on how the Oilers can build on that much-needed

Moments after Edmonton beat the San Jose Sharks to end its lengthy losing streak, coach Dallas Eakins was focused on how the Oilers can build on that much-needed victory in the rematch. Coming off their first win in four weeks, the Oilers conclude a home-and-home set with the Sharks on Tuesday night in San Jose. Edmontons 0-7-4 skid ended Sunday when David Perrons go-ahead goal 10:26 into the third period held up for a 2-1 victory. The win came two days after Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish said the struggling franchise is under scrutiny and that everybody from the players to the front office is under evaluation. The Oilers (7-15-5), who have earned points in four of the last five, also snapped an eight-game home skid. Getting rid of that is huge, said Eakins, the second-year coach whose job appears safe for the moment. Whatever you want to call it, getting the monkey off your back, an elephant, a large gorilla it feels good for everybody. Most importantly, for our players and our fans. Faced with another matchup against the Sharks (14-11-4), surely smarting from being the first team to lose to Edmonton since the Rangers on Nov. 9, Eakins wouldnt let his clubs celebration last long. Were not going to have a parade over this, he told the NHLs official website. We have to get right back to business and play this same team, which is an extremely hard team to play against. Edmonton has dropped five straight on the road, though the last three were decided in overtime. The Oilers, held to two or fewer goals in eight of 10, caught San Jose on the tail end of games on consecutive nights. The Sharks 21 shots were their second-fewest of the season. San Jose was probably a tired group and we got them on the second night of a back-to-back, which was fortunate for us and helped us out, said Edmontons Ben Scrivens, who allowed 10 goals in his previous two starts against the Sharks prior to Sunday. But at the end of the day, we executed pretty well. That has to be our expectation now, of how we have to play. The Sharks will be looking for a fourth consecutive home victory overall and against Edmonton. San Joses four-game winning streak ended Sunday, but coach Todd McLellan wont use fatigue as a reason for the setback. If you go there, it begins to sound like were using excuses, he said. Teams play (back-to-back) in the league all the time. I still think that good teams can find ways, and we almost did. (You have to) find ways to win those games. San Joses Patrick Marleau extended his point streak to five games with an assist on Tye McGinns first goal of the season. Marleau has four goals and three assists in his last six versus Edmonton. Perron has two goals with two assists in the last four games. He has a goal in two of his last three against the Sharks. Its likely Antti Niemi will be back in San Joses net after backup Alex Stalock started Sunday. Niemi, who has won his last four starts, is 9-1-1 with a 2.40 goals-against average against Edmonton.

Doubles are set for Saturday with reverse singles on Sunday to decide which team reaches the quarterfinals.Quick bowler Stuart Broad wants England to be feared by opposition teams and believes they need to be more ruthless, starting with the third Investec Test against Sri Lanka at Lords. England have already won the three-match series, courtesy of victories at Headingley and Chester-le-Street, but Broad insists the side will be going all out to record their first Test series whitewash since 2011.That comfort zone is a very dangerous place to be in sport, he told Sky Sports News HQ. We know that we won the Ashes and lost the last Test match and won in South Africa then lost the last Test match. Broad believes England need to be more ruthless Weve not been very good at stamping our authority on series and being ruthless. Were very aware that if we want to be the best team in the world then weve got to step up and raise our game even if the series is won or lost.We want to be a ruthless team, we want to be the team that people fear playing. I think you need a bit of that to be the best team in the world.While reaching the Test No 1 ranking may be the goal for Alastair Cooks men, Broad insists that the team are well aware they have improvements to make. I dont think weve clean swept a series since 2011, when we beat India 4-0, so thats quite a long time as a team and shows that weve got a lot of areas to improve on, he added.Weve played really well up at Headingley and Durham but there is still a lot of potential in this team that has been left out there slightly. There are areas we can certainly improve on and theres no better place to starting improving than at Lords this week.Being at Lords is a bonus, were so well supported there and its always a huge buzz to be there so that should certainly switch our minds on to put in a strong performance again.ddddddddddddOne man who has started the summer in fine form is James Anderson, who passed 450 Test wickets in the second Test and has since replaced Broad as the worlds No 1 ranked Test bowler. James Anderson has taken 18 wickets in the two Tests with Sri Lanka He beat me at golf this morning as well so Ive had a tough week! said Broad. Its fantastic for the team that weve got two bowlers in the top three.I know when Trevor Bayliss took over he said he wanted more of our players to be up in the rankings because it means well be doing better as a team.Its great to see one of my great mates and bowling partners get to No 1 following Beefy (Sir Ian Botham) and Harmy (Steve Harmison) so hes delighted. Im sure hes not said that, hes not really smiled yet! But I know he is delighted to have reached that and its a great battle for us to have as well.Its quite exciting, [competing with] one of your best mates and partners for nine or 10 years trying to be the best in the world, it can only help the team.Stuart Broad was speaking as an ambassador of Hardys, the official wine of England cricket.Watch England take on Sri Lanka in the third Investec Test from 10am on Thursday, live on Sky Sports 2 HD.
