Maple Leafs Adds Philadelphia On Jets

Hockey Betting Lines

"It was a fun game for fans to watch, that's for sure," said Miller. "Lots of good chances and lots of scoring. It was a good hockey game and I'm glad we came out on top."

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Vancouver Canucks probably couldn't have picked a better spot to close out their five-game road trip. The Canucks look to secure their ninth straight victory over the Maple Leafs this evening as the two clubs clash in Toronto.

 

Vancouver picked up wins over Montreal and Ottawa to begin its trek, but has since dropped a shootout decision at Columbus and Thursday's 4-3 setback in Carolina. That has dropped the Canucks' road record to 10-7-1 on the season.

 

Vancouver held a two-goal lead over Carolina in the second period on Thursday following goals by Kevin Bieksa and Mason Raymond, but the Hurricanes countered with four in a row until Alexandre Burrows pulled the Canucks to within one with 11:20 to play.

 

While Sedin became the ninth Swedish-born player to reach 700 career points, twin brother Daniel missed the game due to back spasms and is questionable for this contest. Minus one half of the Sedin brothers, the Canucks have lost two straight for the first time since Nov. 3-4 after winning nine of 10.

 

Toronto was in action last night and dropped a 5-4 decision in Buffalo. Nikolai Kulemin converted the Maple Leafs' first successful penalty shot since 2006 and Dion Phaneuf had a goal before receiving a five-minute major and ejection for boarding in the second period.

 

The Maple Leafs now return home for three straight.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - With his future in the NHL uncertain beyond this season, it is fortunate for Ducks' forward Teemu Selanne that Anaheim's lone meeting with the new Jets franchise this year takes place in Winnipeg. In a game that Selanne said he marked on his calendar as soon as the 2011-12 schedule was made public, the 41-year-old returns tonight for the first time in nearly 16 years to the city where his decorated career began.

 

The Finland native's tenure with the Jets lasted only three-plus seasons, however, as he played his final game with them on Feb. 4, 1996 before getting dealt to the Ducks three days later along with Marc Chouinard and a fourth- round pick in the 1996 draft in exchange for Chad Kilger, Oleg Tverdovsky and a third-round pick in 1996. The Jets then relocated to Phoenix at the end of that season.
