Habs hope to stay hot against Oilers
Hockey Betting Lines
03/11/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Montreal Canadiens continue their push for a postseason
berth when the surging club continues its current homestand with tonight's
bout against the Edmonton Oilers from the Bell Centre.
Montreal has won its last three games and is 4-1-0 since returning from the
Olympic break. That outstanding stretch has put the Canadiens into seventh
place in the Eastern Conference standings at the moment, two behind
Philadelphia for the No. 6 spot and two ahead of rival Boston in the pecking
order.
The Habs continued their strong play with Tuesday's 5-3 triumph over Tampa Bay
in the opener of this three-game residency. Mathieu Darche scored twice and
Scott Gomez recorded a goal and two assists to lead the offense, while
Jaroslav Halak made 28 saves in a solid showing between the pipes.
"It's a big win for us after playing four games on the road," Darche said
afterward. "The two goals were extra nice for me."
Gomez has had a big part in Montreal's recent spark, as the veteran centerman
has notched five goals and 10 assists over his last 11 games.
The Canadiens can match their longest winning streak of the season with a
victory over the rebuilding Oilers, who enter tonight's clash with an NHL-low
48 points and are a dismal 8-21-2 on the road for the season. Edmonton has
dropped 13 of its last 14 tests as the guest.
The Oilers had began a string of three straight home outings with back-to-back
wins over Minnesota and New Jersey, but were handed a 4-1 loss by Ottawa on
Tuesday in the finale of the stand. The Senators scored three times in the
third period to break open a tie game.
Goaltender Jeff Deslauriers compiled 35 saves for Edmonton, which was outshot
by a 39-19 margin for the night. Fernando Pisani netted the lone Oilers goal
early in the second period.
"J.D. played great to keep us in it," Edmonton center Sam Gagner said of
Deslauriers. "If we're not disciplined, it's tough to bring it back. We have
to try and get better."
The Oilers may be without one of their leading scorers for this evening's
matchup after forward Patrick O'Sullivan left Tuesday's loss after being
slashed on his left hand in the opening period. The 25-year-old wing, who has
posted 10 goals and 21 assists in 65 games this season, is considered
questionable to dress tonight.
O'Sullivan had a goal in the Oilers' 3-2 verdict over the Canadiens in
Edmonton back on October 10, the team's second win in its last three
encounters with the Habs. Montreal has taken two straight and four of the last
five meetings between the clubs held at the Bell Centre, however.

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.
NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
