Los Angeles In Tonight Angeles

Hockey Betting Lines

"When you're struggling to get wins, you take them any way you can get them," said Stamkos, whose club had lost seven of eight coming in. "Hopefully this is the start of something good."

 

Tonight's tilt marks the start of a three-game road trip for the Lightning, who are just 5-11-2 as the visiting team this season.

 

Columbus, which is last in the NHL with 22 points, has lost three of its last four games to post a 1-2-1 record during a five-game homestand that ends tonight. Overall, the Blue Jackets are 6-9-2 as the host this season.

 

Jeff Carter lit the lamp for a fourth consecutive contest for the Blue Jackets, while Curtis Sanford turned aside 39-of-41 shots in defeat.

 

Tampa Bay has won two of three and three of its last five meetings with the Blue Jackets. Columbus has won the last two matchups on home ice and is 3-1 with a tie in the five all-time encounters at Nationwide Arena.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Kings weren't able to break out of their scoring slump on Thursday, but they still managed to snap a five-game skid. They might not get as lucky tonight against the high-powered Red Wings. Los Angeles looks to win its second straight overall and fourth in a row at Detroit, but does so against a Red Wings club that is averaging nearly four goals a game over the past month and has won nine in a row on home ice.

 

Stevens' two games as the bench boss have been much of the same, with the Kings getting shut out 3-0 at Boston in his debut on Tuesday to open a four- game road trip before squeaking out a 2-1 triumph at Columbus on Thursday.

 

Los Angeles played without defenseman Willie Mitchell due to a groin injury and he is questionable for tonight as the Kings try to extend their winning streak at Detroit. The Kings have outscored the Red Wings 10-3 in winning the past three as the guest and have taken five of the last seven encounters overall.
