Oilers, Ducks look to continue home success
by Betfair.com
The Chicago Blackhawks and New York Rangers will provide tough tests on Tuesday night as the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks respectively look to sustain their recent strong play.
Chicago Blackhawks (1.83) at Edmonton Oilers (1.91) (Money line inc. OT)
The Chicago Blackhawks have come out of nowhere to win five of their last six games. The team's only loss in that span came in a shootout against the Detroit Red Wings. The Blackhawks are getting superb goaltending from Cristobal Huet, who has allowed just over two goals a game in his last four starts. Chicago heads into Edmonton as a slight 1.83 road favorite.
The Oilers played one of their best games of the season in a 3-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night. Edmonton has now won four of its last five games and is also riding hot goaltending. Dwayne Roloson and Mathieu Garon are sharing time between the pipes and holding opponents to just two goals per game during this current stretch. The Oilers are 1.91 underdogs at home Tuesday.
New York Rangers (2.26) at Anaheim Ducks (1.60) (Money line inc. OT)
The New York Rangers are scratching and clawing for wins in their last nine games. They are a middling 5-4 in that span and all five victories have come in either overtime or via the shootout. Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist is finding his form again after a brief hiccup, and star forward Markus Naslund is also finding the net with two goals in his last two games. The Rangers are 2.26 road underdogs Tuesday.
The Anaheim Ducks rebounded from a shutout loss to San Jose last week with a 4-2 win against Minnesota on Sunday. The Ducks have managed to fill the net in their last three wins, scoring a combined 14 goals in those games. Anaheim has won five straight games at home. Forward Corey Perry snapped his eight-game scoreless skid with a goal Sunday. The Ducks are 1.60 home favorites Tuesday.
