Coyotes Beats Season In Buffalo

Hockey Betting Lines

Toronto is 10-10-1 as the visiting team this year, while Buffalo is 10-9-5 on home ice.

 

Phoenix has lost eight of its last 10 games, but has points in four straight. Following an overtime loss at Los Angeles and a victory over the Islanders, the Coyotes have dropped shootouts to the Rangers and Red Wings. The 3-2 loss to Detroit came last night in the middle portion of a three-game road trip.

 

Radim Vrbata netted his team-leading 21st goal, Taylor Pyatt also scored and Mike Smith made 40 saves. Phoenix is 11th overall in the West with 47 points, three back of a playoff spot.

 

The Blue Jackets fired head coach Scott Arniel on Monday and dropped a 5-2 decision to the Blackhawks on Tuesday under interim head coach Todd Richards. R.J. Umberger and Antoine Vermette scored the goals and Curtis Sanford gave up four goals on 24 shots.

 

Columbus wrapped up a four-game road trip with only one win and will play its next four at home. The Blue Jackets have lost four straight and seven of eight at home.

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Five wins in seven games has the Washington Capitals back in the playoff picture. A season high-tying losing streak, and according to head coach Guy Boucher Tampa Bay's worst loss of the year, has the Lightning fading in the Eastern Conference.

 

Washington snapped a two-game slide on Wednesday with a 1-0 win over Pittsburgh, moving into a tie with the Penguins for the eighth spot in the East with 46 points. Tomas Vokoun made 30 saves for his second shutout of the season and 46th of his career, while Jason Chimera potted the only goal.

 

"I didn't think one goal would be enough, but it turned out to be enough. We'll take it," said Chimera.

 

In winning the opener of a four-game homestand, the Capitals have taken their last four games as the host and have killed off 26 straight penalties over their last 10 home games.

 

"I would say that this is the hardest [loss] to take this year," Boucher admitted. "We always talk about attitude first, work ethic and discipline. In the first period, we had none of those."

 

All-Star Steven Stamkos logged an assist to give him 14 goals and 19 points over his last 13 games. His 29 goals lead the league and he is now tied for fourth in the NHL with 48 points.
