Suddenly-slumping Senators to host rival Leafs
Hockey Betting Lines
03/06/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Ottawa Senators will try to get back in the win column
tonight, when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs in a battle between Northeast
Division foes at Scotiabank Place.
The Senators have 76 points and are one back of Buffalo for the Northeast
Division lead. However, Ottawa has been dealt two straight 4-1 losses since
the NHL has emerged from its Olympic break. The club had won 14 out of 16
heading into the hiatus.
Ottawa was dealt a loss by the visiting New York Rangers on Tuesday and then
dropped Thursday's decision at Carolina. Manny Legace made 25 saves, helping
the red-hot Hurricanes stretch their season-high win streak to seven games in
the 4-1 victory.
Senators goaltender Pascal Leclaire gave up two goals on five shots in the
first 6:23 of the game before being pulled. Brian Elliott made 14 saves the
rest of the way for Ottawa.
"We needed a shake up, but we needed him to be better as well," said Ottawa
head coach Cory Clouston of Leclaire.
The Senators have a superb 23-9-3 record as the host this year and had won
seven straight on home ice prior to Tuesday's loss against the Rangers. Ottawa
will begin a three-game road trip Tuesday in Edmonton.
Meanwhile, the Maple Leafs, who are last in the Eastern Conference, have lost
four straight, including two in a row since returning from the Olympic break.
Toronto was able to record a point its last time out, dropping a 3-2 shootout
decision Thursday night in Boston. Miroslav Satan opened the scoring in the
first period and recorded the lone goal in the shootout for the Bruins.
Satan beat Maple Leafs goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere on a nifty deke to
the backhand in the third round of the extra segment. Boston netminder Tim
Thomas, meanwhile, turned away the trio of Phil Kessel, Jamie Lundmark and
Tyler Bozak, who tied the game six minutes into the third period, during the
shootout.
Viktor Stalberg had the other goal for Toronto, while Giguere stopped 29
shots.
"I couldn't ask for more from the guys. We had some great chances," said Leafs
coach Ron Wilson. " I tip my hat to Tim Thomas, he made some huge saves for
them,"
Toronto is just 2-8-3 in its last 13 games overall and has lost seven straight
on the road. The Leafs have a dismal 8-18-7 record as the guest this season.
These teams have split four previous matchups this season, with the Senators
posting a 3-2 win on November 17 in the lone meeting held in Ottawa. Toronto
has lost two straight, three of four and six of its last nine in Canada's
capital city.
