Win Acquires Concussion Down Crosby

Hockey Betting Lines

Filip Kuba had a goal and Craig Anderson made 36 saves in the hard-luck loss for Ottawa.

 

Ottawa expects to get leading goal-scorer Milan Michalek back tonight after he missed the last five games with a concussion. The Czech winger passed his baseline concussion test on Thursday and is considered ready to go for tonight. Michalek has 19 goals and six assists this season.

 

Montreal edged the Senators, 2-1, in Ottawa on Nov. 4, giving the Canadiens wins in three of the last four meetings in this series. The Habs have also taken three out of four in Canada's capital city.

 

Pascal Dupuis, Jordan Staal, James Neal and Joe Vitale all scored for the Penguins in Friday's road win over the Jets, while Chris Kunitz added two assists.

 

Meanwhile, Pens goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury needed to make just 18 stops to lead his team past Winnipeg.

 

With Crosby sidelined, Neal and fellow forward Evgeni Malkin have been carrying Pittsburgh's offense, as both players enter tonight riding seven-game point streaks. Neal has six goals and three assists during his run, while Malkin has six markers and 10 assists.

 

Pittsburgh has won its last two home games and is 10-3-2 as the host this season.

 

Carolina posted an overtime win over Ottawa on Friday and emerged from the Christmas break to defeat the New Jersey Devils on Monday. The 4-2 decision over the Devils ended a three-game homestand for the Hurricanes. Carolina, which is 4-9-4 as the guest this year, will try to end a three-game road skid this evening.

 

Sutter scored his seventh goal of the season, but he was denied the second multi-goal game of his career. Tuomo Ruutu and Anthony Stewart also tallied for the Hurricanes, who have won three of five.

 

In the final minute, Devils goaltender Johan Hedberg was sent to the bench, setting the stage for Hurricanes history. Ilya Kovalchuk intended to pass from along the goal line back to Adam Henrique near the left point, but the puck eluded a falling Henrique and slid all the way down into the visitors' net with 29.4 seconds left.

 

The Pens and Hurricanes met twice in Raleigh earlier this season and both teams won one of those encounters. Pittsburgh has taken four of six overall in the series and has won two straight and six of the last nine matchups in the Steel City.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
