Buffalo Sparks Penalty For Monday

Hockey Betting Lines

Reimer stopped 12 shots in the first period, 21 in the second and 16 in the third to record his third shutout of the season and sixth of his career in Saturday's blowout over the Senators.

 

"It's obviously a lot of fun," Reimer said after the shutout in Ottawa. "I wish I could take credit for it, but the guys played unbelievable tonight. Our D-men played great, boxing guys out."

 

The Maple Leafs have won two straight and three of their last four home games and are boasting a 15-8-4 record at Air Canada Centre this season.

 

The Oilers' latest triumph came Saturday against visiting Detroit, as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins netted the game-winning goal in the sixth round of the shootout to lift Edmonton to the 5-4 decision over the Red Wings at Rexall Place.

 

"I think we started out really strong and came out flying," Nugent-Hopkins said. "In the third period, we knew they were going to come out strong, we just had to weather that storm. They got a few good goals but in the end I thought it was a really good character win for us."

 

The Oilers have lost six straight on the road and will try to end that streak when they open a three-game swing tonight. Edmonton is just 6-18-2 as the guest this year compared to a 15-8-3 mark at home and the Oilers will also visit Detroit and Ottawa on this trek.

 

Edmonton defenseman Theo Peckham has missed the last two games after getting hit in the face with a puck during practice. His concussion tests came back negative and he could play this evening against the Leafs.

 

St. Paul, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Minnesota Wild signed defenseman Nate Prosser to a two-year contract extension on Monday. Prosser, 25, has posted six assists and 18 penalty minutes over 23 games with the Wild this season in close to 21 minutes per game. He has also played 19 games at the club's American Hockey League affiliate in Houston.

 

Buffalo starts a four-game homestand on Wednesday against the Bruins.

 

However, he did state on Monday that he is feeling better, but is still not sure when he will return to play.

 

"I feel like this week's been good," said Crosby. "I feel like I'm getting there. "I don't have a timeframe, I wish I did but I don't. The good news is that there is some progression, with this stuff that's always what you're looking for."
