The flu bug continues to work through the Edmonton Oilers lockerrom, literally and figuratively, with the latest victim being Shawn Horcoff.

Patrick O'Sullivan scored the shootout winner as the Edmonton Oilers blew a four-goal lead before salvaging a 6-5 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.
