EDMONTON, Alberta, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- Ethan Moreau had his first NHL hat trick Sunday night to lead the Edmonton Oilers past Phoenix 6-3.

Ales Hemsky scored twice in his first game back after missing 10 games due to a concussion, and Dustin Penner scored for the Oilers, who have won four of their last five games. Dwayne Roloson stopped 25 shots.

Keith Yandle, Daniel Carcillo and Peter Mueller scored goals and Ilya Bryzgalov finished with 23 saves for the Coyotes.

Phoenix had a power-play chance in the third but was unable to cash it in with a goal that might have tied the game at 4-4. With 1:37 left to play, Hemsky beat Bryzgalov to make it 5-3, and Moreau completed his hat trick with an empty-next goal to cap the scoring.
