Edmonton has won in each of its last five trips to BB&T Center, but the last four wins of that stretch have come after regulation. Floridas last home win over the Oilers came in a 5-4 regulation decision on March 8, 2002. The Oilers, however, are just 2-12-7 on the road this season, and have lost 14 straight as the guest after dropping the first two games of a four-game trek that ends Tuesday in Washington. Edmonton dropped its third straight game overall in Thursdays 3-2 loss against Tampa Bay. The Oilers actually outshot the Atlantic Division-leading Lightning 32-19 in the game, but Ben Bishop made 30 saves to help Tampa pick up the close regulation win. The Oilers held leads of 1-0 and 2-1 against Tampa, but the Lightning rallied for the win thanks to a pair of third-period goals from Ondrej Palat. Edmonton received a pair of goals from Benoit Pouliot, but could not tie the game late. Pouliot has six tallies during a four-game goal streak Ben Scrivens made 16 saves on 19 shots in the loss. We had some great scoring opportunities, especially in the second, said Oilers coach Todd Nelson. We hit a couple posts and just didnt bury those chances. In the third, I think Tampa Bay cranked it up a notch. The Oilers havent won on the road since beating the New York Rangers on Nov. 9. The 0-8-6 away skid is the longest road losing streak in franchise history. ' ' '
