Gustavsson Point Crush Pound Into Win

Hockey Betting Lines

"Certainly getting shut out 1-0 is not something we like, but we earned a lot tonight," Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma said. "We're going to keep playing that way and we'll get wins playing just like that."

 

The Panthers began a three-game homestand in their last trip to the ice and skated away with a 2-1 victory over Vancouver. Scott Clemmensen made 25 saves and Marcel Goc netted the game winner for Florida as Monday's victory over the Canucks improved the Panthers' record on home ice to 11-4-5.

 

Dmitry Kulikov notched the other goal for the Panthers, who snapped a two-game skid and won for just the third time in nine games (3-4-2).

 

Florida and the Penguins have split a pair of meetings this year, with each team winning on home ice. Pittsburgh had won five straight in this series before the Panthers notched a 3-2 win on Nov. 19. The clubs have split the last eight encounters at the BankAtlantic Center.

 

Blair Jones scored the game-winner for the Flames at the 1:51 of the overtime decision. Jonas Hiller made the initial stop, but Jones followed up the shot by roofing his own rebound on the backhand for the win.

 

"It's a game of inches and it could have gone either way, but we didn't win it," Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau said. "We got a point, but at this stage of the game, I think we need two."

 

Hiller sat out Anaheim's previous game due to a lower-body injury and it's unclear if he'll be able to start on back-to-back days this evening. Jeff Deslauriers served as the backup on Thursday and could get the call this evening.

 

Edmonton trailed the Devils by a 1-0 score after 40 minutes, but Ales Hemsky knotted the game with his power-play marker at 8:32 of the third period. The score remained that way until New Jersey captain Zach Parise scored a power- play goal just 66 seconds into overtime to lift the to the 2-1 win at Rexall Place.

 

With talented young forwards Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle currently out with injuries, Hall has recorded a point in five straight games to lead the Edmonton offense. The 20-year-old Hall, who was selected by the Oilers with the first overall pick of the 2010 draft, has four goals and two helpers during his current point streak.

 

Tonight marks the first of four scheduled meetings between the Ducks and Oilers this season. Anaheim lost the opener of last year's season series before taking three straight from the Oilers, including a pair of victories in Edmonton. The Ducks have won eight of nine overall in this series and seven straight at Rexall Place.

 

Toronto has missed the postseason in each of the previous six seasons, but is currently sitting seventh out of eight playoff seeds in the Eastern Conference.
