Blackhawks try to end lengthy slide in Nashville
Hockey Betting Lines
02/14/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Blackhawks didn't look like a team ready to
break out of their longest slump in four years the last time they hit the ice.
Doing so against the Nashville Predators may prove difficult as well.
The Blackhawks hope to avoid a ninth setback in a row in a meeting with the
division-rival Predators.
Chicago, just two seasons removed from a Stanley Cup championship, are in the
midst of their first eight-game slide since an 0-6-2 stretch from Dec. 30-Jan.
11 during the 2007-08 season. Its current drought includes an 0-5-1 mark on a
season-long nine-game road trip.
The Blackhawks suffered their 10th straight defeat on road ice Saturday,
falling 3-0 at the Phoenix Coyotes. Mike Smith made 38 saves to shut down
Chicago, which got 24 stops from Ray Emery.
A loss tonight would give Chicago its longest losing streak since dropping
nine in a row from Jan. 4-26, 2007.
"We need something to give in and make us feel good about ourselves," said
Chicago captain Jonathan Toews.
The Blackhawks now sit at 10-14-3 on the road and have dipped into a tie for
sixth overall in the Western Conference with the Kings. Both clubs sit five
points behind the Predators.
Nashville is 2-0-1 in three meetings with Chicago this season, outscoring the
club 8-3 over consecutive wins. The Predators own three victories in their
past four encounters at home versus the Blackhawks.
The Preds have secured points in 16 of their last 20 games, going 14-4-2 in
that time, but have lost four of their past five. They suffered their third
loss in a row on Saturday, falling 4-3 at Boston in a shootout.
Pekka Rinne was peppered with 41 shots through overtime and was bested twice
in the shootout. Sergei Kostitsyn and Martin Erat came up empty on their
attempts in the tiebreaker.
"They outshot us. Probably outplayed us, too," said Rinne, who made 38 saves.
"We gave a point away.
Shea Weber, Patrick Hornqvist and Mike Fisher scored in regulation for the
Preds, who saw the Bruins' Milan Lucic force overtime on a goal with 67
seconds left in the third period.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
