Blues, Preds clash in likely defensive battle
Hockey Betting Lines
02/04/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The St. Louis Blues have an All-Star goaltender who might
not even be his club's starter come playoff time.
The Nashville Predators are likely to start a netminder this evening who is on
the longest winning streak in club history.
That could make goals at a premium Saturday night in this big Central Division
matchup between the Blues and Predators in Nashville.
St. Louis has posted a 9-1-2 record since a 3-0 loss in Detroit on Dec. 31 and
sits fourth overall in the West, four back of the Red Wings for first place in
both the division and conference. Nashville, winners in 13 of its past 16, is
a point behind St. Louis.
The Blues recorded their NHL-leading 10th shutout of the season last night
with a 1-0 win over the Kings, getting the fifth of the season from Jaroslav
Halak to snap a two-game slide. The St. Louis netminder made 22 saves for his
21st career whitewash, getting all the support he would need at the 8:38 mark
of the second on Jamie Langenbrunner's goal.
"You've got to get 100 points to make the playoffs and we knew that coming
in," Langenbrunner said of the always-competitive Western Conference playoff
picture. "If you win one you feel good about it and you move on. If you lose
one you forget about it and move on. No one is going to win every game, but
you've got to make sure you give yourself a chance every night."
Halak is 12-1-3 in his last 16 starts, posting a 1.57 goals-against average
and .937 save percentage over that span. Four of his last seven starts have
resulted in shutouts.
Still, Halak has made 28 starts to Brian Elliott's 22. The latter also has
five shutouts this year and leads the NHL with a 1.69 GAA. The All-Star
selection is second in the league with a .938 save percentage and it is
unknown who will get the start tonight.
Nashville is likely to turn to Pekka Rinne, who is in the midst of a personal
10-game win streak. Rinne hasn't lost since Jan. 5 and has allowed two goals
or less in all but one contest over his current win streak. He is also 13-1-0
with a 1.77 GAA and .941 save percentage since Dec. 28 and became the third
goaltender since the start of the 2005-06 season to win more than 10 wins in a
month after going 11-1-0 in January.
After giving up four goals in a 5-4 win at Minnesota on Tuesday, head coach
Barry Trotz gave his No. 1 goalie a rest on Thursday and started backup Anders
Lindback, who allowed three goals on 27 shots in a 4-1 defeat to hosting
Philadelphia.
Ryan Suter had the lone Preds goal, his first since Nov. 23, while Craig Smith
logged an assist to give him two goals and three helpers over a five-game
point streak. Nashville, though, had a five-game win streak halted.
"Yeah, we haven't given him enough support in terms of offense," Trotz said of
Lindback bearing the brunt of an offensive drought. "Sometimes that happens.
He's had some good teams we've played him against in the [Eastern
Conference]."
The Predators have won all three meetings with the Blues so far this season,
including consecutive 2-1 shootout victories. Nashville has won nine of the
last 13 encounters overall and four of the past six played at home.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
