(SportsNetwork.com) - The San Jose Sharks aim to cap a season-high seven-game homestand with a fourth straight victory on Monday night as they take on the Edmonton Oilers. The Sharks are 5-1-1 in their past seven games overall and shut out the Chicago Blackhawks 2-0 on Saturday thanks to Antti Niemis 31 saves. Niemi recorded his fourth shutout of the season and 31st of his career as he topped his former club. He made some very tough saves in succession, Sharks coach Todd McLellan said about Niemi. Joe Thornton and Melker Karlsson each had a goal and an assist for the Sharks, who are looking to record their longest winning streak since a season-high five-game run from Dec. 9-20. San Jose is second in the Pacific Division with 60 points, 10 back of the first-place Anaheim Ducks and three up on both Vancouver and Calgary. Tyler Kennedy missed a second game in a row on Saturday with a lower-body injury, while Tye McGinn exited early versus the Blackhawks with an undisclosed ailment. Both are questionable for this game. Edmonton enjoyed a stretch of three victories in four games ahead of Saturdays meeting with the Calgary Flames, but failed to hold an early lead and allowed four third-period goals in a 4-2 defeat. Jordan Eberle and Benoit Pouliot scored in the first period for the Oilers, while Ben Scrivens made 29 saves in the setback. They just kept coming, Edmonton interim coach Todd Nelson said. They never change their game and we got away from a few of the things that were working for us in the first. Edmonton, last in the Western Conference with 35 points, was without forward Taylor Hall for a third game in a row due to a bruised left leg, but he hopes to return tonight. He is tied for the club lead with 18 assists and third with 29 points. The Oilers have lost 10 of their past 12 versus the Sharks overall and five straight in San Jose. Scrivens is 2-4-1 in his career versus the Sharks with a 3.13 goals against average and .909 save percentage in seven meetings, recording one shutout. Niemi holds a career mark of 10-1-1 against the Oilers with a 2.45 GAA and .905 save percentage in 12 meetings. Fake Vans . Then Klay Thompson put his foot on the gas.

Dillashaw successfully defended his bantamweight title with a fifth-round TKO over late fill-in Joe Soto at UFC 177 on Saturday night.Dillashaw (12-2) was never hurt in his first title defence and playfully toyed with the crowd, sticking out his tongue and raising his hands in the air at one point during the fifth round. Dillashaw later landed a hard kick to the side of the Sotos head and followed with an equally hard left hand that dropped the challenger, then pounced on Soto and landed several more punches before the fight was stopped at the 2:20 mark.Dillashaw was originally slated to fight Renan Barao, the man he upset to win the title from in May at UFC 173. But Barao was a late scratch after he fell and hit his head while trying to cut weight on Friday.The change seemed to throw Dillashaw slightly off track.He pressed the action for a majority of the night but looked nothing like the fighter who dominated Barao for five rounds in one of the greatest upsets in UFC history. Many of Dillashaws punches missed, especially early when Soto repeatedly covered up.Still, Dillashaw was comfortably ahead on all three judges scorecards when the fight was stopped.Its been crazy, Dillashaw said. It was a tough one. To switch my opponent at the last-minute was a real stressful situation. I knew he was going to be a little better with his wrestling so I had to be hesitant with my stand-up (attack).Soto (15-3) was penciled in to fight Anthony Birchak on the undercard before getting the unexpected invitation into the main event in his UFC debut.He turned out to be much more than just a fill-in fighter.A one-time training partner of Dillashaws, Soto looked comfortable in the spotlight and occasionally stung the champion with a stinging left jab. He ended the fight with blood streaming down his nose and receeived a warm hug from Dillashaw.ddddddddddddIt was a dream come true that UFC asked me to fight for the title, Soto said.Dillashaw was in control from the start.He dropped Soto to the mat with a leg sweep one minute into the fight. Soto returned the favour later in the first round with a kick that sent Dillashaw down briefly before the champion got up and unleashed a flurry of punches, though only a few landed.Soto stayed on the defence in the second round before finally landing a left-right combination. Soto also scored with a straight left that caught Dillashaw on the chin but wasnt able to sustain his offence.Dillashaw continued to score in the third then outlasted Soto when the two went toe-to-toe briefly in the fourth.After Soto missed on a takedown attempt early in the fifth round, Dillashaw backed Soto against the cage and landed several left jabs. With the crowd chanting, T.J., T.J., Dillashaw stuck his tongue out and raised his hands before his final combination sent Soto to the mat.I got a little too loose at times, Dillashaw said. I didnt want to put too much into each punch because I knew he was a good wrestler. And I was a little too kick happy at the beginning.In the semi-main Tony Ferguson won his third straight fight with a split decision over Danny Castillo.Ferguson (17-3) scored early but couldnt finish several submission attempts, then had to hold on at the end when Castillo (17-7) took the action to the ground.On the undercard, 10th-ranked Bethe Correia (9-0) stopped Shayna Baszler (15-9) by TKO 1:56 into the second round of their womens bantamweight fight and immediately called out champ Ronda Rousey afterward.Also, lightweight Diego Ferreira (11-0) stayed unbeaten with a TKO of Ramsey Nijem (10-5), and Yancy Medeiros (10-2) submitted Damon Jackson (9-1) in another lightweight bout.
