Canadiens invite struggling Bruins to Montreal
Hockey Betting Lines
02/07/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Bruins will try to avoid tying the longest
losing streak in franchise history when they visit the rival Montreal Canadiens for today's Northeast Division clash at Bell Centre.
The Bruins have gone the last 10 games without a win, posting an 0-6-4 record
since their last victory on January 14 in San Jose. Boston hasn't dropped 11
in a row since losing that many during a franchise-record slide from December
3, 1924-January 5, 1925.
Boston's cold streak has dropped the club into a tie for 11th place in the
Eastern Conference, but the Bruins are still just two points away from the
East's final playoff spot.
The Bruins picked up a point in their latest defeat, as they lost in a
shootout Saturday afternoon against visiting Vancouver. Pavol Demitra scored
with 4:42 left in regulation to tie the game, then registered the lone goal of
the shootout, as the Canucks skated to a 3-2 decision at TD Garden.
Zdeno Chara and Michael Ryder scored for Boston, which is a brutal 1-9-4 since
posting a 4-1 win at Ottawa on January 5. Tuukka Rask turned aside 29-of-31
shots in the loss.
Boston has managed just two goals or fewer in nine straight games and has just
13 tallies over that span.
Today marks the start of a four-game road trip for Boston, which is 10-10-5 as
the visiting team this year.
Montreal, meanwhile, has won its last three games and is currently sixth in
the East with 62 points -- five points more than Boston.
The Canadiens earned a victory over the defending Stanley Cup champions on
Saturday, as Brian Gionta recorded two goals and one assist to lift Montreal
to the 5-3 win over the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins.
Tomas Plekanec had a goal and two helpers for the Canadiens, who have won
three in a row for the first time since tying a season-high with four straight
victories from December 19-26.
Scott Gomez and Mathieu Darche also tallied while Jaroslav Halak stopped 18
shots for the win.
Canadiens defenseman Marc-Andre Bergeron missed Saturday's game with a lower-
body injury and is questionable for this afternoon's test.
Montreal, which is playing the middle portion of a three-game homestand today,
is 14-11-4 as the host this year. The Canadiens will complete the residency
Wednesday night against Washington.
The Canadiens have won all three meetings with the Bruins this year and posted
a 3-2 shootout win in Boston last Thursday. Montreal has taken 15 of 20
overall in the series and the Bruins have dropped nine of their last 11 games
at Bell Centre.
