straight win tonight, as they begin a three-game tour of western Canada with a stop in Edmonton to take on the Oilers at Rexall Place.

The Red Wings were last in action on Monday, when they blanked the Oilers, 4-0, at home. Ty Conklin stopped all 21 shots faced for his first shutout this year and fifth of his career. Conklin, a former Oiler in his first season with the Red Wings after going 18-8-5 with Pittsburgh a year ago, is 5-1-0 with a 2.47 goals against average in six starts this season.

Niklas Kronwall's first-period power-play goal was all the Red Wings needed to win their third straight, while Mikael Samuelsson, Jiri Hudler and Johan Franzen also scored. Henrik Zetterberg added two assists, as the Red Wings record at least a point for the sixth straight game (5-0-1).

Franzen lit the lamp for a fourth straight game since returning from a left knee injury, while Mikael Samuelsson (2 goals, 4 assists) and Kronwall (1g, 5a) each have six points over their last four games.

Detroit has outscored opponents 11-5 over its winning streak and 17-8 over its last five wins. The Red Wings, 8-1-1 on the road thanks to a three-game winning streak as the visiting club, have also netted 34 goals in 10 road games this year, second-most in the league. Only the Oilers, who have skated in 14 road games this year, have more with 39.

Dwayne Roloson allowed all four goals on 41 shots in that loss on Monday, a contest that saw Fernando Pisani leave with a broken left ankle. The setback was also the Oilers' third in a row.

However, the club's offense responded in a big way the following night, netting a season-high in goals with a 7-2 victory over Columbus. The seven goals were the most scored by the Oilers since March 22, 2008 and came on just 19 shots, good for a 36.8 shooting percentage.

Roloson also came back with a solid game, making 37 saves.

Shawn Horcoff, who will become the 18th player in club history to skate in 500 games with the club tonight, had a goal and two assists, while Andrew Cogliano, Sheldon Souray, Lubomir Visnovsky and Tom Gilbert each scored and added a helper for Edmonton, which had netted only four goals total over its three-game skid.

Ales Hemsky had three assists, giving him a team-high 15 helpers and 20 points this year.

Edmonton is 2-1-2 as the home team this year and will be off until next Wednesday, when it will host the Los Angeles Kings.

Detroit has won three of its last five versus the Oilers, but has dropped three of four in Edmonton.
