(SportsNetwork. Ed Dickson Jersey .com) - The Los Angeles Kings scored a season-high seven goals in their last outing and will try to keep the offense rolling as they host the Edmonton Oilers in Sundays battle at the Staples Center. Richard Bachman will get the start in net for the Oilers as Devan Dubnyk has a minor ankle injury. The Kings won for the third time in four games on Thursday by downing the visiting Phoenix Coyotes by a 7-4 score. Dwight King notched his first career hat trick to lead L.A. past the Coyotes, who had recorded at least a point in seven straight games before getting beat by the Kings. King scored twice in LAs four-goal first period, but the Coyotes countered with four straight goals to even the score early in the third. Phoenix then seemed poised to pull in front when Jake Muzzin was sent off for slashing at 3:31 of the third, but Mike Richards came up with a steal in the neutral zone and sped in on a breakaway before stuffing a backhand past the left pad of Thomas Greiss to give the Kings a 5-4 edge at 4:19. Matt Frattin then added a tip-in tally before King capped his hat trick with an empty- netter to help Los Angeles earn the victory. Anze Kopitar registered a goal and two assists, Jordan Nolan scored once, and Jonathan Quick stopped 24-of-28 shots in the victory. "It was up and down tonight but thats the challenge for us, it always has been," Kopitar said. "We always have good spurts, and tonight the first period was obviously a really good one but we have to maintain that." Sundays contest marks the end of a four-game homestand for the Kings, who are 3-2-0 as the host this season. L.A. will visit Phoenix for a rematch on Tuesday before returning to the City of Angels for another four-game homestand. The Oilers enter this game against the Kings having lost two straight and seven of their last nine tilts. Sundays opponent doesnt appear to offer a reprieve for Edmonton because L.A. has won two straight, four of five and eight of the past 11 meetings against the Oilers. Edmonton also has dropped two in a row and four of five in L.A. The Oilers are coming off Saturdays 5-4 setback in Phoenix. Edmonton held a 1-0 lead early in the game and later rallied from a 3-1 deficit to grab a 4-3 advantage just over seven minutes into the third period. But, Keith Yandle netted the tying goal for the Coyotes at 10:40 of the third and Oliver Ekman- Larsson recorded the winner with 7:37 remaining. Ryan Jones, Will Acton, David Perron and Tyler Pitlick scored for the Oilers, while Jason LaBarbera was charged with five goals on 27 shots in defeat. "It was an interesting game to say the least," noted Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins. "Its getting disheartening to say I like most of our game and come up short." Edmonton fell to 2-5-1 on the road after the loss to the Coyotes and Sundays tilt marks the end of a brief two-game swing for the club. Next up for the Oilers is a two-game homestand, which is set to begin Tuesday night against Toronto. A.J. Klein Jersey .

It comes less than a month after John McEnroe criticized the current state of the doubles game, saying the standard of players is poor and the money would be better spent on struggling singles players. On Sunday, the 41-year-old Rafter said he would come out of more than a decade of retirement to play with Hewitt, although how far they go in the doubles draw might depend on how long Hewitt stays active in singles. The 32-year-old Hewitt plays his first-round singles match against No. 24 Andreas Seppi on Tuesday. Rafter hasnt played since Australias Davis Cup final loss to France in Melbourne in 2001. He and Hewitt, both two-time Grand Slam singles champions, were drawn to play American Eric Butorac and Raven Klaasen of South Africa in the first round of the doubles. Hewitt, when asked if there was a serious side to the doubles pairing, responded: "Not really. Just a bit of fun." "I think he still thinks hes got it in him, so... Hope I dont have to carry him too much," Hewitt added, smiling. "Hes hitting the ball well enough. Beat (Goran) Ivanisevic and (Tim) Henman and those guys over in the seniors tour." Rafter appeared to plaay down any long-range plans for the twosome. Charles Johnson Panthers Jersey. "Listen, nothing is happening just yet," Rafter said. "Were in the draw, but it will all depend on how he goes. Its really important for him to play great singles. Thats what its all about. "But Ill have fun. Im playing with one of the best players in the competition. Figure its like eating chocolate or having broccoli, sort of equal it out." McEnroe, despite having won 71 doubles titles, many of them with regular partner Peter Fleming, in addition to his 77 singles titles, was scathing in his criticism of doubles during a gathering in London during a Masters tournament in December. "If you cut out doubles and gave that money to singles players ranked between 200 and 1,000, maybe that would do something for the game," McEnroe was quoted as saying. "Most doubles players, I hate to say, are the slow guys who were not quick enough to play singles. Why we are even playing doubles at this point is a mystery to me." The winning mens and womens doubles pairs at the Australian Open will each receive almost a half-million dollars. Rafter, who could split $12,000 with Hewitt even if they lose in the first round, was asked whether he had any concerns about passing a doping test in his comeback. "If theres a law, mate, against eating too much chocolate, Im in trouble," Rafter said. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
