(SportsNetwork. Brandon Saad Jersey .com) - The Chicago Blackhawks aim for their third three-game winning streak of the season when they host the struggling Edmonton Oilers in Sundays battle at the United Center. Chicago has won its last two games, giving the defending Stanley Cup champions a 5-0-1 record over their last six trips to the ice. The Blackhawks have outscored the opposition by a combined 9-3 score over the last two outings, beating visiting Winnipeg by a 4-1 score on Wednesday before posting a 5-2 victory Saturday night in Dallas. Marian Hossa lit the lamp twice and Patrick Sharp tallied four assists in Chicagos pasting of the Stars at American Airlines Center. Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane each collected a goal and assist, while Nicklas Hjalmarsson added an empty-net goal. "We have a team that we feel can score with any line and our defense is great at moving the puck and jumping the play. We just try to build off each other and create offense," said Sharp. Chicago netminder Corey Crawford stopped 31-of-33 shots fired his way. Former Edmonton goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin could get the call on Sunday for the Blackhawks to save Crawford from having to start on back-to-back days. Khabibulin, who spent the last four years with Edmonton before signing with Chicago last summer, has only played in three games this season. The 40-year- old is 1-0-1 with a lofty 4.73 goals against average and .818 save percentage this season. Chicago is kicking off a brief two-game homestand on Sunday and is 6-1-3 as the host this season. The Blackhawks also welcomes Phoenix to the Windy City on Thursday. The Oilers enter Sunday having lost two straight and seven of their last eight games. Edmonton played Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia and dropped a 4-2 decision to the Flyers, who received the game-winner on Claude Girouxs first goal of the season. Edmonton, which is last in the Western Conference with just 10 points this season, got goals from David Perron and Taylor Hall in Saturdays loss. Devan Dubnyk allowed four goals on 34 shots for Edmonton. "I thought we started well the first 10 minutes of the game and then we took a penalty, and it kind of unraveled from there," Hall said. "They had some really good time in our end, had some really good chances. (Dubnyk) made a lot of big stops tonight, where in the past couple games we havent been giving up those kinds of shots. Its something we have to clean up." Its unclear if Dubnyk will get the start on back-to-back days or if Jason LaBarbera gets the call instead. The Oilers did announce the signing of veteran goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov to a one-year deal on Friday, but the outspoken netminder expects to spend time with the Edmontons AHL affiliate in Oklahoma City for conditioning before joining the NHL club. Edmonton has four wins in the last six overall meetings against the Blackhawks and is 4-1-1 in its past six trips to the Windy City. Chicago did take two of three from the Oilers during last years lockout-shortened season. Brandon Saad Blue Jackets Jersey . -- Terrelle Pryor will start at quarterback for the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, replacing Matt McGloin for the final regular-season game against the Denver Broncos. Nick Foligno Jersey . -- No. 3 Ohio State relied on a rare commodity to derail Purdues young shooters Tuesday.Who are the greatest players in the 41-year history of the IIHF World Junior Championship? With the 2014 tournament ready to begin, TSN and TSN.ca have named the All-Time, All-World WJC team - 13 forwards, seven defencemen and two goaltenders who played in the Under-20 event with distinction. Making up the No. 1 line is the Canadian trio of Jeff Carter, Eric Lindros and Jordan Eberle. Carter led Canada in goals at the 2005 tournament and is tied for third-most career goals by a Canadian (12) Hes one of four forwards in tournament history to make back-to-back all-star teams (Vladimir Krutov, Vladimir Ruzicka and Michal Pivonka are the others) and one of only two Canadians with double-digit career games to average a goal per game. The other one to do so is Eberle. Hes one of six Canadians to be named tournament MVP since the honour was introduced in 2005 and averaged 2.2 points per game - the highest such mark for players with more than 10 games played. Lindros, a man amongst boys in junior, was a dominant force in the tournament from 1990 to 1992. Hes the only player to lead Canada in points in two tournaments and earned points in 11 of 14 games played in 1991 and 1992. The second scoring unit is the Russian combo of Alexander Ovechkin, Alexander Mogilny and Pavel Bure. Ovechkin played in three World Junior tournaments from 2003 to 2005, scoring 14 goals and 25 points in 18 games. Mogilny represented the Soviet Union in 1988 and 1989, winning the Best Forward award in 1988 after leading the tournament in scoring. Joining Mogilny on those impressive runs was Bure, who – with centre Sergei Fedorov – helped power the Soviets to gold in Anchorage in 1989. The third line is made up of standouts Peter Forsberg and Markus Naslund, centred by Wayne Gretzky. The Great One played just one year at the World Juniors – and what a year it was. The skinny kid from Brantford, Ontario led the tournament in goals, assists and points in 1978, all at the age of 16. He averaged and all-time single tournament high of 2.8 points per game and is tied for the second-most points in single tournament for Canada. Forsberg and Naslund provided an impressive 1-2 punch for a powerful Swedish side that scored an astounding 53 goals in 1993. Forsberg set records with 24 assists and an unbelievable 31 points, whhile Naslund had 24 and also set a tournament record with 13 goals. RJ Umberger Jersey. Rounding out the forward ranks are Canadas Kris Draper, Mike Richards and Martin Lapointe – tough grinders who helped lead Canada to a combined five gold medals – along with 13th forward Jonathan Toews who was part of gold medal-winning teams in 2006 and 2007. The first pairing on defence is Canadas Dion Phaneuf and Marc Staal. Phaneuf, who made highlight reels with his thunderous hits and aggressive pplay (ask Rostislav Olesz), is the only two-time all-star defenceman to represent Canada and one of only four in history of tournament. Staal was the ultimate shutdown player on the blue line, helping guide Canada to back-to-back gold in 2006 and 2007. While Mikhail Tatarinov didnt have a long and distinguished NHL career, he was a dominant force at the World Juniors and shares the second pairing on TSNs team with fellow countryman Ilya Byakin. Tatarinov won a gold medal with the USSR in 1984 and 1986 and a bronze in 1985. In 1985 and 1986, he was placed on the tournament all-star team and he was named the top defenceman in 1986. Byakin was named the tournaments top defenceman in 1983, helping lead the USSR to a perfect 7-0 record en route to gold. Filling out the blue line are Canadas Gord Kluzak, Brent Tully and Ryan Ellis. Manny Legace had a standout performance in the 1993 World Juniors – his only campaign in red and white. Hes tied for most wins at one tournament (six) for Canada and put in a memorable outing by stopping 58 of 60 shots against Finland in a 3-2 Canada win. Legaces single season performance is rivaled only by Russias Evgeny Belosheiken – the second goaltender chosen for TSNs All-Time All-World Team. He was named the outstanding goaltender of the 1986 World Junior Championship in Hamilton as the USSR went undefeated, winning seven games and surrendering only 14 goals.    TSN All-Time All-World WJC Team Forwards Jeff Carter - Eric Lindros - Jordan EberleAlex Ovechkin - Alexander Mogilny - Pavel BurePeter Forsberg - Wayne Gretzky - Markus Naslund Kris Draper - Mike Richards - Martin LapointeJonathan Toews Defence Dion Phaneuf - Marc StaalMikhail Tatarinov - Ilya ByakinGord Kluzak - Brent TullyRyan Ellis Goaltenders Manny LegaceEvgeny Belosheikinwholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap soccer jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap nfl jerseys china ' ' '
