Teams that aren't postseason bound like the Edmonton Oilers and the Arizona Coyotes talk about competing hard down the stretch. But only one of them seems to be following through on those words.
The Oilers will try to avoid their fourth straight loss when they take on the resurgent Coyotes on Monday night at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta.
Edmonton's latest losing streak grew with a 3-2 loss to rookie goaltender Alexandar Georgiev and the New York Rangers on Saturday night.
"It was obviously was a setback for us," Oilers defenseman Oscar Klefbom said Sunday.
