Jackets Lidstrom Salvage Name From Angeles

Hockey Betting Lines

Stamkos has three goals and five points over his last two games and is tied for the NHL lead with 19 goals on the season.

 

Tom Pyatt, Ryan Malone and Nate Thompson each scored in the second period to give the Lightning a 4-2 lead, only to have Rene Bourque and Olli Jokinen score in the third period to salvage a point for Calgary. Mathieu Garon earned the win for Tampa with a 23-save effort.

 

The Blue Jackets last played on Thursday, when they were dealt a 2-1 regulation loss by the Los Angeles Kings. Dustin Brown scored the go-ahead goal near the midway mark of the third period to lift LA to the victory.

 

Jeff Carter lit the lamp for a fourth consecutive contest for the Blue Jackets, while Curtis Sanford turned aside 39-of-41 shots in defeat.

 

Blue Jackets forward Derek Dorsett could play tonight after sitting out the last two games with a lower body injury.

 

The Kings sit last in the NHL with 2.13 goals per game and have been held to a pair of goals or less in 10 straight outings. Los Angeles' front office had enough of the lack of production on Monday, firing head coach Terry Murray and replacing him on an interim basis with assistant John Stevens.

 

Both goals came in the third period and were scored by Dustin Brown and Davis Drewiske, while Jonathan Quick made 24 saves.

 

Los Angeles played without defenseman Willie Mitchell due to a groin injury and he is questionable for tonight as the Kings try to extend their winning streak at Detroit. The Kings have outscored the Red Wings 10-3 in winning the past three as the guest and have taken five of the last seven encounters overall.

 

The Red Wings did have a three-game win streak snapped on Thursday with a 4-3 setback at the Predators, who got a pair of goals from Shea Weber in the third period.

 

Tomas Holmstrom, Henrik Zetterberg and Lidstrom each had a goal and Howard made 17 saves for the Red Wings, who suffered just their third loss in 13 contests. They have scored 51 goals over their last 13.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Sabres were able to end a six-game slide to the Penguins in an October meeting that was minus Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby due to post-concussion syndrome. With the Pens' superstar once again sidelined, Buffalo will look to take advantage once more tonight in Pittsburgh and win consecutive games for the first time in over a month.

 

At the time, Crosby was still recovering from a concussion suffered last January and he ended a 10-month absence when he returned to action on Nov. 21. However, he skated in just eight games and logged 12 points before once again being shut down due to concussion symptoms stemming from a separate hit taken on Dec. 5.

 

Pittsburgh has played its last four games without Crosby and lost for the fourth time in five outings on Friday night with a 6-4 setback in Ottawa. Steve Sullivan paced the Pens' offense with a goal and two assists.
