        • In the Crease - Week 22
          Joe Williams



          Cup Connection

          The New York Islanders and Edmonton Oilers played in back-to-back seasons for the Stanley Cup. In 1983, the Islanders swept the Oilers in four games for their fourth consecutive championship. In 1984, Wayne Gretzky and the Glen Sather-coached Oilers had other ideas, ruining the 'One for the Thumb' pursuit which the Islanders still have never accomplished.

          These historic NHL franchises will meet in Edmonton on Thursday night. The Islanders have overachieved this season, and are smack-dab in the middle of the playoff chase. The Oilers, well, at least they have 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988 and 1990 to fall back on, as they aren't likely to be back to a Stanley Cup Finals anytime soon despite the fact they employ one of the most dynamic scorers in the game. New York enters Thursday's game as slight road favorites despite being the more superior team. The Isles will be playing in a back-to-back situation, and they're 10-1 in their past 11 playing on zero days of rest. They're also 5-1 in the past six as a favorite, and 9-2 in the past 11 aginst Western Conference teams.

          The Oilers have won just six of the past 26 meetings, and they're a dismal 2-12 in the past 14 games at home. In addition, they have dropped seven in a row against teams from the Eastern Conference, and they're 0-5 in the past five against Metropolitan Division foes. The good news, if there is any, is that Edmonton has won seven of the past eight at home against the Isles.

          Looking Ahead

          Thursday, Feb. 21

          Washington at Toronto:
          The Capitals have started to put things together after a skid before the All-Star break which culminated with a 6-3 loss in Toronto on Jan. 23. The Leafs limp home after a six-game road trip, going 3-2-1, but totaling just two goals over the past two outings. Meanwhile, the Caps have alternated wins and losses in each of the past seven games, winning in Los Angeles on Monday to wrap up a four-game road trip of their own. The Caps have won 13 of the past 19 in this series, and the favorite is 20-7 in the past 27 meetings. The 'over' is 8-2 in the past 10 meetings in Toronto, too.

          San Jose at Pittsburgh:
          We get a possible Stanley Cup Finals preview, although the Tampa Bay Lightning certainly have something to say about that. San Jose enters 5-0 in the past five road games while going 7-2 in the past nine overall. The Sharks are also 7-3 in the past 10 against teams with a winning record. The Penguins have won four of the past five, and they're 23-10 in the past 33 against Western Conference teams. While the Pens are 0-4 in the past four against teams with a winning record, Pittsburgh is 4-1 in their past five at home against San Jose.

          St. Louis at Dallas:
          The Blues hit the road for the Metroplex looking to stay hot. St. Louis has won eight in a row on the road, and they're 6-0 in the past six against teams with a losing record. They're also 7-0 in the past seven as a favorite. The Stars have been a little better, going 4-1 in the past five at home while hitting in nine of their past 13 as a home underdog. However, they're 1-5 in the past six overall while going 0-4 in the past four against teams with a winning record. It will be a test for the Blues, if they want to stay hot. St. Louis is 1-4 in the past five meetings, and the home team is 6-2 in the past eight in this series.

          Friday, Feb. 22

          Colorado at Chicago:
          The Avalanche hit the road for Chicago, and they're just 16-35 in the past 51 as a road underdog. Colorado fired out of the chute this season, but they have won just eight of their past 31 games, too, going from a team which looked championship caliber to one which could easily miss the playoffs in the Western Conference. On the flip side, the Blackhawks looked to be dead in the water, made a coaching change, and suddenly they're red hot again. They have won 10 of the past 12 overall, they're 6-1 in the past seven at home and 4-0 in the past four as a favorite. The 'over' has also been the way to go on Chicago games, cashing in eight of their past 11 against the Central Division, while going 15-5-1 in their past 21 at home.

          Winnipeg at Vegas:
          The Jets land in Vegas looking to get untracked. They're just 2-5 in the past seven road games, although they are an impressive 10-4 in the past 14 against teams with a winning record. The Golden Knights have been skidding, which is about as rare as the snow which fell in Las Vegas this week. The Knights have won just one of the psat six overall, and they're 2-5 in the past seven against winning teams. Vegas is also just 1-6 in the past seven at home. The 'under' is also 5-1-1 in the past seven meetings in this series.

          Saturday, Feb. 23

          Boston at St. Louis:
          Two of the hottest teams in the National Hockey League hook up in St. Louis in matinee action. The Blues will be looking to avenge a 5-2 loss in Beantown back on Jan. 17, as Tuukka Rask outperformed Josh Allen on that day. Even a month ago, Jordan Binnington was just bursting onto the scene and nobody knew he was going to be a game changer. The Blues won their 11th consecutive game on Tuesday, topping the Maple Leafs 3-2 in overtime. Boston won 3-2 on Wednesday in snowy Vegas (I know, it's still strange) in a shootout to fire out to a 4-0-0 record on their road trip, while picking up a seventh straight win.

          Montreal at Toronto:
          The Maple Leafs head into this one with a six-game winning streak in tow against the Canadiens, arguably their biggest rival. Three of the past six have been decided by one goal, however, and four of the past seven battles have been decided in overtime. Toronto has averaged 4.2 goals per game during the six-game winning streak against the Habs.

          Anaheim at Edmonton:
          The Ducks travel to meet the Oilers in what could only be termed the 'Disappointment Bowl'. These two teams expected so much more. While neither is out of the playoff chase in the Western Conference, they need wins like this one.

          When the Ducks and Oilers get together, it has been a tight, hard-checking and close game. In fact, eight of the past nine have been one-goal games, with six of those outings decided either in overtime or a shootout. Four straight battles in Edmonton have resulted in overtime or a shootout, and five consecutive battles in Alberta between these two teams has resulted in a one-goal game. In fact, over the past 11 meetings in this series the teams have both scored 30 goals. That's how close it has been.

          Sunday, Feb. 24

          St. Louis at Minnesota:
          The Blues have been red-hot lately, including a 4-0 win in St. Paul on Feb. 17. In a scheduling quirk these teams meet for the second consecutive Sunday. Despite that loss last week, the Wild are actually 5-1 in the past six regular season meetings. So far this season the road team is a perfect 3-0, too. Over the past 10 meetings in this series the Wild has outscored the Blues 36-23.

            • Ovechkin's milestone goal leads Capitals past Toronto 3-2
              February 21, 2019
              By The Associated Press


              TORONTO (AP) Alex Ovechkin scored the 650th goal of his career and Braden Holtby made 40 saves as the Washington Capitals defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 on Thursday night.

              Tom Wilson had a goal and an assist, and Brett Connolly also scored for Washington, which won consecutive games for the first time in two weeks. Lars Eller added two assists.

              Andreas Johnsson and John Tavares scored for Toronto. Frederik Andersen made 25 stops.

              The Leafs, who were playing at home for the first time since Feb. 6 following a season-long six-game trip that ended with a 3-2-1 record, entered 7-2-2 over their last 11, but had also dropped two straight.

              The Capitals, meanwhile, were 6-3-1 over their previous 10 after a 0-5-2 stretch that culminated with a 6-3 loss at Scotiabank Arena on Jan. 23.

              LIGHTNING 2, SABRES 1

              TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Nikita Kucherov became the fastest player to 100 points in a season since Mario Lemieux, and he and Steven Stamkos scored in the shootout to lift Tampa Bay.

              Kucherov became the league's first 100-point player this season with his 30th goal. He got there in 62 games, one more than it took Lemieux in 1996-97.

              Andrei Vasilevskiy had 29 saves and stopped both shootout attempts he faced. The Lightning have won eight straight and earned points in 12 in a row (10-0-2).

              Rasmus Dahlin scored for Buffalo, and Carter Hutton stopped 39 shots.

              Kucherov is the first player in Lightning franchise history to record multiple 100-point seasons and is the seventh player in the past 20 years with back-to-back such campaigns.

              SHARKS 4, PENGUINS 0

              PITTSBURGH (AP) - Tomas Hertl scored a pair of first-period power-play goals, Martin Jones stopped 26 shots and San Jose took advantage of sloppy play by Pittsburgh Penguins.

              Brent Burns picked up his 12th of the season, and Evander Kane added a short-handed goal for the Sharks, who beat Casey DeSmith three times in the opening 14 minutes and kept the Penguins in check the rest of the way to sweep the season series from the team that edged them in six games in the 2016 Stanley Cup Final.

              The Sharks have won eight of 10 overall and pulled within one point of Calgary for the top spot in the Pacific Division.

              DeSmith finished with 29 saves, but Pittsburgh stumbled out of the gate and never recovered to lose for just the second time in six games.

              HURRICANES 4, PANTHERS 3

              SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) - Justin Williams had two goals and an assist and Carolina rallied for two goals down to beat Florida.

              Nino Niederreiter had a goal and an assist, and Justin Faulk also scored a goal Florida, which has won seven of its last nine games. Peter Mrazek made 27 saves.

              Anders Nilsson had 27 saves for the Senators, whose 22-33-5 record is the worst in the NHL this season.

              Michael Raffl scored in the third period for the Flyers, who have dropped two straight after winning three in a row.

              Flyers goalie Carter Hart gave up three goals on nine shots before being pulled 10:33 into the game. It was the second straight game Hart was yanked. Brian Elliott stopped 29 of 31 shots in relief.

              PREDATORS 2, KINGS 1


              NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Roman Josi had a goal and an assist as the Nashville topped Los Angeles and moved atop the Central Division with its third win in four games.

              The Predators have 77 points, one more than Winnipeg (76), though the Jets have three games in hand on Nashville.

              Kyle Turris scored for Nashville, which also swept the season series with Los Angeles. Goalie Pekka Rinne made 28 saves for the win.

              Radek Faksa and Alexander Radulov put Dallas up 3-0 with goals in a 65-second span midway through the second period. Tyler Seguin also scored for the Stars, who snapped a three-game losing streak in which they were shut out twice.

                  *****************************

                  Friday’s List of 13: Random stuff with the weekend here…….

                  13) Zion Williamson supposedly has a Grade 1 sprained knee; no one is saying how long he is out for. “Day-to-day” is the official word; seemed to me Wednesday that his injury wasn’t a minor thing. Hope the young man does what is best for him; he has a lot of money sitting on the table, waiting for him to grab it this spring/summer.

                  Then there is the other side of the coin…….

                  Kenyon Martin played college ball at Cincinnati; he was the #1 pick in the 2000 NBA draft. Martin broke his leg in the C-USA tournament his senior season, a situation not unlike Williamson’s Wednesday.

                  Martin went on to earn $113,035,975 in his NBA career, so most injuries do heal.

                  12) Bucks 98, Celtics 97— Is Milwaukee the quietest 44-14 team ever?

                  11) Cavaliers 111, Suns 98— Phoenix and the Knicks both have 11 wins; they play each other March 6. Will either team win a game before then?

                  10) Pittsburgh Steelers let star RB Le’Veon Bell walk; he will be a free agent when the new NFL year starts next month. Looks like Steelers will be without Bell and Antonio Brown, which means a much different offensive look for them next fall.

                  9) Western Kentucky is getting coach Rick Stansbury back this weekend; he had back surgery last weekend and has missed the last four games.

                  8) Steve Stricker will be the captain of the American team the next time they hold the Ryder Cup; he will be the first American captain ever who hasn’t won a major tournament.

                  7) Upsets of the night in college hoop:
                  — SIU-Edwardsville (+6.5) 85, Tennessee State 84
                  — UL-Monroe (+5.5) 63, Texas State 60
                  — San Francisco (+4) 77, BYU 71

                  6) Saw an old film clip today of the great QB Sonny Jurgensen back when he was playing for the Eagles in the early 60’s; while being rushed, he throws a pass behind his back, and completes it to a running back in the left flat.

                  Apparently it was an exhibition game in 1961 against the college all-stars; back then, the NFL champs played the college all-stars in the first exhibition game the next summer. Jurgensen was a really good QB and also a bit of a character.

                  5) Statistic I never would’ve guessed; who has scored the most runs this decade? How about Ian Kinsler, with 851. I would’ve sat here for an hour and not come up with that one.

                  4) Arena Football League has expanded to six teams for this season, adding Atlantic City and Columbus, OH to the league, joining Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore and Albany.

                  3) AA Eastern League is moving to a split-season format, meaning the first/second half champs will meet in the playoffs. You wonder if the major leagues will consider something like that down the road someday, to re-boot interest in losing teams during the summer.

                  2) In case you were wondering, before the All-Star break, James Harden dribbled the ball 29,055 times, more than anyone else in the NBA.

                  1) Every time it snows here in beautiful upstate New York, I price condos in Las Vegas, but this week, it has snowed twice in Las Vegas, with the snow Wednesday night enough that there was a chance schools would be closed on Thursday. Their last school closing for snow was in 2008.

                  In case you were wondering, the city of Las Vegas owns two snow plows. Two.

                      • Blackhawks an Over bettor's dream and this weekend's NHL odds and analysis
                        Monty Andrews

                        The Chicago Blackhawks have become one of the best Over bets in the NHL – and the fireworks could fly Friday night against a Colorado Avalanche team coming off a seven-goal outburst of its own. That matchup highlights an action-packed weekend on the ice, including the latest chapter in the Canadiens-Maple Leafs rivalry and the Winnipeg Jets looking to extend their dominance over Arizona. Here are the top matchups, betting tips and trends to monitor entering what should be a fun stretch of hockey.

                        Beware the Blackhawks

                        The Chicago Blackhawks have been the most prolific team since the end of the All-Star break but will they meet their match? That's the question bettors are asking as the Blackhawks – who have averaged 4.9 goals since returning from the break – host a Colorado Avalanche team coming off an impressive 7-1 thumping of the powerhouse Winnipeg Jets. While Colorado is 19-5-2 O/U in its past 26 road games against teams with losing home records, the Blackhawks have an even more impressive Over trend going: they're 21-5-2 O/U in their last 28 games against sub-.500 teams.

                        Advantage: Maple Leafs

                        There was a time when the Toronto Maple Leafs couldn't buy a win over their long-time rivals from Montreal. But lately, it's the Canadiens who are starving for success as they visit the hated Leafs in a Saturday night showdown. Toronto has won six straight meetings in the head-to-head series, limiting Montreal to just 10 goals over that span. The Canadiens had been on the other end of the ledger for a while, winning 14 consecutive meetings prior to Toronto's recent dominance. The Leafs have also outscored the Canadiens by an eye-popping 11-4 margin in the previous three games at Scotiabank Arena.

                        Slumping Sabres

                        The Washington Capitals might be catching the Buffalo Sabres at the right time – not that they need the help. The Capitals visit KeyBank Center having won 11 of their previous 13 trips to Buffalo dating back to the latter stages of the 2014-15 – and if that weren't enough of a concern for Buffalo fans, their team is surrendering 4.0 goals per game since the All-Star break, the most of any team in the league. Offense has also been a major issue for the Sabres against the defending Stanley Cup champions, who have limited Buffalo to two or fewer goals in seven of their previous 11 meetings.

                        Jet Fuel

                        Sunday marks the latest meeting between the franchise that used to be in Winnipeg and the one that's based there now. The current version of the Jets has had its way with the former iteration in a significant way. Winnipeg has reeled off 14 victories in the previous 17 meetings with the Arizona Coyotes heading into their weekend tilt at Gila River Arena. That includes a five-game winning streak during which the Jets have piled up 23 goals while conceding just 11. The teams are averaging just under 6.5 goals per game over their previous 13 head-to-head encounters.

                        Goalie Profile: Ben Bishop, Dallas Stars

                        The Stars are clinging to a Western Conference wild card spot as the calendar drifts toward the end of February – but unlike previous seasons, they have their goaltending to thank for even being in the playoff hunt. Bishop has been one of the most underappreciated goaltenders in the league this season, posting a 19-12-2 record with three shutouts while ranking fifth among qualified netminders in goals-against average (2.30) and tied for fifth in save percentage (.924). He's a major reason why the Stars are a respectable 17-16-3 SU in games in which they're outshot.

                        Injury Update: F Nazem Kadri, Toronto Maple Leafs

                        The Maple Leafs' forward depth will take a hit, at least in the short term, after Kadri suffered a concussion in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the St. Louis Blues. Kadri was ruled out for Thursday's game against the Capitals, and it isn't known whether he will be available over the weekend. The 28-year-old had been struggling of late with two goals and an assists through 10 February games, but the Maple Leafs have been solid despite his slump, having gone 6-2-2 SU for the month. That said, Toronto is an incredible 19-3-1 SU in 22 games in which Kadri has recorded at least one point this season.

                        Hat Trick Trends

                        The Anaheim Ducks have garnered plenty of attention for their woeful scoring and lack of defense since the break – but there's a team right on their heels in both regards. The Minnesota Wild are averaging the second-fewest goals per game in the second half (2.20), while their average goal differential of -1.50 is also second-worst in the league.

                        At the other end of the spectrum, two teams have stood out as dominant forces since the unofficial start of the second half of the season. The St. Louis Blues have the strongest average goal differential in the NHL over that stretch at +2.30, while the Tampa Bay Lightning – the odds-on favorite to win the Stanley Cup – are close behind at +2.09.

                        If you're looking for a sure thing on the totals side, taking the Stars to go Under on the road might be your best path to victory – at least, if past trends continue. Dallas enters the weekend having gone an incredible 5-20-5 O/U away from American Airlines Center so far this season, making it by far the most profitable road Under play in the league.

                            • Jackets add Duchene, then blank Sens 3-0
                              February 22, 2019
                              By The Associated Press


                              OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) Sergei Bobrovsky made 22 saves and Matt Duchene's first game with the Columbus Blue Jackets was a 3-0 win over his former team, the Ottawa Senators, on Friday night.

                              Duchene, traded by Ottawa to Columbus hours earlier, was held pointless. Josh Anderson, Cam Atkinson and Oliver Bjorkstrand scored for the Blue Jackets.

                              Craig Anderson made 37 saves for the Senators, who were shut out for the second straight game and have lost three straight. Ottawa has gone 125 minutes, 17 seconds, since its last goal.

                              With the NHL trade deadline approaching Monday, Mark Stone and Ryan Dzingel were scratched again as the struggling Senators move forward with a rebuild.

                              JETS 6, GOLDEN KNIGHTS 3

                              LAS VEGAS (AP) - Patrik Laine scored twice and Connor Hellebuyck made 31 saves to lead Winnipeg over Vegas.

                              The Central Division-leading Jets entered 2-4-2 in their previous eight games but rebounded from an embarrassing 7-1 loss at Colorado on Wednesday to improve to 12-3-2 against Pacific Division opponents this season. The Jets are 22-4-4 in their last 30 games versus the Pacific Division since last season.

                              Nikolaj Ehlers, Kyle Connor, Adam Lowry and Andrew Copp also scored for Winnipeg. Blake Wheeler and Bryan Little each had two assists.

                              The victory was Paul Maurice's 685th as an NHL coach. He passed Pat Quinn for eighth on the career list.

                              Pierre Edouard Bellemare, Shea Theodore and Jonathan Marchessault scored for Vegas. Marc-Andre Fleury made 23 saves.

                              Fleury has lost five in a row and eight of his past 10 starts, allowing 24 goals over his last six games.

                              The Golden Knights are 3-9-1 in the past month. They have just one win in their last eight home games (1-6-1).

                              WILD 3, RED WINGS 2

                              DETROIT (AP) - Luke Kunin and Jordan Greenway scored in the first period, and Minnesota went on to beat Detroit.

                              Eric Staal added a goal in the second for the Wild, who are 3-6-3 in their last 12 games but occupy the final playoff spot in the Western Conference after sweeping back-to-back road games against the Rangers and Red Wings.

                              Tyler Bertuzzi and Anthony Mantha scored for Detroit.

                              AVALANCHE 5, BLACKHAWKS 3

                              CHICAGO (AP) - J.T. Compher scored his second goal of the game on a breakaway to snap a tie with 5:22 left, and Colorado topped Chicago for its third straight victory.

                              Carl Soderberg also had two goals, including a short-handed empty-netter, and Gabriel Landeskog scored his 32nd of the season early in the third. The Avalanche got 41 saves from Semyon Varlamov.

                              Patrick Kane scored his 39th goal to extend his point streak to 20 games and goal-scoring run to five straight. Dylan Strome and Alex DeBrincat also scored for the Blackhawks. Jonathan Toews and Erik Gustafssson each had two assists.

                              Collin Delia made 26 saves as Chicago lost for just the third time in 13 games. Kane has 17 goals and 26 assists during his point streak.

                              Colorado is one point behind Minnesota for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference.

                              FLAMES 2, DUCKS 1

                              CALGARY, Alberta (AP) - Andrew Mangiapane scored the go-ahead goal with 3:29 left and Calgary edged Anaheim for its fourth straight victory.

                              The rookie left wing tried to pass the puck across to Garnet Hathaway on a 2-on-1. Instead it hit Ducks defenseman Jaycob Megna and came right back to Mangiapane, who ripped a shot over the shoulder of goalie Ryan Miller.

                              TJ Brodie also scored for Calgary, which moved three points ahead of San Jose atop the Pacific Division. The Flames lead the Western Conference standings as well.

                              Making his fifth consecutive start for the first time this season, Mike Smith had 25 saves to improve to 18-11-2.

                              Derek Grant scored for Anaheim, which dropped to 1-1-0 on a four-game road trip. The Ducks had won three of their first four under interim coach Bob Murray.
