(Sports Network) - The Edmonton Oilers will try to avoid a fourth loss in five games to begin their longest road trip of the season, as they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets for Tuesdays battle at Nationwide Arena. The Oilers are just 1-2-1 at the start of a nine-game swing and the club has lost two straight in regulation. Edmonton has lost each of its last two tilts by 4-2 scores, including Sundays setback at Minnesota. The Wild scored three of the four goals potted in the third period on Sunday to down the Oilers. Mikko Koivu, Charlie Coyle and Dany Heatley all lit the lamp for Minnesota in the third. Magnus Paajarvi and Sam Gagner scored for Edmonton, while Devan Dubnyk played well in defeat, making 39 saves for the Oilers, "We have to find ways to raise our level (of play) and compete," Gagner said. "Its a tough loss. We have to do some searching here and get ready for the next one." The Oilers played Sunday without forward Taylor Hall, who is dealing with a strained hamstring. The No. 1 overall pick of the 2010 NHL draft is questionable for Tuesday. Hall is second on Edmonton this season with 18 points on four goals and a team-high 14 assists. The Oilers have won three straight and five of the last six meetings in this series. Edmonton also has won two in a row in Columbus after dropping its five previous contests in the Buckeye State. Edmonton, which will visit Detroit, Nashville, Chicago and Colorado to complete this swing, is 4-5-2 as the guest this season. The Blue Jackets are last out of 15 teams in the Western Conference and trail Edmonton by four points for the 14th seed. However, Columbus was able to end a four-game slide in its last trip to the ice, notching a 2-1 overtime win Sunday against visiting Colorado. Artem Anisimov scored 2:26 into extra session to lift the Blue Jackets to a win after consecutive overtime losses. Anisimov beat Colorado goaltender Semyon Varlamov with a wrist shot from the right circle to give Columbus just its second win in nine games (2-5-2). "He was a monster tonight," Blue Jackets center Ryan Johansen said of Anisimov. "He came up big for our team." Vinny Prospal also scored Sunday for Columbus, while Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 18-of-19 shots for the win. Sundays test kicked off a four-game homestand for the Blue Jackets, who are 4-4-3 at Nationwide Arena this season. Frederik Sorensen Juventus .

MIAMI -- Ray Allen will take less money for a chance at another NBA championship. Allen told the Miami Heat on Friday night that he intends to accept their contract offer and leave Boston after five seasons, even though the Celtics could pay him about twice as much as the reigning NBA champions will be able to next season. Miami could only offer Allen the mini mid-level, worth about $3 million a year. Heat owner Micky Arison tweeted the news just after 9:30 p.m., or about 2:30 a.m. Saturday in Europe, where Arison has been for several days. "I was just woken up with great news," Arison wrote. "Welcome to the family." Arison ended the tweet by making mention of Allens jersey No. 20, and didnt mention the NBAs leading 3-point shooter by name. A person briefed on details of the decision told The Associated Press that Arison got the word from Heat President Pat Riley, who made Allen the teams top free-agent priority -- especially in recent days. Allen, who will be 37 this month, arrived in Miami on Thursday for a visit, went to dinner with Riley, coach Erik Spoelstra, team executive Alonzo Mourning and others Thursday night, then left Friday to presumably decide his future. Hours later, the choice was made. Allens agent, James Tanner, confirmed the decision to the AP not long after Arisons tweet. Allen, who made a career-best 45 per cent of his 3-point attempts this past season cannot officially sign until Wednesday because of the leagues moratorium. Allen becomes the latest player to be sold by Riley on the notion of sacrifice since the blockbuster summer of 2010. The Heat convinced LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all to take less money than they could have made elsewhere in that off-season, so there would be enough room left to add players like Udonis Haslem, Mario Chalmers and Mike Miller. Then last summer, Shane Battier accepted a deal that will pay him $3 million annually., The approach clearly worked. Next fall, the Heat will raise a championship banner, and Allen will be with them for the title defence. "HeatNation continues to grow," Wade wrote on Twitter late Friday night. And James added, "please welcome our newest teammate Ray Allen" with the added hashtag of "Wow." Wade and James both were involved on some level in the recruitment of Allen. James took to Twitter and Facebook in recent days to let his millions of followers know how much he wanted to see Allen in a Heat uniform, and Wade tweeted on Wednesday that the nextt day -- the one where Allen was visiting -- would be a big one for the franchise.dddddddddddd In the end, it appeared that the biggest push -- again -- came from Riley, who said before free agency started that Miami had identified "five or six" clear targets to add to the roster. He never specifically said Allen, and given how James was letting the secret out on Twitter anyway, Riley didnt have to say anything else. New Orleans Hornets guard Jarrett Jack asked his followers in a tweet about an hour after the Allen story broke if he was "wrong for thinking ray allen is a traitor" for signing with Miami. Even NFL stars were reacting Friday night. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick used the following hashtags on Twitter to describe his reaction to Allens decision: "loaded," "finalpiece" and "notfair." Theres probably more than a few people in Boston who would agree. Miami is still hoping to add at least one more piece through free agency, and is expected to meet this weekend with Marcus Camby and Rashard Lewis. Allen was mentioned in some trade possibilities this past season, and eventually lost his starting job to Avery Bradley. Allen needed surgery earlier this off-season to remove bone spurs from his right ankle, though said when the Celtics were ousted from the playoffs by the Heat for the second straight year that his playing days were not over. "Theres still a lot of basketball left in my legs," Allen said in Miami not long after the Celtics dropped Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals to the Heat. "I know that for sure. So its hard to say what can happen, what may happen." Not even a month later, Allen -- who helped the Celtics win the 2008 NBA title -- decided to join Miami. Earlier this week, the Celtics reportedly agreed on a $15 million, three-year deal with shooting guard Jason Terry. But Boston also wanted to keep Allen, with general manager Danny Ainge quoted in recent days saying "we really want Ray to come back. Time will tell." Miami wanted Allen because of its ongoing quest to keep surrounding James, Wade and Bosh with shooters who extend defences and therefore create room around the basket for the "Big Three" to attack. That approach worked perfectly for Miami in the playoffs -- the Heat were 9-1 when making at least eight 3-pointers in playoff games (7-6 otherwise), and they hit 14 in the finals-clincher over Oklahoma City. Allen has made an NBA-record 2,718 3-pointers. cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
