The Edmonton Oilers are hoping a new year brings renewed Jack Eichel Jerseylife in the playoff hunt. Saturday was a good start. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored in the third round of the shootout, Jordan Eberle had two goals in regulation and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Arizona Coyotes 4-3 on Saturday to end a four-game losing streak. Taylor Hall also http://www.officialsabresteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Jack_Eichel_Jersey scored to help the Oilers win for the eighth time in their last 10 home games. ''After Christmas, we didn't take advantage of the games against teams in our division,'' Nugent-Hopkins said. ''It was great to see us stick with it after getting down by a goal in the third. We really wanted to come back and get that one and played with some desperation tonight.'' Cam Talbot made 31 saves and stopped two of three attempts in the shootout for Edmonton. He said the Oilers hope http://www.officialsabresteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Jack_Eichel_Jersey the win can bring some momentum for a 2016 playoff push. ''We talked about that after our last game, to let the end of December go and to focus on a new day, a new year here,'' he said. ''I think we got off to a good start tonight.'' Steve Downie, Brad Connor McDavid JerseyRichardson and Anthony Duclair scored for the Coyotes, but Arizona has lost two of its past three. Duclair's goal put Arizona up 3-2 5:51 into the third period off a beautiful cross-ice saucer pass from Max Domi during a 2-on-1. Duclair smacked the puck just as it fell down to ice level and shot it past Talbot. Eberle tied it with his second goal with 5:52 left. It was his http://www.officialoilersteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Connor_Mcdavid_Jersey300th NHL point. ''It was a tight game, tight game,'' Arizona coach Dave Tippett said. ''We missed an assignment in our own end and gave them a chance to tie it up, and then it was a tight game. Some chances here and there. Thirteen seconds left we had a real good chance. But you get to the shootout, anything can happen.'' The Oilers had the best chances in overtime, including a post hit by Nugent-Hopkins. Arizona got on the board 7 minutes into the opening period when Jordan Martinook sent a pass through a defender's legs from behind the net to Downie, who beat Talbot five-hole.
