CBC SPORTS ONLINE - Radek Dvorak enjoyed one of his most productive nights as an Edmonton Oiler.
Dvorak posted one goal and two assists to lead the Oilers to a 5-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks before 16,839 fans at the Skyreach Centre on Tuesday.
Edmonton is 6-2-2-0 over its past 10 outings.
Jarret Stoll, Ethan Moreau and Raffi Torres had the other goals for the Oilers (9-7-2-0).
Mike York added two assists.
Ty Conklin turned aside 33 shots for his fourth win in five starts since No. 1 goaltender Tommy Salo bruised a hip.
Mark Bell paced the Blackhawks (6-8-4-2) with a goal and an assist, while Scott Nichol also scored.
Chicago, which was minus Eric Daze, Jocelyn Thibault and Alexei Zhamnov, is now winless in six (0-3-1-2).
Rookie Michael Leighton made 25 saves in his 15th NHL appearance.
Edmonton opened the scoring with a power-play goal as Dvorak tapped home Ales Hemsky's cross-crease pass for his second goal of the campaign at 10:35 of the first period.
Stoll stuffed in a Jason Smith rebound for his third and a 2-0 lead at 13:07.
Moreau made it 3-0 only 1:17 later when he pounced on a Nichol turnover to whisk in his sixth, unassisted.
Chicago answered back with a pair of second-period goals, Bell's third and Nichol's second at 6:55 and 13:23, respectively.
But Torres tallied his eighth when Leighton misplayed his low slap shot from the sideboards at the 9:53 mark.
Dvorak then completed the scoring with his second of the night into an empty net with 1:25 remaining.
**********************************
I was at this game tonight, and MAN, did the Blackhawks look horrible.
Mike Smith really destroyed that fabled Original 6 franchise, didn't he?
I mean, with Daze and Zhamnov out, the team is just looking that much worse.
Why don't you Chicagonians rise up and demand an improvement?
Show those stingy owners what's what!
I tell you what, we'll trade you Salo & Comrie for Ruutu and Anderson. Straight-up. Come ON!
