The Edmonton Oilers visit New Jersey to face the Devils this evening for their final contest before the Olympic hiatus. http://www.mexiconationalshop.com/...Copa-America-Jersey/ . The Oilers are coming into the contest following a 2-1 victory over the New York Rangers last night at Madison Square Garden. Ben Scrivens was excellent with 35 saves and Nail Yakupov netted the game-winner with 1:38 to go in regulation. Scrivens helped Edmonton move to 5-1-0 in its last six games, stoning Ryan Callahan on a short-handed breakaway just past the midway mark of the second before posting another 12 stops in the final frame. "I think that was our top game of the season," said Yakupov. "Not too many turnovers and our goalie played an awesome game." Ryan Smyth scored Edmontons first tally and the go-ahead goal came after Taylor Hall won a battle for the puck behind the New York net. He sent it out to Sam Gagner, whose centering pass from the left corner was rocketed by a charging Yakupov. "It was one of those games where we had to scratch and claw for everything we got," Hall remarked. "Sometimes those games are a lot more fun than the 8-2 wins or the wins where youre ahead off the bat." Scrivens improved to 3-3-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .948 save percentage since being acquired from the Los Angeles Kings, but Ilya Bryzgalov could still start tonights game for the Oilers. Bryzgalov is 5-5-0 with a 2.09 GAA, .919 save percentage and two shutouts in his career versus the Devils. Edmonton moved to 10-19-4 as the visiting team this season and wraps a four- game road trip tonight. The Oilers play their first five at home following the Olympic break. The Oilers posted a 5-4 shootout win over the visiting Devils back on Oct. 7, snapping a two-game series losing streak. They are 3-0-2 in the past five encounters overall, but have lost three of the last four in New Jersey. The Devils have allowed a game-tying goal in the final two minutes of their past three games, going 1-0-2 as each contest went to overtime. They recovered to beat the Dallas Stars 3-2 on Jan. 30, but lost a 3-2 decision in Nashville the following night before again getting burned in a 2-1 setback versus the Colorado Avalanche on Monday. Ryan Carter scored an early goal for New Jersey, but Colorado picked up a game-tying goal with 1:47 to go in regulation as P.A. Parenteau tipped home a Tyson Barrie shot from the point. New Jerseys Andy Greene then took a slashing penalty with 42 ticks left in regulation and the Avalanche cashed in 28 seconds into overtime on another deflection goal. "Tonight, the story is we have to find a way to get the second and third goal," noted Devils head coach Peter DeBoer. "We got one goal out of our fourth line and enough chances to get five. If you let anybody hang around in this league long enough, bad things will happen and thats the story lately." Cory Schneider made 23 saves in his fourth straight start as the Devils fell to 1-2-2 in their past five games. They sit five points back of Detroit for the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference. Schneider will get the start again tonight and ranks second in the NHL with a 1.91 goals against average. He is 4-2-0 lifetime versus the Oilers with a 1.98 GAA.

The 6-foot-8, 300-pounder hopes to be cleared to play for Arizonas home against Seattle on Thursday night. Another test was scheduled for Monday. Campbell underwent tests at Stanford University for possible neck and spine injuries, and all results were favourable. He was released late Thursday and flew to Arizona in the plane of Cardinals President Michael Bidwill. He participated in the teams walk-through practice Monday and expressed no qualms about returning. "I feel pretty good now," he said. "Footballs my life. Im definitely looking forward to strapping it up and playing again." Coach Bruce Arians said Campbell bruised his spine, but Campbell said he wasnt exactly sure what was wrong. "It was scary for a second," he said. Teammate Sam Acho saw Campbell on Monday and tweeted: "Hes smiling and looking as good as ever." Meanwhile, 49ers owner Jed York criticized some of his teams fans for doing the wave while Campbell was down. He said in a tweet Sunday that to say he was "disappointed wouuld be an understatement. http://www.mexiconationalshop.com/...opa-America-Jersey/. ." Arizona linebacker Daryl Washington called the fans reaction "disrespectful." Campbell called it "not that big of a deal" and said all he heard were cheers of support. "When I got off the field I put my thumbs up," he said. "The crowd gave me a pretty good cheer. So I felt pretty good about that. I felt a lot of love coming off the field." The lineman said he was injured trying to make Frank Gore fumble. "I put my head down," Campbell said. "I got up with kind of like a stinger feeling, but it went all the way down to my feet." Medical personnel took no chances even though feeling began to return to his hands and feet while he was still down on his back. "I wanted to get up," Campbell said. "But they wanted to make sure nothing serious was wrong." He was strapped down so he couldnt move as he was taken off the field. Arians said hes seen a number of players carried off on a stretcher and was encouraged by Campbells reactions. "He was coherent and talking and you could see the fingers and feet starting to come back pretty fast, so I was very optimistic," Arians said. Wholesale Jerseys China ' ' '
