Ethan Moreau had a hat trick and Ales Hemsky two goals as the Edmonton Oilers captured their second win in a row, knocking off the visiting Phoenix Coyotes 6-3 on Sunday night.
Dustin Penner also scored for the Oilers (23-19-3) who have now won four of their last five games and have leapt past Minnesota for eighth place in the Western Conference standings.
Keith Yandle, Daniel Carcillo and Peter Mueller replied for Phoenix (23-19-5) which saw a two-game winning streak come to an end. The Coyotes have now lost six of their last eight on the road. Phoenix started the scoring five minutes in as Kyle Turris rattled a shot off the post and the rebound came out to Yandle who banged it past Oilers starter Dwayne Roloson for an early 1-0 lead.
Edmonton bounced back three minutes later as Moreau sent a rebound home after Phoenix goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov made an initial toe-save on a shot by Tom Gilbert.
The Oilers went ahead 2-1 when Hemsky made an impact in his first game back since missing the last 10 with a concussion, splitting the defence and freezing Bryzgalov with a deke for his 11th the season. (The Canadian Press, blb, ccg)
