Los Angeles Carter Name Salvage For Lightning

Hockey Betting Lines

"When you're struggling to get wins, you take them any way you can get them," said Stamkos, whose club had lost seven of eight coming in. "Hopefully this is the start of something good."

 

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.

 

Columbus, which is last in the NHL with 22 points, has lost three of its last four games to post a 1-2-1 record during a five-game homestand that ends tonight. Overall, the Blue Jackets are 6-9-2 as the host this season.

 

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.

 

Tampa Bay has won two of three and three of its last five meetings with the Blue Jackets. Columbus has won the last two matchups on home ice and is 3-1 with a tie in the five all-time encounters at Nationwide Arena.

 

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.

 

"The status doesn't change; it still feels like a win," Stevens said. "It was just a big win for our team considering the slide we've been on here. I just thought the guys played extremely hard tonight."

 

Detroit, though, claimed a 4-1 win at Los Angeles in the first of four meetings between the teams this year, getting a pair of goals from Pavel Datsyuk and 23 saves by Jimmy Howard. They have also been unbeatable at home, winning nine straight since their last loss at Joe Louis Arena on Nov. 3.

 

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.

 

The Penguins swept their four-game set with the Sabres last year by a 12-5 margin and had won 15 of the previous 19 meetings before Buffalo recorded a 3-2 victory at Pittsburgh on Oct. 15. The win was also just the Sabres' second in their last nine trips to the Steel City.
