EDMONTON, Alberta -- It has been more than 30 years since one team has had the number of their opposition to the degree that the Arizona Coyotes do over the Edmonton Oilers.Jamie McGinn broke a tie with 3:44 left and Mike Smith made 41 saves in the Coyotes 2-1 victory over the Oilers on Sunday. Arizona is 21-0-4 against Edmonton in the last 25 meetings, the longest stretch since Philadelphia went 32 games in a row without a regulation loss to Los Angeles.Smith couldnt explain the lengthy streak, as well as his own 15-1-1 lifetime mark against the Oilers.I cant, I just cant, Smith said. Its a team that we have had some success against, but I feel it is a little bit different of a team now than the one we have had so much success against in the past. It was definitely a challenging win for us.McGinn was left all alone in front and beat goalie Cam Talbot to the stick side.Radim Vrbata also scored to help the Coyotes complete a home-and-home sweep. They edged the Oilers in a shootout Friday night in the desert. The Coyotes have won three of their last four to improve to 8-10-2.We are 6-4-2 in our last 12 games, he said. We have a lot of young players and new players and we knew it was going to take some time to get our group together and we are moving in the right direction.Milan Lucic scored for the Oilers, and Talbot stopped 21 shots.Arizona opened the scoring late in the first period. Vrbata took a no-look shot from the corner that bounced off Oilers defender Kris Russell and past Talbot.Edmonton finally got on the board with 9:21 remaining in the third after a long point shot by Connor McDavid was tipped by Lucic in front of the net for his seventh of the season.Edmonton buzzed around the Arizona net with Talbot pulled for the extra attacker, but couldnt get a second goal past Smith. Hes 15-1-1 against the Oilers.We forced them to defend all game long, McDavid said. If that (first) goal doesnt go in, its a little bit of a different game. Ultimately we did a good job battling back and giving up that late goal is frustrating, but I dont think a lot of guys are too worried about it. Obviously those are big points against divisional teams that we cost ourselves, but its a long year and we get to see them three more times.Game notes It was the second of five meetings between the teams this season. ... The last time the Oilers beat the Coyotes in regulation time was Jan. 25, 2011.UP NEXT:Coyotes: At San Jose on Tuesday night.Oilers: Host Toronto on Tuesday night. Jeremy Lin Hawks Jersey .

Alex Len Hawks Jersey . "I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from. Tracy Mcgrady Hawks Jersey . Sgt. Eric ONeal says most of the arrests at Monday nights game were for public drunkenness, though one person was taken into custody on suspicion of trying to steal a seat from the stadium. PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- Justise Winslows position with the Miami Heat has finally been clarified.Hes their small forward.That is, unless hes playing power forward.Or shooting guard. Or defending the oppositions point guard. Or playing at center, as he did at times out of necessity in last seasons Eastern Conference semifinal series against Toronto.In Heat vernacular, the second-year player out of Duke is a Swiss Army knife, a jack-of-all-trades whose role is fast increasing. Not only will Winslow be called upon to play multiple positions, hes also being asked to take more of a leadership role now for a team that -- without Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh -- is rebuilding on the fly this season.Thats what I want, Winslow said Wednesday. Thats what Ive been working for my whole life, to make it to the NBA -- not only that, but to be a star and have my own team one day. This is the next step in me progressing and getting there, expanding my role and growing as a leader. And I accept whatever the coaching staff throws at me.Winslow was one of the last players to leave the court after Wednesdays morning practice, a full-contact session that had players diving on floors and crashing into one another throughout. And after it was over, Winslow spent a good half-hour working on his shot.The oldest Heat player is taking notice of the extra work the youngest Heat player is doing.Hes going to play a little bit of everything, said 36-year-old Heat forward Udonis Haslem. Just be Justise Winslow. Be that Swiss Army knife we need. One night it might be 10 rebounds. Another night it might be seven assists. Another night it might be 15 to 20 points. Just be Justise Winslow. He has the ability to do all those things and he has a high-enough basketball IQ where he knows when he needs to be aggressive, make plays and do oother things.ddddddddddddWinslow, who would be going into his junior year at Duke if he wasnt in the NBA right now, isnt just Miamis youngest player -- he holds that distinction by a lot.Hes 20; next on the Heat age lists are 23-year-olds Briante Weber, Stefan Jankovic and Josh Richardson.He was quiet, Haslem said. But he fit in right away.Winslow was the fifth-youngest player to get time in the NBA last season, older than only Tyus Jones, Stanley Johnson, Rashad Vaughn and Devin Booker. And more than half of the 60 players to get taken in this years draft are older than Winslow as well.He doesnt have to listen to anybody elses expectations, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Theres so many things out there about who he needs to be or what position he needs to play, how many more points a game he has to score this year. Hes going to get more minutes, more responsibilities. I want him to embrace that in a healthy way and not try to live up to anything coming from the outside.That doesnt mean there arent things Winslow wants to emulate.Wades departure over the summer hit Winslow hard. They bonded quickly, forged by Wade realizing that Winslow was willing to learn anything and everything he could from the three-time NBA champion wanted to teach. Winslow would spend time chatting up Bosh about nuances of the big-man game; their lockers were side-by-side last season.And this summer, Winslow was part of the group invited by USA Basketball the U.S. Olympic team and help them prepare for what became a gold medal at the Rio Games.Seeing all those guys come together and not really care about stats before the gold medal, thats the kind of mindset we have to have as a team, Winslow said.
