(SportsNetwork. Steve Grogan Jersey .com) - The NHL-leading St. Louis Blues will try to bounce back from their first loss of the month when they host the Edmonton Oilers in Thursdays encounter at Scottrade Center. Watch the Blues vs. Oilers live on TSN starting at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. Edmonton, the last-place team in the Western Conference, has done well in its spoiler role lately, winning three of its last four games and posting an 8-3-2 mark over the past 13 outings. The Oilers opened a four-game road trip on Tuesday with a comeback victory over the Minnesota Wild. Edmonton fell behind 3-0 in the first period, but rallied for a 4-3 shootout win at Xcel Energy Center. Edmontons Jeff Petry cut the deficit to 3-1 before the end of the first period. David Perron and Jordan Eberle then tallied over a four-minute span in the third to even things at 3-3. Taylor Hall delivered the winner in the shootout, scoring in the fourth round to complete the rally for Edmonton. After Jason Pominville was stopped by Viktor Fasth, Hall skated in and shot the puck between the pads of Darcy Kuemper for the winner. Fasth stopped 28 shots in the win. "Im proud of them. It would have been easy to pack it in but the guys kept scraping and clawing," said Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins. "They were playing an excellent defensive game but we stuck to it." Despite Tuesdays win, the Oilers are just 11-19-5 as the road team this season. The Blues had won five straight to begin March before dropping Tuesdays home overtime decision against Dallas. St. Louis hopes to get back on track tonight against an Edmonton team it has dominated in recent years. With 95 points, the Blues are two points ahead of Anaheim for the top spot in the NHL standings and also hold a four-point edge over Colorado for first place in the Central Division. The Blues are 2-0 against Edmonton in 2013-14 and they can complete a sweep of the season series on Thursday. St. Louis has won seven of eight and 13 of the last 16 meetings in this matchup, but the Oilers did halt a six-game road skid in the series when it posted a 3-0 win at Scottrade Center on March 26 of last season. The Blues had a three-game home winning streak snapped, but are still 23-5-4 in the Gateway City this season. Alan Branch Jersey . The Raptors second-year forward has been one of the primary beneficiaries of the early-season trade, breaking out and becoming a vital part of his teams success on both ends of the floor. Around the league, teams are starting to take notice and feature Ross more predominately in their pre-game scouting reports but its not just the opposition that hes impressing. Malcolm Mitchell Jersey . Mitchell first announced on Twitter that he has signed with the Steelers and his agent Brian Hamilton confirmed the signing to The Associated Press. Financial terms were not released. The Steelers have not announced the addition of Mitchell.SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Another challenge. Another challenge met. C.J. Fair rebounded from his worst game of the season with 19 points, Jerami Grant added 12 in an expanded role down low, and No. 1 Syracuse beat Clemson 57-44 on Sunday night to remain unbeaten. No matter what or who theyve faced this season, the Orange have found a way to win. Fair, who was 2 for 13 for a season-low six points against Notre Dame on Monday, responded with an 8-for-13 shooting night in playing K.J. McDaniels of Clemson to a virtual standstill. McDaniels also scored 19 and had a game-high 10 rebounds, three more than Fair, and both played 39 minutes. "Its all about going to the next game. You dont want to dwell on a good or bad game. We had good rhythm coming into this game," Fair said. "I just needed to be aggressive and not really force things. Coach is always stressing that. Thats what I was trying to do, play off my teammates. "Without wearing myself out, I wanted to wear him (McDaniels) out," Fair said. "When the best player on the opposite team is guarding you, you want to make their job hard. I just wanted to keep him busy." Syracuse (23-0, 10-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) extended its school record for wins to start a season and matched the program mark for consecutive wins, established in the 1916-17 and 1917-18 seasons. It was the third meeting between the teams and first in Syracuse, and the Oranges first victory. "They have very good pieces that fit together," Clemson coach Brad Brownell said. "Everybody has a role. They embrace their role. Theyre very unselfish. There doesnt look to be any jealousy." Syracuse has faced a slow pace for most of the season and when the Orange went ahead 48-37 on Tyler Ennis lefty layup with 6:56 to play, coach Jim Boeheim could breathe a sigh of relief. "You really dont want to be behind in a slow game," Boeheim said. "There arent going to be a lot of points scored." This victory came with the 6-foot-8 Grant playing substantial time in the second half at centre with starter Rakeem Christmas on the bench with four fouls and Baye Moussa Keita next to him with a sprained right knee. A month ago, before hulking sophomore centre Dajuan Coleman was lost for the season to a knee injury, Syracuse had 15 fouls to give at the position. "Its fine. Whatever my team needs,&quoot; Grant said. Vincent Valentine Jersey. "I think thats what makes us a great team. I need to get used to it. Ive just got to know where all the rebounds are, know where other people are." It was the 10th time Clemson (15-7, 6-4) had faced the No. 1 team in the nation, and the Tigers have yet to win. The last time Clemson played a No. 1 team was against North Carolina, an 86-81 loss in the 2008 ACC tournament, and the Tigers last true road game against the nations No. 1 team was Feb. 8, 2004, an 81-55 loss at Duke. "It was frustrating," Jaron Blossomgame said. "There were some good things, but from a team standpoint, were all competitors. We want to win. We feel like every game we go into we can win." Trevor Cooney finished with 11 points for the Orange and Ennis, from Brampton, Ont., had six points, five assists and one turnover. Syracuse shot 44.4 per cent (24 of 54) and held the best defensive team in the nation to 14-of-41 shooting (34.1 per cent). The Orange also committed just five turnovers and dominated the paint, 32-14. Syracuse led by nine at the break and extended the lead to 39-27 on Fairs nice scoop off the glass with 15:40 left. The Tigers answered with a 10-3 spurt to get right back in it as Christmas went to the bench with his fourth foul. Jordan Roper started the surge with a 3 from the right wing, McDaniels followed with a free throw and a dunk, and Josh Smiths hook in the lane pulled Clemson to 42-37 with 10:41 to play. Fair responded with a pair of free throws and a pretty runner crossing the lane to boost the lead back to nine with 8:27 left. After Damarcus Harrisons 3-pointer, Grant came back with a baseline drive off the glass at 4:45 to boost the lead to double digits. Cooneys 3 from the top of the key extended it to 15 with 2:03 left. Clemson entered the game leading Division I in scoring defence, yielding an average of 55 points per game. The Tigers also ranked eighth in field goal percentage defence (.378) and 12th in blocked shot average (6.1). Syracuse shot 50 per cent (13 of 26) in the first half and held the Tigers to 6-of-22 shooting (27.3 per cent) while blocking three shots to two for the Tigers in gaining a 31-22 lead at the break. Keita sprained his right leg with just more than 6 minutes left in the opening half and went to the locker room to be evaluated. He did not play in the second half.
