 EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) - Ryan Smyth and the Edmonton Oilers each reached a satisfying milestone. Smyth scored his 20th goal of the season and Edmonton snapped a four-game losing streak with the 1,000th victory in franchise history, a 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night.
Fernando Pisani, Raffi Torres and Ales Hemsky also scored for the Oilers, who were the third-fastest team to reach the milestone. Edmonton did it in its 2,114th game, behind only Philadelphia (2,018) and Montreal (2,064).
"It's quite the accomplishment," said Oilers coach Craig MacTavish, who was holding the game puck. "I wish I had them all."
