Tonight Helps Predators At Louis

Hockey Betting Lines

Vrbata owns 14 goals in his last 22 games after scoring only once in his first nine contests.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The fist-place Minnesota Wild will try to avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season when they host the lowly New York Islanders for this evening's clash at Xcel Energy Center. The Wild, who are leading the Northwest Division and are tied for the top spot in the Western Conference with 44 points, dropped consecutive games on back- to-back nights this week.

 

Matt Cullen, Mikko Koivu and Kyle Brodziak all had goals for the Wild, who haven't dropped three in a row since April 2-7 of last season.

 

Wild goaltender Josh Harding has been activated from injured reserve and will at least serve as Backstrom's backup tonight. Harding, who is 7-2-1 with a 2.14 goals-against average on the season, last played on Dec. 6 when he suffered a neck injury in San Jose. Rookie Matt Hackett had been serving as Minnesota's second goaltender, but was sent back to Houston of the AHL to make room for Harding.

 

The Islanders are last in the Eastern Conference with 24 points and enter tonight on a four-game losing streak. New York is also just 3-6-3 as the visiting team this year and is kicking off a three-game road trip tonight.

 

New York's most recent setback came Thursday against visiting Dallas, as Brenden Morrow and Jamie Benn scored early in the third period to help lift the Stars to a 3-2 decision at Nassau Coliseum.

 

New York goaltenders Rick DiPietro and Evgeni Nabokov are currently battling groin injuries so either Poulin or Al Montoya is expected to get the call in net tonight.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of teams shooting for their fifth consecutive wins will meet tonight in the Music City, as the Nashville Predators host the St. Louis Blues in a Central Division clash at Bridgestone Arena. The Blues have won four in a row for the second time this season and are now 12-2-3 since head coach Ken Hitchcock took over for the fired Davis Payne.

 

St. Louis and the Preds met once earlier this season on Oct. 8, when Nashville notched a 4-2 road victory to end a three-game slide in the series. The Blues have won the last two encounters in Tennessee.

 

St. Louis earned its most recent victory Thursday against the New York Rangers, as Alexander Steen had a goal and an assist to help lift the Blues to a 4-1 decision.
