 EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) - Facing their longest road trip of the season, the Edmonton Oilers took advantage of the last dose of home hospitality they'll see in awhile. Petr Sykora set up three goals as the Oilers won 5-1 over the Atlanta Thrashers on Sunday night.
Ryan Smyth, Marc-Andre Bergeron, Marc Pouliot, Joffrey Lupul and Raffi Torres scored for Edmonton, while Eric Belanger had the lone response for Atlanta.
