03/22/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The stumbling Chicago Blackhawks will try to end a five- game losing streak when they host the Los Angeles Kings in an afternoon clash today at the United Center.
With the regular season winding down, the Blackhawks have picked a terrible time for their longest losing streak of the season. Chicago once seemed to have a lock on the Western Conference's fourth seed, but is now tied with Vancouver at 85 points apiece.
Despite losing their last five games, the Blackhawks have at least been able to recorded a point in their two most recent trips to the ice. Chicago dropped an overtime decision in Columbus on Wednesday and was handed a shootout loss Friday against visiting Edmonton.
The setback to the Oilers marked the first of five straight on home ice for the Blackhawks. Chicago has lost three in a row and four of five as the host, but is 18-8-7 in the Windy City this season.
Patrick O'Sullivan scored the game-winner in the shootout to lead Edmonton to Friday's 5-4 victory over Chicago. After Jonathan Toews was stopped by Dwayne Roloson, O'Sullivan lifted the puck over Nikolai Khabibulin. Patrick Kane was then denied his stuff attempt from the left side and Ales Kotalik sealed the win with a wrister into the right corner.
Martin Havlat had a goal and an assist and Khabibulin stopped 27 shots in the setback for the Blackhawks, who have also lost seven of their last eight tests.
Chicago will be without forward Ben Eager for the next three games as he was suspended by the league for delivering a blow to the head of Edmonton's Liam Reddox on Friday. Eager is considered a repeat offender, having also earned a three-game suspension in October for swinging his stick from the bench at then-Dallas Stars forward Sean Avery in a preseason game.
Eager has tallied 10 goals and four assists, with 139 penalty minutes, in 66 games this season.
The Kings are 13th in the West, but are still only seven points out of a playoff berth. Los Angeles hasn't helped its postseason chances lately, as it has dropped four of five and eight of its last 12 games.
LA was in action Friday night at Pittsburgh and was handed a 4-1 setback by the Penguins as Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby both registered a goal and an assist.
Kings center Michal Handzus netted the lone goal of the third period -- a power-play tally -- to spoil Pittsburgh goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury's shutout bid. Jonathan Quick surrendered four goals on 26 shots in the loss for Los Angeles.
LA activated right winger Justin Williams from injured reserve Friday and he played in the game against the Penguins. Williams, who was acquired from Carolina at the trade deadline in a three-way deal with the Hurricanes and Edmonton, had not played since February 15th because of a broken hand.
The Kings are playing the third segment of a season-high six-game road trip today. Los Angeles is just 14-17-2 as the guest this year and has lost three of four and seven of its last eight road tests.
LA has won two of three matchups with Chicago this season and the clubs will complete the season series this afternoon. The Kings have taken four of six overall in the series, but have dropped two of three and four of six in the Windy City.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
