(Sports Network) - The Phoenix Coyotes have yet to post consecutive victories this month. If they want to do so tonight, they will have to defeat an Edmonton Oilers club that has had their number over the last two seasons.

Phoenix heads to Edmonton, where it has lost four straight, tonight for a battle at Rexall Place.

The Coyotes began the season by going 9-4-0 in October, closing the month with three straight victories. However, Phoenix is just 4-5-1 in November.

Phoenix can notch back-to-back wins tonight after handling the Philadelphia Flyers, 3-1, on Saturday. The Coyotes scored the go-ahead goal in controversial fashion, as Adrian Aucoin bobbled the puck near the blue line on the power play in the third period, but the play was ruled onside and Keith Yandle eventually took a pass in the left circle that he converted into a goal.

"I guess the other team thought it maybe was an offside," said Matthew Lombardi, who returned from a three-game absence because of a lower-body injury and scored. "[Yandle] just found a hole there and I just kind of threw it to him and he made a great shot."

Ilya Bryzgalov made 23 saves for Phoenix and Shane Doan was credited with an empty-net tally that tied him with former Winnipeg Jet Thomas Steen for third on the franchise's all-time goals list with 264.

While the Coyotes have lost their last four -- as well as six of their last seven -- in Edmonton, last season's 3-2 home win versus the Oilers on March 26 snapped a seven-game overall losing streak in the series.

Edmonton will look to get back on track versus the Coyotes after Saturday's 5-2 loss to Chicago. Goaltender Jeff Deslauriers made 25 saves for the Oilers in a surprise start, as Nikolai Khabibulin missed the game with back spasms.

"Two days ago, I felt really good. All of a sudden [Saturday] morning, it just felt tight and just kind of progressed a little bit," Khabibulin told Edmonton's Web site on Sunday. "I don't know what it is. I had an injury, or I don't know what to call it, a couple of years ago, but I never had anything since then, so I don't know if it's ongoing or it just kind of happened."

Left without a No. 2 goaltender due to Khabibulin's injury, Edmonton signed Torrie Jung of the Western Hockey League to an amateur tryout before the contest to serve as the backup. Edmonton then took advantage of its off day on Sunday to recall netminder Devan Dubnyk from Springfield of the American Hockey League.

Khabibulin, meanwhile, said on Sunday his injury is a day-to-day thing.

Dustin Penner had a goal and an assist on Saturday and Sheldon Souray also scored for the Oilers, who have lost five of their last six games (1-3-2).

Edmonton, which did see forward J.F. Jacques (back) return to the lineup after a seven-game absence, fell to 1-1-0 on a five-game homestand and 7-4-1 overall as the host.
