Boston Subban Salvage Name From Jets

Hockey Betting Lines

Chris Campoli, P.K. Subban and Lars Eller all scored for Montreal, while Carey Price allowed all five goals on 35 shots. The Canadiens led the game, 3-2, around the midway point of the second period, but New Jersey scored three unanswered goals to skate away with the win.

 

Montreal forwards Brian Gionta (lower body) and Scott Gomez (groin) and defenseman Andrei Markov (knee) are currently on injured reserve and winger Travis Moen has sat out the last two tilts with a foot problem. Moen, who is tied for fourth on the team with eight goals, is doubtful for this evening's tilt.

 

"We had a well rounded game today," said Thomas, who made 31 saves. "We had all types of situations, power plays, penalty kills and even strength. We scored on the power play and we started out the game with a big goal, which helped put the momentum in our favor. Then, every time there was an opportunity for them to get back in the game, with a penalty or something, we came up big on the penalty kill."

 

Boston has 19 goals during its four-game winning streak and the B's are now tied with Philadelphia atop the Eastern Conference with 43 points.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Some rest was much needed for the weary Stars, who are back in the Lone Star State after a five-game road trip that took the Dallas-based club to both coasts. Though not nearly racking up as much mileage, the Anaheim Ducks probably can't wait to end their current trek.

 

Dallas began its swing on the West Coast, losing a game in San Jose before picking up a victory over the Kings on Dec. 10. The Stars then headed east and bested the Rangers and Islanders, but seemed to run out of steam in Friday's 6-3 setback at the Devils.

 

Richard Bachman started his fourth straight game and had allowed just three goals over the previous three -- the first of his NHL career -- before getting tagged for six goals on 31 shots versus New Jersey.

 

Dallas played on back-to-back nights for the sixth time this year and has lost all six contests in the back end of those sets.

 

The Ducks, who are last in the division with 23 points, are looking for their first road win since Oct. 27. They are 0-8-3 in 11 games as the guest since and play the third of a five-game swing this evening.

 

Anaheim kicked off the road trip with a 4-1 defeat in Chicago and was then dealt a 5-3 loss on Saturday in Teemu Selanne's return to Winnipeg. Selanne began his career with the original Jets before getting dealt to the Ducks. He logged two assists and leads Anaheim with 23 helpers and 33 points while recording two goals and 11 points over an eight-game point streak.

 

"We're not very happy with how we started the game," said Selanne. "You're supposed to enjoy the moment, but then we got back in the game. Bad second- period start again and we just do too many mistakes every night."

Big 12 Conference betting odds

Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State

Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.

Work left to do:

Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.

Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.

Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
