EDMONTON - The Edmonton Oilers are on their second six-game losing streak of the season and is hoping to avoid posting its longest skid since dropping 11 in a row in 2011 as they host the Nashville Predators Sunday night. Chris Doleman Vikings Jersey . The club will try to build off its late effort in Fridays 4-3 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes. Ben Scrivens will get the start in net against the Predators, while Ales Hemsky (ankle injury) and Andrew Ference (head injury) will be out of the line-up. The Oilers allowed the Coyotes to score three times in a 4:02 span of the first period and trailed 4-0 at the three-minute mark of the second frame. Hendricks, though, found the back of the net in the middle period for his first goal with the Oilers, then David Perron and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored six minutes apart in the third period in a spirited comeback attempt. "We found a way to bring some energy and bring some life back to our game, but we got to try to do that for 60 minutes," said Nugent-Hopkins. Ilya Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots in defeat. He is 10-6-3 with a 2.41 GAA in 20 career games versus the Predators. His first start with the Oilers came against the Preds on Nov. 28 and he recorded a 33-save shutout. Ben Scrivens, acquired from Los Angeles the same day Devan Dubnyk was traded to the Predators, has lost both of his previous games against Nashville. Edmonton, which has won three of four and nine of its last 13 at home versus Nashville, is expected to be without defenseman Andrew Ference tonight after he left Fridays loss with a head injury. Winners in four of their previous five games, the Predators got a career-high four goals from Eric Nystrom on Friday versus Calgary, but also saw the Flames score twice in the third period to tie the game before Nashville ultimately dropping a 5-4 decision in a shootout. Defenseman Roman Josi scored as the second shooter in the third round to extend the tiebreaker, but Calgarys Sean Monahan beat Devan Dubnyk between the legs as the next skater and Ryan Ellis had his attempt stopped. Nashville has now split the first two of a four-game road trip despite Nystrom notching the first four-goal game in franchise history. He upped his season goal total to 11 and had never before scored more than two goals in a game. "It was just one of those nights. Its just frustrating that it was on the short end of the stick. Its a game we wish we could have back," said Nystrom, who was selected 10th overall by Calgary in the 2002 draft. "Its nice scoring goals, but not when its on the losing side." Dubnyk stopped 27 shots for the Predators and has allowed nine goals on 60 shots in two starts since being acquired from the Edmonton Oilers on Jan. 15 in exchange for forward Matt Hendricks. Selected 14th overall by the Oilers in the 2004 draft, Dubnyk was 11-17-2 with a 3.36 goals against average in 32 games (29 starts) with Edmonton this season before the trade. It is unknown if he will face his former club tonight or if rookie backup Carter Hutton will get the call instead. Hutton, who has never faced the Oilers, has won four straight starts, including all three since Dubnyk was acquired.

He vows to make sure the players have the best experience possible at the Holiday Bowl.Yet, he still feels the punch in the gut from Pelinis firing and sadness for assistant coaches who dont know what the future holds after new coach Mike Riley takes full control following the Dec. 27 game against Southern California.Little by little, guys are being given notices that this spot will be filled by someone else and that spot will be filled by someone else, Cotton said. Those are the hardest things. Youre talking wives and kids and moving and new schools and all that. That really tugs at you. I wish I could make it all go away, but obviously thats not the reality we live in.Cotton is among five interim coaches who will be in charge of teams this bowl season. The others are Dave Baldwin at Colorado State, David Gibbs at Houston, Joe Rudolph at Pittsburgh and D.J. Durkin at Florida.Cotton already has landed his next job as offensive co-ordinator at UNLV. Baldwin is a candidate to replace Jim McElwain as the Rams head coach. Gibbs hopes to stay on as defensive co-ordinator for Tom Herman. Rudolph might join the staff of former Pitt coach Paul Chryst at Wisconsin. Durkin has been connected to several defensive co-ordinator jobs since finding out this week he wouldnt be retained by McElwain, Floridas new coach.The interim jobs might be more challenging for Baldwin and Rudolph, whose bosses were not fired but instead left for better jobs.Its a process that goes through the mind right now, Baldwin said. Youre 10-2, yet youre not sure if youll be employed at all next year. Theres limbo, but we accept that in this profession. If youre worried about it, you shouldnt have gotten into this profession.The bowl games amount to auditions for soon-to-be unemployed coaches, said Gibbs, wholl be across the field from Rudolph when Houston plays Pitt in the Armed Forces Bowl on Jan. 2.If yourre good at your job, Gibbs said, you realize that if you go out there and coach your butt off and your kids play hard and play good, you have a better chance of getting a job than if your kids go out there and lay down and get beat up on national television. Patrick Willis 49ers Jersey. Baldwin, the Rams offensive co-ordinator, said he didnt hesitate to accept the interim job for the Saturdays game against Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl.Theres a lot of uncertainty that goes on with the players in this process, and we wanted to make sure they understand were here for them and were going to make this happen, Baldwin said. Were a 10-2 football team for a lot of good reasons. Lets make some history and win 11 games.Durkin, who was Will Muschamps defensive co-ordinator, said because of the transitory nature of the business, its not awkward when an interim coach takes over for a departed head coach. He said he appreciated the trust athletic director Jeremy Foley showed in asking him to lead the Gators against East Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl on Jan. 3.Ive been here five years with our guys, Durkin said. I want to make sure they get my very best as a head coach to go win this game and finish things off the right way. Thats where my focus is.For Cotton, his imminent parting with Nebraska will be more difficult than perhaps it will be for other interim coaches who will be somewhere else next year.The 58-year-old Cotton grew up in Omaha, played offensive line for the Cornhuskers and served as a graduate assistant under Tom Osborne. He was Frank Solichs offensive co-ordinator in 2003 and held several jobs on Pelinis staff since 2008. He has had three sons play for Nebraska.I wouldnt have traded my playing experience, certainly wouldnt have traded working for Frank and working for Bo and having Coach Osborne as the (athletic director) here, Cotton said. And having the chance for Bo and Coach Osborne to give my boys the opportunity to come play at Nebraska, where their dad played and where my folks have lived... Ill always be thankful and always be blessed.___AP Sports Writer Mark Long in Gainesville, Florida, contributed to this report.
