Streaking Canadiens begin road swing against Rangers
Hockey Betting Lines
02/27/2007 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Having re-discovered their winning ways, the Montreal Canadiens begin an important road trip tonight at Madison Square Garden
against a New York Rangers team in desperate need of a victory.
The Canadiens have rebounded strongly from a six-game losing streak they
endured earlier this month. Montreal has won four of five since that spell,
including last night's 5-4 triumph over rival Toronto at the Bell Centre.
Saku Koivu and Michael Ryder each had a goal and an assist to lead the Habs,
while Mike Johnson, Sheldon Souray and Tomas Plekanec also scored in the
victory. David Aebischer made a strong contribution between the pipes, as the
veteran stopped 32 shots for Montreal.
Monday's win moved the Canadiens past Carolina and into seventh place in the
Eastern Conference standings. Montreal has 72 points on the season, one more
than the defending Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes.
Souray has now notched a point in six consecutive games, having compiled three
goals and three assists during that span.
Montreal, which owns a 14-14-3 record away from home, will start up a five-
game road swing this evening.
The Rangers have been headed in the opposite direction as the Canadiens. New
York has lost its last three contests and is tied for 11th place in the East,
seven points in back of Carolina in the race for the conference's final
playoff spot.
The last two defeats have come in front of the home fans, the most recent
being a disappointing 3-2 setback to the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets on
Saturday.
New York built an early 2-0 lead on goals by Blair Betts and Jaromir Jagr, but
Columbus drew even with a pair of shorthanded tallies before Rick Nash netted
the game-winner late in the second period.
Petr Prucha assisted on Jagr's score and now has three goals and a pair of
helpers during a current five-game point streak.
Rangers forward Martin Straka was forced to leave Sunday's game with an upper
body injury. The veteran Czech, who is tied for second on the team with 65
points, is questionable to return this evening.
The Rangers will be playing the third test of a season-high six-game homestand
tonight. The club has struggled at the Garden throughout the year, however,
bringing just a 12-14-4 home mark into tonight's tilt.
New York did win the only previous meeting between these teams in 2006-07, a
4-3 triumph at the Bell Centre on January 6. Montreal won three of its four
matchups with the Rangers last season, including both encounters in Manhattan.
