Around the rink: Sunday's NHL betting notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chicago Blackhawks at St. Louis Blues (-111, 5)

Probable starting goaltenders: Ray Emery (CHI), Brian Elliott (STL)

Blues G Brian Elliott recorded three consecutive shutouts before watching rookie Jake Allen struggle in the Blues' 4-1 loss to Columbus on Friday. The setback snapped a six-game winning streak for sixth-place St. Louis, which sits one point behind San Jose and one ahead of Minnesota in the congested Western Conference. Elliott extended his impressive shutout streak to 189 minutes, 31 seconds by leading the Blues to a 2-0 triumph over the Wild on Thursday. Chicago has won four straight and leads surging Pittsburgh by just two points in the race for the Presidents' Trophy. The under is 4-0-1 in the Blues’ last five overall.

Tampa Bay Lightning at Buffalo Sabres (-120, 5.5)

Probable starting goaltenders: Mathieu Garon (TB), Ryan Miller (BUF)

The Sabres have collected points in 11 of their last 16 games (8-5-3) heading into Sunday's home tilt against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning rallied from four goals down to forge a tie before dropping a 6-5 overtime loss at Washington on Saturday. Tampa Bay, which sits nine points behind the Rangers and 11 in back of Southeast Division-leading Washington, has allowed 22 goals in a 1-3-1 skid. The teams split a pair of 2-1 results at Tampa Bay earlier this season. The over is 4-1 in the Lightning’s last five overall.

Detroit Red Wings at Nashville Predators (+121, 5)

Probable starting goaltenders: Jimmy Howard (DET), Pekka Rinne (NSH)

Residing outside the top eight in the Western Conference, the Red Wings look to snap a three-game winless skid (0-1-2) on Sunday. The Music City representatives also have been singing sour notes of late, dropping five in a row and eight of nine (1-6-2) to fall seven points behind eighth-place Dallas. The Red Wings are 1-4 in the last five meetings.

Five NHL teams fighting for their playoff lives
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Action is heating up in the NHL and every game is likely to have playoff intensity in the final two weeks of the season.

Here are a few teams fighting for their playoff lives down the stretch:

Winnipeg Jets (21-19-2 SU, 21-21 ATS, 16-25-1 over/under, ninth in East)

Remaining schedule: vs. Tampa Bay, vs. Carolina, vs. Islanders, at Buffalo, at Washington, vs. Montreal

The Jets and Rangers both have 44 points heading into action Saturday, but New York holds the tiebreaker. Winnipeg also trails Washington by two points for the Southeast Division lead. The Jets have a favorable schedule down the stretch and the division title could up for grabs when they square off with the Capitals on April 23.

New Jersey Devils (15-16-10 SU, 19-22 ATS, 16-18-7 over/under, 10th in East)

Remaining schedule: at Toronto, at Philadelphia, vs. Florida, at Rangers, vs. Montreal, vs. Pittsburgh, at Rangers

The Devils have dropped nine straight games to fall out of playoff contention, but it’s not too late for New Jersey to turn things around. The Devils trail the Jets and Rangers by four points for the eighth and final playoff spot heading into action Saturday. New Jersey plays New York (Rangers) twice down the stretch and will need victories in both affairs to have a shot at the playoffs.

Dallas Stars (20-17-3, SU, 24-16 ATS, 21-15-4 over/under, ninth in West)

Remaining schedule: vs. San Jose, at Chicago, vs. Vancouver, at St. Louis, at Los Angeles, at San Jose, vs. Columbus, vs. Detroit

The Stars have won four straight games to catapult them into a three-way tie for ninth in the West. Dallas has found the back of the net 18 times during the win streak and is one of the best puckline bets in the league (24-16 ATS). But bettors beware: The Stars have an incredibly tough schedule down the stretch against quality opponents.

Phoenix Coyotes (18-16-7 SU, 20-21 ATS, 18-18-5 over/under, ninth in West)

Remaining schedule: vs. San Jose, at St. Louis, at Chicago, at Detroit, vs. San Jose, vs. Colorado, at Avalanche
