A coaching change hasnt helped the Edmonton Oilers end their losing ways. Things likely wont get any easier Sunday when the Oilers look to avoid a seventh consecutive defeat and halt their home struggles against the Dallas Stars, who will try for a season-high fourth straight victory. Oilers centre Leon Draisaitl will be a healthy scratch. A pair of one-goal losses since Mondays firing of coach Dallas Eakins has shown Edmonton (7-20-6) remains competitive, but hasnt done much to lower the frustration level. Close isnt good enough, said forward Boyd Gordon, who scored the first goal of Thursdays 4-3 loss at San Jose. Were struggling to win games the whole season and (Thursdays) a prime example of that. Mired in a 1-12-5 stretch, the Oilers do have something positive to build on after scoring more than two goals for the first time in nine games and holding a 3-2 lead after two periods against the red-hot Sharks. I thought our guys went to the net hard, Gordon told the Oilers official website. Look at our goals, they were hard-working goals. If we continue to do that, itll continue to happen where the bounces go our way. Interim coach Todd Nelson likes the encouragement he hears amongst the players on the bench, and like Gordon, agrees the Oilers prolonged struggles arent due to a lack of effort. I thought we competed hard (Thursday), said Nelson, who was in his fifth season coaching Edmontons AHL affiliate in Oklahoma City before the promotion. I thought we scored goals the way we have to. It was a good effort by everybody. Its a start and a move in the right direction. Putting 60 minutes together, (though), there were a few lapses there - those things happen. The Oilers have suffered too many lapses at home, where it has lost 10 of 11 while averaging 1.63 goals. Dallas (13-13-5) has won five straight in Edmonton by a combined 16-5 score and enters this visit looking to complete a perfect three-game road trip. The Stars are also seeking a fourth win in a row overall, which would mark their longest winning streak since a five-game run in April 2013. Jamie Benn had a goal with an assist and Kari Lehtonen made 21 saves in Fridays 2-1 victory at Calgary. Its been nice to play a few good games in a row now, Lehtonen told the Stars official website after making his fifth straight start. That gives confidence to everybody. Lehtonen has stopped 48 of 49 shots on the trip following a 2-2-1 stretch during which he posted a 3.82 goals-against average. Hes been great, teammate Trevor Daley said. Hes challenging the shots a lot more, hes coming out to the top of his crease. Hes doing what he does. Lehtonen has an 0.99 GAA and one shutout during a five-game winning streak at Edmonton. He beat the Oilers for the 12th time in 15 overall starts after making 35 saves in a 3-2 home victory Nov. 25. Dallas Tyler Seguin scored two of his league-leading 23 goals in that contest. He has four goals with two assists in five games against the Oilers. Edmontons Taylor Hall hasnt recorded a goal in a career-high 11 straight contests since scoring in last months loss to the Stars.

He didnt have big expectations entering the tournament but proceeded to take down some of the biggest names in tennis en route to the final. Once he got there, arguably the greatest player in the sports history became his latest victim. Tsonga relied on his powerful serve and strong baseline game in a 7-5, 7-6 (3) victory over second-seeded Roger Federer at Rexall Centre on Sunday. The Frenchman took advantage of a rare off-day from the Swiss great and capitalized on his chances. "Im working hard, my motivation came back," said Tsonga, who has battled knee problems over the last two years. "I want to win, I want to play my best tennis on the court. And it happened today." It was his fourth straight victory over a top-10 opponent. He upset top-seeded Novak Djokovic in the third round, eighth-seeded Andy Murray in the quarter-final and seventh-seeded Grigor Dimitrov in the semifinal. Tsonga earned US$598,900 for winning the $3.78-million tournament while Federer received $293,650 as the finalist. It was Tsongas second career Masters 1000 Series win and his first victory at this event. He took out three members of the so-called Big Four this week. The other, 2013 champion Rafael Nadal, withdrew due to injury. "I think for me its going to be a new motivation because just last year I always lost against those guys and it was really frustrating for me," he said. "Then today a win against (Federer), its good for me, its good for my ambition and its good for my career." Federer, a 17-time Grand Slam champion, was his usual consistent self in a semifinal win over Feliciano Lopez a night earlier. But he had a hard time with the quick turnaround to a mid-afternoon start on a glorious summer day. "I fought, I mixed it up and I was hoping to sort of sneak in a set and then maybe he would get a bit nervous or maybe would play a bad game," Federer said. "But I just couldnt create enough opportunities. So I think he deserved to win at the end of the day. "It was pretty simple, in my opinion." The first set was a rather choppy affair. Both players made some unforced errors over thhe first few games but each held serve.dddddddddddd. Tsonga struggled with his first serve at times but his spin-heavy second serve was just as effective. The quality of the match picked up late in the set. With Tsonga serving at 5-5, Federer showed his skills at the net with a deft drop shot that a fully-stretched Tsonga could not retrieve. Tsongas serve picked him up and he earned the hold to put the pressure back on the world No. 3. Federer became unglued in the final game, spraying two shots long to fall behind 15-30. He pulled even with a winner but was wide with a ground stroke that was unsuccessfully challenged, setting up the first break point opportunity of the set. The Swiss star then launched a ball well long to give Tsonga the opening set in 44 minutes. Tsonga, who reached No. 5 in the world rankings in 2012 but is currently No. 15, kept the pressure on in the second set. He had a break point chance with a 3-2 lead but Federer came back with an ace and fought back for the hold. The Frenchman had another great chance up 4-3 with a double-break point. However, Federer answered again with two straight points to get to deuce and then saved two more break point chances before holding with an ace. In the tiebreaker, Tsonga picked up a mini-break for a 4-3 lead and took the next three points for his first ATP title of the season and 11th of his career. Earlier, Bruno Soares of Brazil and Alexander Peya of Austria successfully defended their doubles title with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Ivan Dodig of Croatia and Marcelo Melo of Brazil.
