ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The surprising Edmonton Oilers will face their first big divisional test when they play the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night at the Honda Center.The Oilers, who finished last in the Pacific Division last season, hold first place by two points over the third-place Ducks. Before this season, Edmonton finished last or next-to-last nine times in the past 10 seasons after reaching the 2006 Stanley Cup final.Connor McDavid, the first overall selection in the 2015 draft, has become the Oilers centerpiece and captain at 19. After missing three months of his rookie season because of a broken clavicle, McDavid leads the NHL with 14 assists and ranks third with 19 points in just his second season.Hes a very mature young man. Its surprising hes only 19-years old, the way he carries himself, left winger Milan Lucic told Sportsnet.ca.A former Oiler and a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame went further in his praise of McDavid.I think hes the best 19-year-old hockey player Ive ever seen, Wayne Gretzky told todaysslapshot.com. His teammates idolize him and believe hes the guy who is going to lead them to the Promised Land.But Edmonton brings a three-game losing streak into Anaheim. In each of those losses, the opposing team began the scoring within the first two minutes.I think thats been a little bit of our problem lately, gripping the sticks a little too tight, Lucic told the Edmonton Journal after Sunday nights 3-1 loss at home to the New York Rangers. You know, that confidence and that swagger that we had in the first eight games seemed to get away from us. We havent had it in the last eight games.Tuesday nights game also will feature the home debut of Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm, who entered the season as a restricted free agent. The 22-year-old Swede signed a six-year contract worth $31.5 million on Oct. 27 but had to wait for a visa before rejoining the Ducks on Wednesday in Columbus for a 3-2 overtime loss. After three games, Lindholm owns a plus-1 rating but has yet to register a point or a penalty.Meanwhile, goalie Jonathan Bernier is providing stiff competition for John Gibson, Anaheims undisputed starter as the season began. Acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs in July for a conditional draft pick, Bernier ranks eighth among NHL goalies with a .934 save percentage and owns a 2.08 goals-against average despite playing just six games. The 28-year-old veteran also won both of his starts this season.Gibson, however, allowed 13 goals in his past four starts, lost two of three decisions and watched Bernier relieve him in both defeats.Despite Gibsons recent slump, right winger Jakob Silfverberg believes the Ducks are lucky to have two interchangeable starting goalies, a pattern Anaheim followed last year with Gibson and Frederik Andersen.It just brings calmness to the team when he steps up and makes some big saves at key times, Silfverberg told the Orange County Register in referring to Bernier. Weve been very fortunate, in my opinion, to have two very good goalies. I think thats exactly the same case this year.

LOUIS -- After three perfect innings, Edinson Volquez barely qualified for the decision. The San Diego Padres bullpen picked up their starter by silencing the leagues top offence. Nick Vincent, Dale Thayer, Luke Gregorson and Huston Street worked an inning apiece after Volquez (7-8) faded at the end of a five-inning outing in a 5-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night. "Tough team, no doubt about that," manager Bud Black said. "Look at the batting average, RBIs, what they do with runners in scoring position. "Four no-hit innings. Outstanding." Street was perfect in the ninth for his 16th save in 17 chances after Carlos Quentins RBI double off Trevor Rosenthal in the ninth put the Padres up by two runs. The Cardinals entered the game leading the league with a .278 average but managed just a pair of walks the last four innings. "We have a really good offence and sometimes its just not going to happen for you," said St. Louis Allen Craig, who had a two-run single. Lance Lynn (11-5) lost for the fourth time in five starts, allowing four runs in five innings. Manager Mike Matheny said Lynn "just never had a feel for his fastball," and took note of "body language" and ponderous pacing. "Hes had a couple weird starts and when those start to compound youve got to stop and regroup, and it didnt look like he was able to do that tonight," Matheny said. "It was pretty slow and it was talked about, but you also dont rush a guy when he doesnt have a good feel for his fastball. "That wasnt how we drew it up." The only run for the Cardinals came on 29-year-old rookie Brock Petersons RBI groundout in his first major league at-bat after getting called up to replace injured Matt Holliday. Jedd Gyorko, Everth Cabrera and Nick Hundley added an RBI apiece for San Diego, which had lost 19 of 23.

The Padres had nine base runners the first three innings while taking a 4-0 lead, scoring twice in the third on a run-scoring wild pitch on a 2-2 pitch against Hundley followed by Hundleys broken-bat infield hit. Volquez retired the first nine batters in order, then allowed three runs on four hits, two walks and two wild pitches in the fourth and fifth. He lost his previous two starts and hasnt lasted longer than 5 1-3 innings his last three outings. "It was tough," Volquez said. "Theyve got a pretty good lineup and there were a lot of foul balls, too. My pitching count was a little bit high." Lynn has been an 11-game winner prior to the All-Star break both years in the St. Louis rotation, benefiting this year from an offence averaging nearly six runs per start. Hes been out of sync lately, giving up 10 runs in 9 1-3 innings his last two starts, and worked very deliberately against the Padres. "Youre going to go through phases when you dont go as deep as you like and Im in one of those phases right now," Lynn said. "Hopefully Ill turn it around quick. A starter going five is not going to get it done, if thats what youre asking."
