(SportsNetwork.com) - The Buffalo Sabres will try to end the longest losing streak in franchise history when they visit the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday in a meeting between teams sitting last in their respective conferences. Buffalo has lost 12 straight -- all in regulation -- for the longest slide in club annals. The Sabres, who havent won since Dec. 27 against the New York Islanders, also are mired in the NHLs longest pointless stretch since the Pittsburgh Penguins lost 13 in a row in regulation from Jan. 13-Feb. 12, 2004. A loss of any kind tonight also would give Buffalo the longest winless stretch in team history. With Tuesdays 4-1 loss at Calgary, the Sabres matched the dubious franchise mark set from Nov. 23-Dec.20, 1991, when Buffalo went 0-8 with four ties during a 12-game span. Buffalo enters tonights tilt with an NHL-low 31 points, two less than the Oilers, who are last in the Western Conference. Edmonton beat the Sabres earlier this season, posting a 3-2 regulation win in Western New York on Nov. 7. That was the Oilers second victory in the past three meetings after losing their previous six encounters with Buffalo. The Sabres have won four straight in Edmonton, but Buffalo has lost 12 straight (0-11-1) on the road. Buffalos last win away from First Niagara Center came in Montreal on Nov. 29. Buffalo held a 1-0 lead Tuesday in Calgary, but the Flames scored the next four goals to skate away with an easy win. Chris Stewart netted the lone goal for the Sabres, while Jhonas Enroth stopped 27 shots in the setback. They turned it up a notch and we just couldnt keep up, Sabres coach Ted Nolan said. Buffalo is playing the third part of a five-game road trip tonight. Nolans club will continue the swing tomorrow in Vancouver before capping it Tuesday in Montreal. The Oilers had won two straight before the All-Star break but lost their first game after the hiatus, dropping Tuesdays 2-1 decision against visiting Minnesota. Charlie Coyle scored the game-winning goal with 4:23 remaining in the third period. Boyd Gordon provided Edmontons lone goal and Viktor Fasth stopped 27-of-29 shots in defeat. We were flat and we have to respond next game, said Gordon. Weve been playing well as of late and we saw that more in the third. After tonight, Edmonton will play two straight and eight of its next nine on the road. The road-heavy stretch begins Saturday in Calgary.

Wall scored 24 points on a career-best five 3-pointers, Marcin Gortat had 19 points and 12 rebounds, and the Washington Wizards beat the Philadelphia 76ers 116-102. Bradley Beal had 17 points, Trevor Ariza scored 15 as seven Wizards reached double digits to help Washington earn its first win after starting 0-3. Walls shooting was the big surprise. The former No. 1 overall pick has a career shooting rate of 24.4 per cent beyond the arc. He made only three 3s in his entire sophomore season in 2011-12 and had 12 last season. "He might keep bombing 3s now," Beal joked. The Wizards set a franchise record with 18 3-pointers on 33 attempts. Wall was more impressed with the team getting its first win than his effort. "Theyre a great competitive team, and I like how they play as a young team," Wall said. "They dont give up. They definitely keep fighting until the end." Evan Turner led Philadelphia with 24 points and Spencer Hawes had 13. Rookie Michael Carter-Williams finished with 19 points, seven assists and five rebounds. After a surprising 3-0 start, the Sixers have lost two straight and are starting to play like the team that oddsmakers predicted would win less than 17 games this season. The Sixers sandwiched wins over Miami and Chicago with a comeback win at Washington last week. They overcame a 12-point, third-quarter deficit to beat the Wizards 109-102 and spoil their home opener on Friday. "They were a desperate team trying to find a win against a team that beat them five days ago," Sixers rookie coach Brett Brown said. "We made some not-so smart plays. I give them credit." The Wiizards led this one from the opening basket and never let up.dddddddddddd They had a 15-point lead midway through the first quarter after Beal hit his third 3-pointer in three tries, and took a 60-51 lead into halftime. The Sixers got close in the third following an 11-3 run. Turner started it with a pull-up jumper and he hit another jumper and 3-pointer during the stretch. Hawes layup cut it to 71-67, but Wall answered with a 3, and Gortat and Nene scored on tip-ins to extend the lead to 78-67. Beals jumper to start the fourth put the Wizards up by 15 and they led by double digits the rest of the way. "We withstood some stretches and we didnt succumb," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. "We didnt put our heads down. We sustained. I didnt see any guys down." The fast start had Sixers fans feeling a bit perplexed. Many are hoping for the team to lose so they could end up with the No. 1 overall pick so they could draft Kansas prospect Andrew Wiggins. But Brown and his team generated some early excitement so that created a dilemma for some fans who wanted the team to go winless for Wiggins. Opponents certainly are showing the Sixers respect. Beal called them a "good" team, a compliment no one wouldve expected. "When we play like this, we showed we can beat good teams," Beal said. "We know theyre a comeback team and we did a good job." NOTES: The 18 3s tied a floor record. Seattle had 18 at the Wells Fargo Center on Nov. 16, 2004. ... Philadelphias Daniel Orton left the game because of right knee soreness. He had five points in six minutes. ... The Sixers outshot the Wizards 47 per cent to 43.9, but Washingtons 3s made the difference. Philadelphia was 6 for 18 from beyond the arc. ' ' '
