The Seattle Storm have a chance to knock off the top two teams in the WNBA in consecutive games, when they head to Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday at Target Center.On Friday, Seattle upended the Los Angeles Sparks, owners of the best record in the league, behind a pestering defense and five 3-pointers from star guard Sue Bird. Forward Crystal Langhorne had 16 points and 10 rebounds. The Storm forced 17 Los Angeles turnovers and won despite an off night from rookie forward Breanna Stewart. The leading candidate for rookie of the year, Stewart made only 2 of 13 shots and finished with five points in the 79-72 win over the first-place Sparks.It was all about defense for us, guard Jewell Loyd told the Seattle Times after the win over the Sparks. Loyd finished with 15 points.Now, the Storm turn their attention the Lynx, who have dominated Seattle over the last three seasons.Minnesota (21-5) owns the second-best record in the WNBA, but also is coming off an upset loss. In their first game back since the month-long Olympic break, the Lynx lost to the Connecticut Sun, who are in last place in the Eastern Conference. Minnesota was uncharacteristically sloppy with the ball, committing 18 turnovers, and star forward Maya Moore was held to eight points.The Lynx are a 1/2 game behind Los Angeles in the league standings. The top eight teams, regardless of conference, qualify for the playoffs.With nine games remaining, Seattle (10-15) is clinging to eighth place. The Storm have not won consecutive games since late June and are last in the WNBA in rebounding, a concern against a Minnesota team ranked third in the league in rebounding.The Lynx have won all three meetings with Seattle this season, including a 79-72 win in the final game before the Olympic break. Moore had 21 points, and center Sylvia Fowles added 20 points and 12 rebounds in the win over the Storm, who shot just 38.6 percent from the floor.Minnesota has won nine of the last 10 meetings with Seattle overall.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The Edmonton Oilers are rolling right now and its not just their touted, high-flying offense making the push.Oilers goalie Cam Talbot has been sensational to start the season and on Friday night he stopped 26 shots for his 13th career shutout in a 2-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks.Talbot, who has started all eight games this season, recorded his second shutout in three games, as the Oilers won their fifth straight.Its probably one of the best stretches of my career right now, Talbot said. Im trying to stay focused, stay confident, and go out there and give us a chance to win every night.I need to go out there and make the saves Im supposed to make and hopefully make a few Im not supposed to make.Connor McDavid scored on a breakaway in the second period and Milan Lucic added an empty-netter to help the Western Conference-leading Oilers improve to 7-1-0.Talbots only blemish this season was a 6-2 drubbing on Oct. 16 to Buffalo. Talbot allowed all six of those goals, but he has since rebounded impressively.After that game I told myself what I told myself last year: just go out there and try not to do too much, make the saves I am supposed to make, start there and then build off of that, he said. I did that the next night out. I am in that kind of groove right now and hopefully I can keep it going.Ryan Miller had 25 saves for Vancouver and fell to 12-1-1 in his career against the Oilers. The Canucks, 0-3-1 since starting the season with four wins, were shut out for the second straight game and havent scored since the third period against Anaheim on Sunday.We have to keep grinding away and get some goals, Canucks captain Henrik Sedin said. Its a long season. If you keep playing the same way over and over you are going to bury those (chances) sooner or later. Its a matter of us keeping it going and not change things just because were not scoring right now. Its going to come.A quiet first period erupted midway when Erik Gudbranson took exception to Zack Kassians check and traded blows with the ex-Canuck.

The Oilers goalie also made a spectacular glove save on Markus Granlund midway that had the large contingent of Oilers fans cheering.McDavid got the Oilers on the scoreboard when he took a backhand pass from Lucic and wheeled past the Canucks defense to slip the puck through Millers legs with 8:29 left in the second. It extended McDavids league lead in points to 12 (five goals, seven assists).I knew if I got it to him he was gone, Lucic said. I dont care who you match up against him, with his wheels, he is going to beat most guys up the ice and he showed it tonight.Talbot was equally impressive early in the third as he swatted away Henrik Sedins slap shot. At the other end, Miller faced down McDavid on another breakaway, but this time made a fast glove save to keep his team in the game.(McDavid) was hard to handle tonight, said Vancouver coach Willie Desjardins. He created three or four great chances just with his speed.Lucic added the empty-net goal with 1:20 left to put the game out of reach.Game notes McDavid has at least a point in four straight games (two goals, four assists). ...
