EDMONTON, Alberta -- The Edmonton Oilers are playing nail-biters. The Columbus Blue Jackets are making a habit of winning big. Something has to give when the teams meet Tuesday night at Rogers Place.The Oilers previous six games have each been decided by a goal. Four of them have ended in either overtime or a shootout.The Blue Jackets arrive in Albertas capital on a six-game winning streak, outscoring their opponents by a combined 25-9 during that stretch.Former Oiler Sam Gagner has 18 points in the Blue Jackets last 20 games.Columbus has a winning percentage of .731 under coach John Tortorella. The Blue Jackets beat the New York Islanders in Columbus on Saturday, but unlike most teams heading west, the team elected to stay in Ohio and practiced there on Monday before traveling northwest to Alberta.Usually, if the schedule allows, a team will skate in Edmonton the day before the game. Tortorella also has done away with the morning skate, and the Blue Jackets are proving that practice just might not make perfect.But Tortorella said his team has a far different attitude than last season.Weve talked about this last year; its hoping versus almost a mindset of knowing, he said. I think when you have some success, and weve had some success early in the season here, you do get that belief.The question is going to be when theres a couple of struggles and maybe something happens with a lead in the third period, it goes the other way, which is going to happen in a 82-game schedule -- how do you react, there?And the Blue Jackets are doing it without leaning on any one line.Yeah, were a team that rolls four lines, said right winger Cam Atkinson, who has six points in his last three games. Thats how we have success. Everyone is involved, thats what weve been doing, and its been great.On Monday, Oilers general manager Peter Chiarelli announced that defenseman Darnell Nurse had undergone successful surgery to repair ligament and bone damage in a foot. He is expected to be out for another 12 weeks.But help is on the way. Coach Todd McLellan said defenseman Brandon Davidson, who has been on injured reserve for all but one game this season, could be activated in time for Tuesdays game.I think the next game is a good possibility, said Davidson, who played 51 games for the Oilers last season. Im just kind of waiting on the last call, but I think things went well on the ice today in practice and over the last little while. I feel I will be available for tomorrow.To make room, the team sent down defenseman David Musil, son of former Oiler Frantisek Musil, to their AHL affiliate in Bakersfield, Calif.McLellan said Davidson will need time to readjust to the pace of the NHL game.I feel that the call-up players have a better chance of success than the injured players, McLellan said. Theyve been playing and theyre somewhat up to pace, where Davie will go into the lineup and I think hes played six or seven minutes all season. It will be an adjustment for him, the game is moving pretty fast for him, at least for how he remembers it.Mikal Bridges Suns Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

The Gunners campaign has sparked frustration among the fans, with protests planned for the Sky Live home game against Norwich on Saturday evening, and Winterburn has suggested Wenger is now in the crunch phase of his near 20-year reign in north London. Speaking to Sky Sports Now, Winterburn, who spent 13 seasons with the Gunners from 1987, said: The problem Arsenal had was they sold the dream of moving to the new stadium to be able to compete with the big clubs. The club has very special values and one is to stick together and support the team - there is no success otherwise. Arsene Wenger I think whats happened is theyve moved backwards in terms of being able to challenge for the title.Winterburn feels that if being judged over a three-year period, Wenger is running out of time to produce a title.Yes theyve been successful in terms of getting into the Champions League, but ... I would go back two years and then next year, because they are coming out of that period now. Hes just said it: Weve got the financial clout. So in my eyes in those three years they would have to at least had a very, very strong challenge for the title.They wont do it this season obviously, they didnt do it last season so they have to do it next season, but they have to spend money. Arsene Wenger highlights Arsenals home form against the smaller teams as the reason they didnt win the title Wenger responded to criticism in his news briefing ahead of the Norwich game calling on supporters to back his team rather than take part in the scheduled protests, but Winterburn admits he has sympathy with the fanss who last enjoyed Premier League success with the Invincibles of 2003-04.ddddddddddddArsene Wenger will have to go out this summer and spend money because if he doesnt, the supporters will look at it and say, Well, we are out of this financial restraint that we were in now. Were not good enough to win the league this season, so weve got to spend some money and re-strengthen, he said. I believe Wenger will have to do that. If they do that then it may be that the supporters will back him. But there is certainly a large majority who are feeling theyve been sold the wrong dream at the moment and its time for Wenger to go. Geoff Shreeves sits down with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to talk about Leicesters remarkable season and where it went wrong for Arsenal Having worked under him, I still think he is the man to take them forward, but theyve got to get those signings right this season and the earlier they do it the better, because then the fans will look at that and say, Oh, well, okay, it looks like we do mean business this time.Leicester are just three points away from claiming their first top-flight title despite spending the majority of last season in a relegation battle.The Foxes remarkable season has surprised and captivated the football world and Winterburn believes their success on a much smaller budget has reflected poorly on the top teams, especially Arsenal. Were talking about Arsenal needing to spend money to win the league, but we are looking at a team this season in Leicester who havent spent a huge amount of money, he said.Its their organisation and their desire, that has taken them to the brink of winning the Premier League.If it had been one of the top teams who had won the title this season then I think the supporters would have said, well okay weve got a big team winning it, but instead they are looking at it and saying well this was our year.Also See:Sky Live: Arsenal v NorwichNicholas backs Arsenal protestsWelbeck winner tops Twitter listBack us, Wenger urges fans ' ' '
