EDMONTON -- There is little left to do for the Edmonton Oilers besides throw wrenches into other teams plans. Taylor Hall had a goal and two assists as the Oilers upset the Pacific Division-leading Anaheim Ducks 4-2 on Sunday. David Perron, Jordan Eberle and Justin Schultz also scored for the Oilers (28-42-9), who have won two in a row. "Playing the role of spoilers can be a lot of fun," said Hall, who has moved into seventh place in league scoring with 77 points. "To get on a team that really needed those points tonight was good. To play a good solid third period against a team like this and not give up a lot was nice. It was a learning game for us. It wasnt perfect by any means, but for the most part we shut them down." Its the third time the teams have met in the past two weeks. The Oilers beat the Ducks 4-3 in overtime on March 28, while Anaheim edged Edmonton 3-2 on Wednesday. Perron said the Oilers showed a lot to keep the Ducks from battling back on Sunday. "I liked the way that we kept going when it was 3-2," he said. "It was a good game all around. At this point there isnt a whole lot to play for and to get that kind of energy was pretty cool. We want to keep our momentum going into next year and play this kind of hockey right from the start. We had a lot of great emotion tonight." Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins said three second-period fights had an effect on the outcome. "It certainly rattled their team," he said. "They are a composed group in Anaheim and then when the first one erupted, that seemed to set them off the tracks a little bit. I thought they got distracted. I think it worked in our favour. They were so upset they were even yelling at me, which is always great when I didnt even throw a punch." Jakob Silfverberg and Corey Perry responded for the Ducks (50-20-8) who have lost two straight and remained just one point up on the idle San Jose Sharks for first in the Pacific. "Were struggling finding ways to win hockey games right now," said Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf. "I thought we started a lot better than we have in the past and were in a hockey game. We let our emotions get the best of us a little bit there for a while and I thought that was a little bit counter-productive and thats our responsibility, me and (Corey Perry)." Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau said it was far from a perfect outing from starting goalie Jonas Hiller. "Its tough, I thought (Hiller) played well in the first period. Then there were a couple in the second that he could have had," he said. "Then in the third, he regained his form again. Its one of those things where hes really lacking in confidence and once the first one went in, he was a little worried until he regained his composure." The Ducks opened the scoring on the games first shot, 1:20 into the first period. Edmonton goalie Viktor Fasth made the initial stop on Silfverberg, but the rebound caromed off of teammate Sam Gagner and trickled into the net. Edmonton came close to tying the game with five minutes left to play in the opening frame when Perron made a nice pass to a hard-charging Ryan Smyth, but Hiller was quick to come across and make the save. The Oilers knotted the game 1-1 six minutes into the second period with a power play goal as Hall banked in a goal off of Hiller with a shot from the side of the net for his 27th of the season. Perron kept pace with Hall for the teams goal-scoring lead three minutes later while Edmonton was short-handed, beating Hiller with an off-balance shot from the right faceoff circle for his 27th. It was just Edmontons fourth short-handed goal of the season against a league-leading 13 allowed. The Oilers took a 3-1 lead with just over three minutes left in the second period as Eberle swung a puck out front and the rebound remained loose in the crease before a pinching Schultz tapped it in. The Ducks got back to within a goal with on a power play just 25 seconds into the third period as Perry tipped a long Getzlaf wrist shot from the point past Fasth for his 42nd goal of the season. Edmonton withstood a ton of pressure before getting an insurance goal. Eberle also scored his 27th moved into a three-way tie for the team lead with an empty-net goal. Anaheim threw everything they had at the Oilers net in the third period, but Fasth proved up to the task, making 34 saves in total to earn his first victory against his old team. "The guys played great in front of me today," Fasth said. "They cleared a lot of rebounds and blocked a lot of shots. It was a great team effort. Of course it is special to play against them and get the win. I have a lot of friends on that team and played for them for a year." The Ducks get right back at it on Monday in Vancouver against the Canucks. Edmonton continues its season-ending four game homestand on Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche. Notes: It was the fifth and final meeting between the Oilers and Ducks this season. Anaheim had a 3-0-1 record in the series entering the game and had taken 12 of the past 15 encounters in Edmontona The Ducks allowed six first period goals in their three games heading into Edmonton. a With the playoffs looming, the Ducks chose to rest their two oldest players, giving Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu the night off. a Anaheim was without G Frederik Andersen (upper body) and D Cam Fowler (knee). a LW Jesse Joensuu (ankle), LW Ryan Jones (torn PCL), RW Tyler Pitlick (knee), LW Luke Gazdic (shoulder), RW Nail Yakupov (ankle) and D Andrew Ference (chest) missed the game for Edmonton.

Atlantas third error in the last two innings allowed Jackie Bradley Jr.TORONTO -- Toronto FC players practised Wednesday before scattering to make the most of four days off thanks to a bye this weekend. The MLS clubs braintrust also has big plans. Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment boss Tim Leiweke, club GM Tim Bezbatchenko and manager Ryan Nelsen head to Europe later this week in search of marquee players. With the renewal deadline for season ticket-holders pushed back to January, it could be one of the most important hunts for talent in the underachieving franchises seven-year history. Leiweke told a recent supporters breakfast that the itinerary includes "a half-dozen players and teams." The focus is on players with English Premier League and Italian Serie A clubs. "The days of us putting our toe in the water and trying to find a cheap DP (designated player) are over. Were going to go swing for the fences," said the man who brought David Beckham to MLS. "Well see you in January. Because by then we either will have delivered or failed you again," he added. "Im not interested in seeing you in January and failing you again. Its time we started doing things right." Top of the list are two strikers, to be signed as designated players. "Of course we have our targets that we want to sign," Nelsen said after practice Wednesday. "Well be putting our head down and trying to get them." Players out of contract this summer can be signed six months in advance of that, so news could come in the January window. But Nelsen cautioned that wooing a player can take time. "In my experience of being in the situation myself, being on the other side of it, it generally takes a bit of time," he said. "But Id come back to you and say we might have already started that a few months ago." Still the good ones take the most time to romance, he added. Chances are this trip will be only part of the sales pitch. Designated players allow MLS clubs to sign marquee talent without throwing their US$2.95-million salary cap into disarray. Only $368,750 of a DPs salary counts against the cap, less if the player is young ($150,000 for a player 20 and younger and $200,000 for a player aged 21 to 23). TFCs current DPs -- both injured -- are 34-year-old Dutch striker Danny Koevermans, whose actual salary is $1.66 million, and 21-year-old Argentine midfielder Matias Laba ($200,000). Clubs are allowed two designated player slots and can buy a third slot for a one-time fee of $150,000 (the fee is waived if the third roster slot is for a young DP). Past DPs in Toronto were Canadian international midfielder Julian de Guzman, Spanish striker Mista, French forward Eric Hassli and former German international midfielder Torsten Frings. Mista was a bust while De Guzman was a decent player who didnt deserve DP status. Hassli was a panic pickup in the face of growing injuries up front. Frings, a former club captain, was a classy former international whose considerable influence was slowed by injury. He also often had to play out of position because thee Toronto talent cupboard was so bare.dddddddddddd Of the current crop, Koevermans impact has also been blunted by injury. When healthy, the big Dutchman was a scoring threat in MLS. But he has been rarely fit, with a flurry of minor niggles following serious knee surgery. Laba seems a good use of the young DP. But none have combined the kind of success on the pitch and influence off it that Leiweke considers the DP job description to entail. Toronto also chose not to bestow DP status on Canadian attacking midfielder Dwayne De Rosario, who went on to win MVP honours elsewhere. "Weve done a bad job with DPs here. Period," Leiweke said. Said Bezbatchenko: "Clearly when you look at our team, we have not had goal-scorers. Proven world-class goal-scorers." The number-crunching GM estimates an MLS team needs between 46 and 55 goals a year to get into the playoffs. Toronto, which has 29 goals with two games to go this season, has averaged between 30 and 35. While the Toronto franchise has a history of underperforming and poor management, it does have many selling points. MLSE has lots to offer as an owner, with deep pockets and big league properties. Toronto is a safe cosmopolitan city that offers its soccer players relative anonymity compared to the fishbowl that is the European game. And while BMO Field is a hardly a jewel of a stadium, the clubs training facility is top-drawer. Leiweke is a slick closer with a good track record. The newly retired Nelsen has an impressive Rolodex thanks to his years of playing in the Premier League and connections through the New Zealand national team. No doubt he has used it to good effect. Nelsen, who still has a home in London from his days with Tottenham and Queens Park Rangers, is likely to stay a little longer in Europe to take in next Tuesdays friendly between Canada and Australia at Londons Craven Cottage. Canadian coach Benito Floro has called up four Toronto FC players for the game: defenders Ashtone Morgan and Doneil Henry and midfielders Jonathan Osorio and Kyle Bekker. The rest of TFC players are set to return to training Monday, in advance of their penultimate game of the season Oct. 19 at Chicago. The club badly needs to restore its relevance. Attendance has been slipping. Once the poster-boy of the league for its crammed stands and season-ticket waiting list, Toronto is drawing season-low crowds. Toronto (5-16-11) currently stands 10th in the 19-team league with average attendance of 18,439. Alarmingly, the last three home games have drawn announced crowds of 15,879 (D.C. United), 12,627 (Sporting Kansas City) and 15,217 (Chicago). Media coverage has also waned. Wednesdays practice drew one reporter. NOTES -- Captain Steven Caldwell has returned to Scotland due to death in the family ... Midfielders Bobby Convey, Darel Rusell and Alvaro Rey missed practice Wednesday through injury ... Goalkeeper Joe Bendik (two yellows in Philadelphia) and midfielder Jeremy Hall (accumulation of yellows) are suspended for next weeks Chicago game. ' ' '
