(Sports Network) - The Edmonton Oilers will try to improve on their road record Saturday when they play a matinee game in Dallas against the Stars. Nike Air Max 90 Sverige Online . Edmonton has just six victories in 22 road starts this season (6-15-1) and will again be playing without star rookie Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Nugent-Hopkins missed his second straight game on Thursday due to a shoulder injury and is out indefinitely. Without their young forward, the Oilers blew a two-goal lead on Thursday and suffered a 4-3 loss against the hosting Blues. Taylor Hall, Ben Eager and Jordan Eberle scored second-period tallies, but St. Louis scored three times in the third, including twice on the power play. "The bottom line is you dont want to get penalties in the third period," Oilers head coach Tom Renney said. "The big thing is discipline, first and foremost." Devan Dubnyk was touched for all four goals on 37 shots for Edmonton, which has lost five of six on a seven-game road trip and is just 4-13-1 overall since Nov. 26. The Stars had dropped three of four prior to Thursdays road contest in Nashville. Mike Ribeiro scored a pair of goals in the first period before taking a puck off the face in the third period from a shot by teammate Trevor Daley. Despite the injury, he returned to action later in the frame wearing a full cage. "He was definitely one of our players that stood out and got us going there with two big goals," forward Jamie Benn said of Ribeiro. "We need that from him. Hes one of our best players and it was good to see." Benn recorded his third straight multi-point game with a goal and an assist and Kari Lehtonen made 24 saves for the Stars, who havent won consecutive contests since a three-game run from Dec. 10-15. However, Dallas is still only three points behind San Jose for first place in the Pacific Division. The Stars have won six of their past seven versus the Oilers, including a 4-1 home win on Nov. 21 in the first of four meetings this season. That triumph was Dallas fourth in a row at home versus Edmonton and gave it a 9-0-1 mark in the past 10 games played between these clubs in Dallas. Lehtonen made 17 saves and four different players scored for the Stars, who havent lost at home in regulation to the Oilers since Dec. 8, 2006.
