Wings Joins Conference For Pittsburgh

Hockey Betting Lines

Tonight's test marks the last of four scheduled meetings between the Hurricanes and Flyers this year. Philadelphia won the first two encounters before Carolina earned a 4-2 road win on Nov. 21. The Flyers have taken 11 of 13 overall in the series and eight of the last nine matchups in Raleigh.

 

The 23-year-old Staal has totaled 15 goals and 21 points in 34 games this season, while Neal leads Pittsburgh with 21 goals and ranks second in points with 36 over 40 contests.

 

Pittsburgh, which is currently holding onto the last playoff seed in the East, has suffered four straight losses -- all in regulation -- on the heels of a four-game winning streak and the Pens have scored a total of five goals during the skid. This marks the first time Pittsburgh has lost four straight games in regulation since an 0-5 slide from Dec. 27, 2009-Jan. 3, 2010.

 

The Pens have lost each of their last three games by an identical 3-1 score and the latest setback came Saturday against the visiting New Jersey Devils. Martin Brodeur stopped 41 shots to frustrate Pittsburgh's depleted offense.

 

The Penguins, who are closing a three-game homestand tonight, are 11-6-2 as the host this season.

 

The Senators split a home-and-home series with Philadelphia this weekend. Ottawa dropped a 3-2 overtime decision Saturday in Philly, but rallied for a thrilling 6-4 victory on Sunday. Filip Kuba notched the game-winner with just over one minute left in regulation, as Ottawa used a four-goal third period to down the Flyers at Scotiabank Place.

 

Ottawa is 8-7-5 as the visiting team this year and is kicking off a three-game road trip tonight.

 

Both meetings between the Pens and Sens this year have been high-scoring affairs, as Pittsburgh notched a 6-3 home win on Nov. 25 and Ottawa recorded a 6-4 decision in Canada's capital on Dec. 16. Pittsburgh has taken four of six overall in this series and the Sens have dropped three straight and four of five in the Steel City.
