Win Concussion Smash Salvage Over Puck

Hockey Betting Lines

"Craig was outstanding," said Ottawa coach Paul MacLean. "It would've been nice to have the win, but when we look back at this it's gonna be a pretty big point."

 

Sens forward Jesse Winchester has missed the last two games with a concussion and is expected to sit out again tonight.

 

Ottawa is 10-7-1 as the host this year and has won its last two games on home ice.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Pittsburgh Penguins will take aim at a fourth consecutive victory tonight, when they host the Carolina Hurricanes for a battle at Consol Energy Center. With recent wins over Buffalo, Chicago and Winnipeg, the Penguins are on their first three-game winning streak since posting five straight victories from Oct. 18-27. Pittsburgh has scored 15 goals over its current win streak, which has improved the Pens' record in December to 6-4.

 

"I think the guy (counting) the shots was sleeping a couple of times, he (missed) a lot," said Fleury. "Other than that, in the second though, it was quiet, sometimes kind of (slow) back there, but that's when you have to stay focused and get ready for the next shot."

 

Pittsburgh is still without superstar Sidney Crosby, who is dealing with concussion-related symptoms. Defensemen Paul Martin (leg), Zbynek Michalek (concussion) and Kris Letang (nose/concussion) are also sidelined with their own issues. Martin could return tonight and is listed as questionable.

 

The Hurricanes, who are currently 14th out of 15 teams in the Eastern Conference, have won their last two games and can match their longest winning streak of the season tonight. Carolina posted three straight wins from Oct. 12-18.

 

Monday's win over New Jersey featured a bizarre late-game sequence that ended with goaltender Cam Ward being credited with his first career goal. Ward, who became the first goaltender in Whalers/Hurricanes history to have a goal to his credit, also stopped 23 shots to record his 12th win of the year.

 

Sutter scored his seventh goal of the season, but he was denied the second multi-goal game of his career. Tuomo Ruutu and Anthony Stewart also tallied for the Hurricanes, who have won three of five.

 

Initially, the goal was credited to Sutter, after video evidence appeared to show him tipping the Kovalchuk pass ever so slightly. But upon further review after the end of the game, Ward was given the goal since he was shown to be the last Carolina player to touch the puck.

 

Ward becomes the first NHL goalie to get credited with a goal since Chris Mason did it for Nashville in 2006. He is the 10th netminder in NHL history to pull off the feat.
