    The postseason aspirations for the Edmonton Oilers are all but over. So, too, are the chances of the team finishing in last place in the league.

    And that to coach Ralph Krueger is a step in the right direction. The Oilers have had the dubious distinction of picking No. 1 in each of the last three drafts, something they hope to avoid.

    "We don't want the Edmonton Oilers picking in the top five," Krueger said. "Let's move up in the standings and get out of that bottom group. We still have goals. We want to get points."

    Jordan Eberle scored and had two assists, Devan Dubnyk stopped 33 shots and the Oilers snapped a six-game skid with a 4-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Friday night.
