Meeting Adds Chicago Against Season

Hockey Betting Lines

Philadelphia lost for the fourth time in four meetings against the Rangers this season on Sunday, as Artem Anisimov had a goal and two assists to lead the Blueshirts.

 

It's unclear if Bryzgalov or Bobrovsky will get the start tonight. Bobrovsky is 7-1 with a 2.01 goals-against average in nine career games against the Isles, while Bryzgalov is 0-1 with a 5.52 GAA in three tests versus New York.

 

The Isles, who are 11 points out of a playoff spot in the East, had won two straight before getting dealt a 4-3 shootout loss by visiting Buffalo on Saturday. Brad Boyes netted the game-winning goal in the first round of the shootout for the Sabres, who trailed 3-1 after the first period at Nassau Coliseum.

 

Isles forward John Tavares has gone without a point in two February games after being named the NHL's First Star of the Month in January. The 21-year- old has 12 points (5 goals, 7 assists) in 15 career tests against the Flyers.

 

New York has won its last two road games, but is still just 10-11-3 as the visiting team this season.

 

The 'Hawks recent struggles have dropped them into fourth place in the Central Division, two points back of third place and seven behind the first-place Red Wings. Chicago sits sixth overall in the West and captain Jonathan Toews is hoping his club can emerge from this funk with some lessons learned.

 

"We know we have to be better and we will be. We've just got to look at it in a way that going through this tough stretch here is going to make us better in the end."

 

Brent Seabrook scored the only goal on Friday and Ray Emery made 29 saves.

 

"I think stretches like this get your attention and as a team you learn from this," Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville said after the loss. "We haven't really had a challenge like this all year and it's up to us to recapture how we felt earlier in the year and know what it takes to win."

 

The Avs looked as if they would halt their losing streak on Saturday versus the visiting Canucks, holding a one-goal lead in the game's final moments and T.J. Galiardi taking aim at an empty net.

 

However, Vancouver defenseman Kevin Bieksa blocked Galiardi's potential icer and then scored an overtime-forcing goal with 34.1 seconds left in the frame. Colorado went on to drop a 3-2 decision in the shootout.

 

"I think we played a pretty solid game to be honest," said Landeskog, who set a club rookie-record with nine shots on goal. "I think we took it to these guys for the majority of the game. Jiggy [Giguere] really kept us in there. They got one late in the third, but I thought we had a lot of the momentum in overtime too, and in the shootout, it was just unfortunate that we didn't put the puck in the net."
