EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) - Marc Pouliot and J.F. Jacques had a goal and an assist each, and the Edmonton Oilers ended a 13-game losing streak by beating the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 on Monday night.
Gilbert Brule and Sam Gagner also scored for the Oilers, who went 0-11-2 in their previous 13 games. Edmonton was one loss shy of tying the franchise-worst winless streak of 14 games (0-10-4), set in 1993. The Oilers have just two wins in 22 games and are five points behind of Carolina and Toronto for last place in the NHL.
Andrew Alberts and Jussi Jokinen scored for the Hurricanes (19-29-7), who had won four in a row and five of six before Monday.
