Blue Jackets Leads ST. Against Hitchcock

Hockey Betting Lines

Alexander Semin scored the lone goal for the Capitals, who had won three of four. But Washington was able to extend its streak of games with at least one goal scored to 31 contests to start the 2011-12 season, the longest streak to begin a season since Washington went 31 games without being shut out to kick off 2009-10.

 

McLeod gave Colorado a 1-0 lead just 2:49 into the game. A Capitals player and McLeod battled for the puck along the boards near the blue line. McLeod managed to flip the puck on net and beat a fooled Neuvirth.

 

Washington tied the game at the 13:09 mark of the middle stanza. Semin made a nice move to get by a Colorado player at the blue line before beating Giguere with a shot from the right circle.

 

Giguere and Neuvirth each made seven saves in the third period.

 

Colorado has won three of the last four meetings...The Avs started a four-game homestand on Saturday...Colorado has won five in a row at the Pepsi Center...Washington went 0-for-4 on the power play, while Colorado went 0- for-2 on the man advantage.

 

Jordan Eberle and Ryan Jones each scored for the Oilers, who have dropped three straight and five of six. Nikolai Khabibulin stopped 34 shots in the loss.

 

Niemi made nine saves, including a couple of stops on an Edmonton power play halfway through the frame, to give the team the win.

 

A give-and-go between Michal Handzus and Havlat saw Handzus send it back to the right for the easy tap in and a 1-0 San Jose lead 8:36 in.

 

Skating shorthanded, the Oilers took a 2-1 lead 5:28 into the second as Jones picked off an errant pass in the neutral zone and buried his breakaway chance for his 10th goal of the year.

 

The Sharks host Tampa Bay on Wednesday...Edmonton, which finished a three-game road trip with three losses in regulation, hosts Detroit on Monday...San Jose has taken three of four from Edmonton in each of the past three seasons.

 

The Blues continue to rack up points since Hitchcock relieved a fired Davis Payne on Nov. 7. They have gone 12-2-4 since the coaching switch and sit in a tie for fifth in the Western Conference, four points back of first place in the Central Division.
