NEW YORK -- Not much has gone right for the Edmonton Oilers and Nail Yakupov in a season where much was expected. Lyle Alzado Jersey . The first pick in the 2012 draft showed a glimpse Thursday night of why there was optimism in Edmonton before the season. Yakupov scored with 1:38 left in regulation to give the Oilers to a 2-1 win over the New York Rangers. Ryan Smyth also scored for Edmonton, which is 5-5 in its last 10. Ben Scrivens made 35 saves. "Finally we get rewarded," Oilers coach Dallas Eakins said. New Yorks season-high four-game winning streak came to an end. Derick Brassard scored and Cam Talbot made 29 saves. "I dont think it was consistent enough," Rangers right wing Ryan Callahan said of his teams play. "We need to have more of a consistent 60 minutes to get the win. "I dont think we were getting pucks deep quite enough. Theyre a good transition team with a lot of speed. We were a little sloppy through the neutral zone and when you do that against a team like that it will cost you." New Yorks sloppiness came at a most opportune time for the Oilers. Yakupov one-timed a feed from Sam Gagner past Talbot for the game-winning goal. "It was a good play by our guys down low to protect the puck," Yakupov said. "A great change by (Jordan Eberle). All I had to do was find space in the middle because I saw the two guys behind. I just had to find a spot. I think that was our top game this season. We need to do it to have a good time before the break." Yakupovs goal, his 11th of the season, broke a tie that carried over from the second period. After Smyth opened the scoring 2:56 into the game by shoving a rebound of David Perrrons shot past Talbot, Brassard drew the Rangers even at 1-1 with a slap shot that beat Scrivens 22 seconds into the second period. Brassards goal was his 11th of the season, and it was created by Benoit Pouliot intercepting Eberles pass in the Edmonton defensive zone. Pouliot whipped a pass from alongside the left wing boards to Mats Zuccarello, who found Brassard in the right faceoff circle. "All three of us try to work hard (and) play a simple game," Zuccarello said. "It doesnt matter when you lose. Its really disappointing because I thought we had a lot of chances to close out the game." But the Rangers, who finished with more shots on goal (36-31) and more shot attempts (65-51), could not find a way to solve Scrivens. "He was good," Rangers defenceman Marc Staal said. "We didnt have a lot of secondary chances, missed some good shots. I think you (have) to get in front of a guy like that. Hes playing well and I dont think we had enough traffic, causing rebounds and scrambles." Edmonton appeared to take a 2-1 lead on a power play midway through the second, but what would have been a goal by Gagner was waived off by the officiating crew of Dan OHalloran and Chris Lee. Their ruling was upheld by replay review. "(A shot) hit me right in the collarbone and ended up under my jersey," Talbot said. "It just fell down my back and the whistle had already blown." NOTES: Thursday nights game was the 6,000th regular season game in New York Rangers franchise history. ...Before the game, the Oilers announced they would play the Chicago Blackhawks in a preseason game in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, on Sept. 28, 2014. The preseason game will be the third the Oilers will have played in Saskatoon. "Its always nice to get to Saskatoon and see the tremendous support the Oilers have throughout Saskatchewan," Oilers General Manager Craig MacTavish said in a statement. Khalil Mack Jersey . He has spent much of his adult life trying to give back to his native South Sudan, the war-torn African nation the Cavaliers forward and his family fled when he was a young boy. Womens Karl Joseph Jersey . They presumably didnt want to make a mess of the court where he was essentially a coach between the lines for the Mavericks when they won the franchises only title in 2011. http://www.theraidersteamproshop.com/Youth-Khalil-Mack-Elite-Jersey/ . CSNPhilly.com reports that the 26-year-old wide receiver will sign a four-year deal with the team on Thursday.KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Hall of Famers Reggie Jackson and Jim Rice didnt do it. Neither did Mark McGwire, Albert Pujols, Jim Thome, Barry Bonds nor any other opposing slugger who played at Kansas City. Carlos Santana hit five home runs in a series at spacious Kauffman Stadium, connecting for two more shots Sunday and leading the Cleveland Indians over the Royals 10-3. Santana tied a team record for homers in a series, finishing off this four-game set with a pair of two-run shots. He has homered in three straight games, and has hit six home runs in six games. "I know Im hot, but Im taking the same approach," Santana said. "This can happen in this game when a player gets focused. Its a help to the team." Santana and the Indians ended a four-game losing skid and stopped the Royals five-game winning streak. Santana went 3 for 3 and reached base in all five plate appearances, including drawing his major league-leading 72nd walk. The switch-hitter homered in a four-run fifth inning and hit another drive in the ninth for his fifth career multihomer game and his second of the series. "It was pretty impressive to watch," teammate Mike Aviles said. "Everybody knows how big he can be. He was able to drive some balls out of the park consistently from both sides." "Watching him all season, he has an unbelievable eye. I know his average isnt where he wants it to be, but he got off to a slow start. But even through his struggles early in the year, he was able to find ways to get on base. You knew with a guy like him it was only a matter of time before he got back on pace." In his past six games, Santana is 14 for 23, including three doubles and 10 RBIs. "Hes hot as a firecracker," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Hes hitting home runs right-handed. Hes hitting home runs left-handed." Ryan RRaburn and Yan Gomes also homered for the Indians, who had lost six straight at Kauffman Stadium. Amari Cooper Raiders Jersey. Danny Salazar (3-4) gave up three runs and seven hits over seven innings. He walked none and struck out seven. Bruce Chen (2-3) allowed up six runs and eight hits in five-plus innings. Nick Swisher hit an RBI single in the Indians seventh to end an 0-for-21 streak. Billy Butler had three hits for the Royals, including an RBI double. He had homered in his previous two games, but Santana equaled Butlers season home run total in the series. "Santana has got a lot of pop," Butler said. "Hes in one of those zones. A lot of guys get hot, but dont hit four homers in a series. Five, sorry, I missed one. It just shows you how impressive it is. Hes very talented, a very strong guy." Santana is the first player to hit five home runs in a series since Hunter Pence for San Francisco against the Dodgers last September. Santana tied an Indians record for most home runs in a series. The others were Hal Trosky (1934), Joe Carter (1989), Albert Belle (1995), Matt Williams (1997) and Travis Hafner (2004). Hafner did it in two-game series against the Angels. NOTES: After missing five games with back problems, SS Asdrubal Cabrera started for the Indians. 3B Lonnie Chisenhall was held out the second straight game with a stomach virus. ... Royals RHP Wade Davis has not allowed an extra-base hit this season in 44 2-3 innings. ... The Indians will activate RHP Justin Masterson on Friday and start him against Texas. Masterson, a 14-game winner last year, is on the disabled list with right knee inflammation. ... Chen picked Aviles off first to end the third inning. It was Chens 45th career pickoff, which ranks fourth among active pitchers. ... Three of Raburns seven hits against Chen are home runs.
