Canucks try to run home win streak to eight in test with Kings
Hockey Betting Lines
03/13/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Winners of seven straight on home ice, the Vancouver Canucks begin a four-game homestand tonight versus the Los Angeles Kings at GM Place.
The Canucks haven't lost as the host since a January 31 overtime setback to Minnesota that marked their franchise-record ninth straight defeat at GM Place. However, the club has responded with the league's second-longest active home winning streak behind only New Jersey's eight-game run.
Vancouver, which is now 18-11-4 at home this year, does enter this contest off back-to-back road setbacks that ended a four-game overall win streak. The Canucks saw their win streak end with last Monday's loss in Los Angeles prior to Wednesday's 4-3 overtime defeat in Anaheim.
Alex Burrows, Ryan Kesler and Kyle Wellwood each notched a goal for the Canucks, who lost for just the fourth time in their last 16 games and still hold a one-point edge over Columbus for the fifth seed in the Western Conference. For Burrows, he netted his fifth goal in his last five games and reached the 20-goal mark for the first time in his career.
Roberto Luongo got the loss after stopping 37-of-41 shots.
The Kings have been out of action since their 3-2 win versus the Canucks on Monday. Jarret Stoll netted two power-play goals to pace Los Angeles to the win.
Denis Gauthier also tallied and Teddy Purcell recorded two assists for the Kings, who have won three games in a row and are one victory shy of their longest winning streak of the season. Jonathan Quick stopped 20 shots for the victory.
The Kings and their 67 points are five points back of a playoff spot in the West.
Los Angeles begins a stretch tonight that sees it play 12 of its final 16 games this season on the road. The Kings, who are 13-15-1 as the guest and have lost four straight away from LA, visit San Jose on Saturday before returning home to host Nashville on Monday.
However, following that test, the Kings head east to kick off a six-game road trip in Boston next Thursday.
The Kings and Canucks split their two meetings in Los Angeles this year and will play in Vancouver for the first time this season. LA has won four of the last six meetings overall as well as three of its last four in Vancouver.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
