The Colorado Avalanche are looking to take advantage of a home-heavy stretch and figure to have the right club visiting them next. Joe Garagiola Angels Jersey . The Edmonton Oilers will try to avoid a team-worst 12-game road slide in the first meeting between the Western Conferences two last-place teams Friday night. Colorado (14-15-8) beat Philadelphia 4-3 at home in overtime Wednesday on Ryan OReillys winner. OReilly has four points in his last four games to bring his season total to 21. Scoring a goal and contributing to a win is something Ive been missing a lot lately, so definitely to have that is a relief and something Ive got to continue to bring, OReilly said. The Avalanche, last in the Central Division, began a stretch of five home games out of six. We have five of our next six games at home and I thought it was important to start with a win, coach Patrick Roy said. Hopefully that will bring some confidence to our team. Confidence is in short supply for Edmonton (8-22-8), owner of the worst record in the league. The Oilers are 2-14-7 in their last 23. I think this team is pretty fragile right now, said winger Matt Fraser, claimed off waivers from Boston on Monday. I heard it a long time ago that losing can be contagious, and part of that, being a new guy in here coming from an organization like Boston, is youve got to bring that element of your game when youre not content with losing. Edmonton is 0-6-5 on its road slide after Wednesdays 4-3 overtime loss to Calgary. That matches the team record of 11 straight defeats set Dec. 23, 2009-Feb. 20, 2010, with all of those coming in regulation. Fraser scored on the power play as the Oilers were 1 for 3 after going 0 for 26 in their previous 12 road games. Edmonton has an NHL-worst 6.5 percent mark on the power play away from home. The Oilers are giving up 3.39 non-shootout goals per game for the leagues worst average, while the Avalanche allow an average of 34.0 shots on goal at home to rank last in the West. Edmonton has blown two-goal leads in its last two games, recovering to win 3-2 in a shootout over Los Angeles on Tuesday. Right now I love our starts, said winger Jordan Eberle, who ended a nine-game goal drought Wednesday. I love the way were competing for 40 minutes. It seems like the last two games, weve almost let them come at us and weather the storm and thats not how you win hockey games in this league. Edmontons Ben Scrivens is 0-4-4 with a 3.95 goals-against average in eight road starts while backup Viktor Fasth has an NHL-worst 3.50 overall GAA. Colorados Semyon Varlamovs eight regulation defeats against the Oilers match his most against any opponent. He is 1-4-0 with a 4.69 GAA in his last five starts versus them. The Avs took two of three from Edmonton last season. Game Notes: COL was 2-1-0 vs EDM last season COL has gone 4-2-0 past 6 at home vs EDM Colorado: 1-2-0 past 3 games, 11GA (won last), 6/10 on PK MacKinnon (0PTS) last 2 games Edmonton: 1-0-1 past 2 games, 5GF, 1/6 on PP Hall (2A) past 2 games Griffin Canning Jersey . The agreement comes a little more than one week after the video game manufacturer agreed to a $40 million settlement in a similar but separate case, bringing the total payout planned for athletes to $60 million, said Steve Berman, an attorney for the plaintiffs, and the NCAA. Gene Autry Jersey . -- A lawyer for the fiancee of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez asked a judge Friday to throw out perjury charges, saying Shayanna Jenkins did not wilfully lie as she was bombarded with 1,630 questions over two days before a grand jury. https://www.cheapangels.com/513j-taylor-ward-jersey-angels.html . The third-seeded Bouchard, from Westmount, Que., was coming off a semifinal appearance at the French Open. She took the opening set before the unseeded American came back for the 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory.The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport is investigating whether steroid dealers in Edmonton may have sold banned performance-enhancing drugs to professional or amateur athletes across the country. Two weeks ago, police in Alberta seized nearly $10 million worth of steroids in a string of raids at five locations in Edmonton. Four people were arrested in what authorities say is the biggest illegal steroid seizure ever by Canadian police, who took into custody 350,000 tablets, 10,500 vials and 124 kilograms worth of raw steroid powder. TSN has learned that days after the bust, CCES officials contacted Edmonton police to ask whether they have obtained a customer list. Edmonton police inspector Darcy Strang told TSN that his officers have obtained ledger documents and one laptop computer, which will be searched alongside other evidence in coming months. Strang said police worked on the investigation since May and used three search warrants to gather evidence, including a pill press, glassware and beakers worth more than $100,000. The drugs were imported from China, Strang said. He declined to say how they were smuggled into Canada. Its unclear whether the Canada Border Services Agency is investigating. Strang said hes not sure when police will scrutinize the paper trail and laptop. Our priority is to get the drugs processed, he said in an interview. As for a potential customer list, Strang said, we havent gotten to that yet. We will look at whatever we have. If we have professional athletes on the list, I dont really know, actually, what would happen with that. Police allege that the steroids were being sold in person and over the Internet to customers in cities as far away as St. Johns, Newfoundland. Strang said its unlikely that the alleged dealers were selling directly to customers at colleges and universities. If any post-secondary school students were buyers, they may have had the drugs shipped to someone at least one step removed from campus, Strang said. There may be a layer of secrecy there, he said. Policee have not presented evidence that any college or university athletes bought illegal steroids from the Edmonton criminal ring and in Canada, it is not illegal to possess steroids, but it is illegal to import them or possess them for the purpose of trafficking. Brian Downing Jersey. The Edmonton bust comes months after three top Canadian college football prospects tested positive for banned performance-enhancing drugs at a CFL-sanctioned training camp. In August, the University of Manitoba confirmed that former defensive player Ranji Atwall was among those who tested positive. The names of the other players have not yet been disclosed. Similar worries prompted the University of Saskatchewan to test its entire football team, a test that caught another drug cheat, lineman Jordan Arkko, who tested positive for human growth hormone, another banned substance that is tougher to detect than traditional steroids. Critics have called college football in Canada a Wild West where players game the system without fear of being caught. Thats because there are 11,000 athletes competing in Canadian university sports, but only enough money to administer 200 drug tests per year. In 2010, the University of Waterloo suspended its football program after a wave of players were discovered using steroids. There was a brief period when drug testing across Canada increased, but it has since reversed course. CCES chief executive Paul Melia declined to comment on whether his staff are investigating the Edmonton bust. He said all such investigations are confidential. But Melia did say his agency has hired two full-time staff within the past months who are tasked with building relationships with police and other law enforcement officials. Prior to the Edmonton arrests, the largest steroid seizure in Canada was in 2008 when Quebec police seized 400,000 tablets from a home north of Montreal, stumbling on the drugs while investigating a domestic disturbance call. Police at the time said they believed those drugs were destined for amateur weightlifters. ' ' '
