Halak, Canadiens edge Blue Jackets
Hockey Betting Lines
02/19/2007 -
Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jaroslav Halak made 31 saves in his NHL debut
to guide the Montreal Canadiens to a 3-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets at
Nationwide Arena.
Saku Koivu, Michael Ryder and Francis Bouillon all scored for the Canadiens,
who snapped a six-game losing streak. Koivu and Ryder also added primary
assists in the win.
Halak was called into action after Cristobal Huet suffered a hamstring tear in
Montreal's 5-2 loss at New Jersey on Wednesday. Huet was expected to undergo
surgery on Sunday, and will be out indefinitely.
Nikolai Zherdev and Gilbert Brule both had goals in the third period for
Columbus, which has dropped six of its last eight contests. Pascal Leclaire
made 25 stops in a losing effort.
Montreal erupted for three goals in the second period to assume control.
The first goal of the game came 18 seconds into the stanza, as Ryder took a
feed from Koivu along the left side of the net and snuck a shot past Leclaire
for the power-play marker.
The Canadiens broke out on an odd-man rush moments later, with Ryder
barreling into the zone before deeking past the lone defender. With the
attention squarely on him, Ryder dished the puck to Koivu, who tucked the puck
home from the doorstep.
Bouillon's wrister from the point with 11:23 left in the second made it
through traffic and into the back of the net to make it a three-goal game.
Zherdev got his club on the board 8:05 into the third, and Brule beat Halak
with a wrist shot from the left circle just over three minutes later to make
it 3-2.
The Blue Jackets applied heavy pressure in the closing seconds with their
goalie pulled, but came away empty.
Game Notes
Columbus went 2-4 on its franchise-long six-game homestand. The Blue Jackets
are 14-14-3 at Nationwide Arena for the campaign...This clash marked the first
encounter between these teams since they fought to a 1-1 tie in Montreal on
November 11, 2003. The Canadiens have only visited Columbus one other time
previously, back on October 12, 2001. The Habs came away with a 3-1 decision.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
