(SportsNetwork.com) - After splitting the first two games of a four-game road trip, the Edmonton Oilers have to face a Detroit Red Wings club they havent defeated in regulation since 2009. Edmonton will try to snap a five-game skid against Detroit when the clubs collide at Joe Louis Arena on Friday. The Red Wings have lost two straight and four of their last five games, putting them two points back of the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Oilers are coming off a heartbreaking 6-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Thursday despite the game being tied going into the third period. David Perron and Mark Fraser lit the lamp for the Oilers, who had won three of four going in. Ben Scrivens took the loss, allowing all six goals on 37 shots. "I dont care how good they are," said Oilers coach Dallas Eakins. "We were able to play with them for two periods. We should be able to do it for 20 more minutes. Weve got to be stronger on pucks against stronger forechecking teams like this." Perron has two goals and two assists over a four-game point streak, while Fraser scored his first goal in 111 games. His last tally came on March 2, 2010. Taylor Hall, meanwhile, had an assist to give him six points in his previous five games. The Oilers could go back to Viktor Fasth in net tonight. He made his Oilers debut on Tuesday in a shootout win over the Minnesota Wild. He is 1-1-0 with a 3.61 GAA in two previous games versus the Red Wings. In the last meeting between the teams on Nov. 2, Detroit picked up a 5-0 road win over Edmonton to extend its series winning streak to five straight games. The Red Wings are 12-0-2 in their past 14 versus the Oilers overall. Detroit was bested 4-1 by the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday, getting a goal from Danny DeKeyser. Jimmy Howard was a scratch due to the flu, with Petr Mrazek making 33 saves in his first start since Jan. 12. "Its a disappointing loss, but weve got to regroup and get back at it," Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock said. "Theres no time to feel sorry for ourselves." The Red Wings are dealing with a long list of injured players, one that includes Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk, Daniel Cleary and Darren Helm. Tomas Jurco recently joined that list due to a fractured rib suffered on Tuesday. Detroit has already lost 294 man games this season and prospect Teemu Pulkkinen could make his NHL debut tonight in place of Jurco. The 22-year-old has 26 points and 51 points in 60 games in the American Hockey League this season. He will be the ninth player to make his NHL debut for the Red Wings in the past 14 months. The good news is that Howard has recovered to start tonight and is 9-1-2 with a 1.96 goals against average in his career versus the Oilers. Cheap Air Jordan 3 Websites .

He also walked once and got on another time when he was hit by a pitch. He reached base safely five times in all. Four times he scored. And a career-high seven RBIs in all for Victorino in Bostons 13-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night. "I dont think he could do much better," said Red Sox manager John Farrell, whose top three batters had three hits apiece. "Thats why theyre at the top of the order, to have that kind of on-base (percentage) ahead of our power hitters." But that wasnt good enough for Victorino, the No. 2 hitter, who drove in most of Bostons runs on his own. It was the second two-homer game of his career, and his most RBIs in a game ever -- topping his previous high of five. "Hes been playing great all year," second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. "And the plays he made in the outfield -- I dont remember anything like it." Felix Doubront pitched 6 2-3 innings of four-hit ball, and Mike Napoli also homered for AL East-leading Boston. Pedroia and leadoff hitter Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits apiece for the Red Sox, who improved to 2 1/2 games ahead of Tampa Bay in the division when the Rays lost to the Los Angeles Angels 6-5 later Tuesday night. "Every game is big from here on out," Pedroia said. "We played great tonight, but it doesnt carry over for tomorrow." J.J. Hardy and Danny Valencia each had two of Baltimores four hits. Wei-Yin Chen (7-7) lasted just 3 2-3 innings, allowing eight runs on eight hits and three walks. He struck out five and hit a batter and allowed three homers to lose for the fourth time in five starts. Chen, who has allowed six homers in his last three starts after allowing six for the rest of the season, called it the worst game of his career. "Its hard to believe we were ahead in this game 2-1," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Youve got a team playing well over there. Thats why they are where they are. If you make some mistakes, especially in this park, youre going to pay for it." Doubront (10-6) had only one bad inning, allowing the first four batters in Baltimores two-run third to reach. But he retired 14 of the next 16 before leavving to a standing ovation from the Fenway Park crowd of 36,226.dddddddddddd In all, Doubront gave up two runs on four hits, a walk and a hit batsman. He struck out seven and has allowed three or fewer runs in 21 of 24 starts. "We had one opportunity against him and cashed in two, but there was potential for more," Showalter said. "He pitched well and we did not pitch well." Victorino started the scoring in the first when he walked, took third on Pedroias double and scored on David Ortizs sacrifice fly. After Doubront allowed his only runs in the third to give the Orioles a 2-1 lead, Boston came back in the bottom half with two of their own when Will Middlebrooks singled and scored on Victorinos two-run shot -- the 100th homer of his career. Napoli led off the fourth with a homer to spark a five-run inning and chase Chen. Boston added three more in the fifth on Victorinos second homer. The Red Sox started a nine game homestand after playing 16 of the previous 19 on the road. They were 4-2 on their most recent trip, to California to play the Giants and Dodgers. In all, the Red Sox will play 18 of their final 30 games at home. NOTES: Red Sox infield prospect Xander Bogaerts made his Fenway debut as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning. ...
