Bruins host Devils in clash between East's top teams
Hockey Betting Lines
03/22/2009 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The top two teams in the Eastern Conference will clash
today in Beantown, as the Boston Bruins welcome the New Jersey Devils for a
showdown at TD Banknorth Garden.
The Bruins leads the Northeast Division as well as the conference with 100
points, while New Jersey is tops in the Atlantic and second in the East with
97 points. Washington is just one point behind the Devils in the third slot.
Boston also became the first team in the East to clinch a playoff berth thanks
to Florida's loss to Columbus on Saturday.
New Jersey has taken two of the three encounters with the Bruins this year and
can win the season series for the third time in four campaigns with another
victory today. The Devils have taken six of eight and 11 of the last 15
overall meetings with the Bruins and have come out on top in two of their last
three stops at the Garden.
Despite its standing as the top team in the East, Boston has struggled since
the early stages of February and is just 6-9-4 in its last 19 contests. The
Bruins come into today's test having lost two straight, four of six and seven
of their last 10 games.
Boston last played on Thursday when it was able to salvage a point in an
overtime setback to visiting Los Angeles. Dustin Brown scored with 35 ticks
remaining in OT as the Kings rallied for three goals in the final 15 minutes
to take a 3-2 decision at TD Banknorth Garden.
Mark Recchi and Matt Hunwick got the goals for Boston. Tim Thomas blanked the
Kings for nearly 50 minutes before wilting under LA's 38-shot barrage in the
loss.
The Bruins are 24-6-6 as the host this year and are capping a brief two-game
homestand today. Boston won't play again until Saturday's contest in Toronto.
Meanwhile, the Devils have played very well recently, winning five of six and
nine of their last 11 games. New Jersey had a four-game winning streak halted
by Wednesday's setback at Carolina, but the club rebounded with Friday's easy
home win over Minnesota.
Martin Brodeur turned aside all 35 shots he faced to notch the 101st shutout
of his legendary career, as the Devils breezed past the Wild, 4-0, at
Prudential Center. Brodeur is now just two shy of the great Terry Sawchuk for
the league's all-time record for shutouts.
Brodeur notched the 552nd win of his career on Tuesday against Chicago to pass
Hall-of-Famer Patrick Roy for first on the all-time list. Brodeur was given a
rare night off Wednesday when New Jersey lost at Carolina.
Patrik Elias scored twice for the Devils, who have won a club-record 11
straight games on home ice.
Elias has four goals and four assists during a five-game point streak, while
Zach Parise, who had two assists in Friday's win, has recorded a point in
seven straight contests. Parise has three goals and seven helpers during his
point streak.
Today's tilt marks the first of three straight on the road for New Jersey,
which will also visit Philadelphia and Chicago during the swing. The Devils
have an excellent 21-11-2 record as the guest this year, but have lost four of
their last seven road games.
