Hockey Betting Lines

St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Pietrangelo was credited with the game- winner, as the Blues pulled out a 6-4 win over the lowly Blue Jackets at Scottrade Center. Pietrangelo, Alexander Steen and Jason Arnott all scored in the third period for St. Louis, which has earned points in six straight games and improved to 13-2-4 under Ken Hitchcock.

 

Steve Mason gave up five goals on 33 shots to take the loss, the Blue Jackets' fifth in six games.

 

Columbus' Derek MacKenzie scored on a rebound with 7:54 remaining in the opening period, but goals by Kevin Shattenkirk and Oshie gave the Blues the lead heading to the second.

 

While on the power play with time winding down, Mark Letestu's wrister from between the circles found the back of the net with 1.3 seconds showing.

 

Game Notes

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Despite three straight losses, including back-to-back shootout defeats, the Minnesota Wild are still sitting comfortably atop the Northwest Division standings. The Vancouver Canucks are right on Minnesota's tail and will try to add to the Wild's misery when the two division inhabitants collide tonight at Rogers Arena. Minnesota is five points (45) ahead of Vancouver for the division lead and has the second-most points in the NHL behind Chicago (46).

 

Minnesota is winless in its last three games since ripping off seven consecutive victories and suffered a 2-1 shootout loss versus the New York Islanders on Saturday at home. Cal Clutterbuck scored in the third period to send the game into overtime and Niklas Backstrom made 35 saves for the Wild, who have lost three straight for the first time since April 2-7, 2010.

 

Wild forwards Mikko Koivu (leg) and Casey Wellman (wrist) missed the game and are questionable for tonight. Center Pierre-Marc Bouchard (nose/lip) is also questionable and goaltender Josh Harding (head/neck) is expected to be available for this evening's game.

 

Vancouver just went 3-1-1 on a five-game road trip and is back home for a four-game residency versus the Wild, Red Wings, Flames and Oilers. The Canucks avoided a third straight loss and won for the 10th time in 13 tries with Saturday's 5-3 triumph at Toronto.

 

"We played good against them, but they stayed in the game and we were lucky to put it away later," said Sedin, who has four goals in his last five games.

 

Minnesota and Vancouver have split a pair of meetings this season, with each team holding serve as the host, but the Canucks have won five of the previous seven matchups between the two clubs. The Wild are winless in eight straight games at Rogers Arena.
