Canadiens Time Name Salvage For Blackhawks

Hockey Betting Lines

Columbus was aiming for the second postseason trip in franchise history after adding center Jeff Carter and defenseman James Wisniewski this offseason, but currently sit last in the NHL with just 27 points. To make matters worse, Carter missed 10 games earlier this year with a fractured right foot before suffering a separated shoulder in Sunday's 7-4 loss at Anaheim.

 

Rick Nash scored twice in Sunday's defeat, giving him 10 goals in his past 22 games after netting just four over the first 19 contests, but Steve Mason allowed four goals in 16 shots in the opening period. Curtis Sanford made only eight saves in relief.

 

"It's hard to say," Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson said of why the club struggled under Arniel. "He did everything he could. He's a good coach, a good person. He worked very hard at it. The team was prepared and it just didn't work for him with this group."

 

"He'll bring a fresh approach and new approach and a new voice and we'll try to move it in the right direction," Howson said of Richards.

 

One thing that could work in Richards' favor is the loss of Sharp, who suffered an upper-body injury in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings. Sharp scored his 20th goal of the season before exiting and head coach Joel Quenneville said on Monday that his forward will miss 3-to-4 weeks.

 

Chicago dropped its season-high fourth game in a row and is tied with Detroit and St. Louis for first in the Central Division with 53 points each.

 

The Blackhawks have now dropped the first two of a four-game homestand and four of their past five as the host.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - There just wasn't enough room for both Jaroslav Halak and Carey Price in Montreal, leading to Halak's eventual trade to the Blues despite a run of success with the club. Halak is once again battling a teammate for playing time, but that won't stop St. Louis head coach Ken Hitchcock from giving him the start tonight in Halak's first trip back to Montreal.

 

The 26-year-old Halak was selected in the ninth round of the 2003 draft by the Canadiens and went 56-34-7 with a 2.62 goals-against average and .919 save percentage during a four-season stint with Montreal. He overtook Price for starting duties in the 2010 postseason and helped lead the eighth-seeded Habs to the conference finals.

 

"Obviously, it's great to be back in Montreal to play a game," Halak said on Monday. "I'm glad I get the start tomorrow, and hopefully it's going to be a great game for both sides."
