Division Season Leaving Recall Of ST.

Hockey Betting Lines

T.J. Oshie added a goal and an assist for St. Louis, which scored a season- high in goals to back Jaroslav Halak's 28-save effort.

 

Steve Mason gave up five goals on 33 shots to take the loss, the Blue Jackets' fifth in six games.

 

Mason made a sprawling glove save early in the middle stanza, and the Blue Jackets tied it when Fedor Tyutin's point shot deflected off Derek Dorsett and over Halak's left shoulder at the four-minute mark.

 

But Columbus' 3-2 lead lasted just 58 seconds into the third, as Steen put one in off a long rebound.

 

Game Notes

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Despite three straight losses, including back-to-back shootout defeats, the Minnesota Wild are still sitting comfortably atop the Northwest Division standings. The Vancouver Canucks are right on Minnesota's tail and will try to add to the Wild's misery when the two division inhabitants collide tonight at Rogers Arena. Minnesota is five points (45) ahead of Vancouver for the division lead and has the second-most points in the NHL behind Chicago (46).

 

"We didn't have the spark that we needed tonight," Minnesota's Matt Cullen said after the game.

 

Wild forwards Mikko Koivu (leg) and Casey Wellman (wrist) missed the game and are questionable for tonight. Center Pierre-Marc Bouchard (nose/lip) is also questionable and goaltender Josh Harding (head/neck) is expected to be available for this evening's game.

 

Clutterbuck has two goals and three assists in his last five contests.

 

"We played good against them, but they stayed in the game and we were lucky to put it away later," said Sedin, who has four goals in his last five games.

 

Minnesota and Vancouver have split a pair of meetings this season, with each team holding serve as the host, but the Canucks have won five of the previous seven matchups between the two clubs. The Wild are winless in eight straight games at Rogers Arena.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tonight's matchup for the Detroit Red Wings seems to be a favorable one, as they take on the Edmonton Oilers in the opener of a four- game road trip at Rexall Place. The Red Wings won the first meeting with Edmonton by a 3-0 score on Nov. 11 thanks to Jimmy Howard's 24 saves for his third shutout of the season and eighth of his career. The netminder backstopped Detroit to its sixth straight win and 10th in 13 attempts against the Oilers.

What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
