Canadiens invite struggling Bruins to Montreal

Hockey Betting Lines

02/07/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Bruins will try to avoid tying the longest losing streak in franchise history when they visit the rival Montreal Canadiens for today's Northeast Division clash at Bell Centre.

The Bruins have gone the last 10 games without a win, posting an 0-6-4 record since their last victory on January 14 in San Jose. Boston hasn't dropped 11 in a row since losing that many during a franchise-record slide from December 3, 1924-January 5, 1925.

Boston's cold streak has dropped the club into a tie for 11th place in the Eastern Conference, but the Bruins are still just two points away from the East's final playoff spot.

The Bruins picked up a point in their latest defeat, as they lost in a shootout Saturday afternoon against visiting Vancouver. Pavol Demitra scored with 4:42 left in regulation to tie the game, then registered the lone goal of the shootout, as the Canucks skated to a 3-2 decision at TD Garden.

Zdeno Chara and Michael Ryder scored for Boston, which is a brutal 1-9-4 since posting a 4-1 win at Ottawa on January 5. Tuukka Rask turned aside 29-of-31 shots in the loss.

Boston has managed just two goals or fewer in nine straight games and has just 13 tallies over that span.

Today marks the start of a four-game road trip for Boston, which is 10-10-5 as the visiting team this year.

Montreal, meanwhile, has won its last three games and is currently sixth in the East with 62 points -- five points more than Boston.

The Canadiens earned a victory over the defending Stanley Cup champions on Saturday, as Brian Gionta recorded two goals and one assist to lift Montreal to the 5-3 win over the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins.

Tomas Plekanec had a goal and two helpers for the Canadiens, who have won three in a row for the first time since tying a season-high with four straight victories from December 19-26.

Scott Gomez and Mathieu Darche also tallied while Jaroslav Halak stopped 18 shots for the win.

Canadiens defenseman Marc-Andre Bergeron missed Saturday's game with a lower- body injury and is questionable for this afternoon's test.

Montreal, which is playing the middle portion of a three-game homestand today, is 14-11-4 as the host this year. The Canadiens will complete the residency Wednesday night against Washington.

The Canadiens have won all three meetings with the Bruins this year and posted a 3-2 shootout win in Boston last Thursday. Montreal has taken 15 of 20 overall in the series and the Bruins have dropped nine of their last 11 games at Bell Centre.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
