Blues For Victory Stewart

Hockey Betting Lines

Home wasn't kind to a tired Winnipeg club on Friday before the Christmas break as it dropped a 4-1 decision to Pittsburgh. The game was even heading into the third period before the Penguins scored three unanswered goals on the way to outshooting the Jets 39-19.

"Well, I can't say I enjoyed the game, but this is what I knew could happen," said Jets head coach Claude Noel. "I thought we looked like a team that played three games in four nights."

The Avalanche's current eight-game home winning streak is the club's single- season record since moving to Denver in 1995. Following a perfect four-game homestand, Colorado visited Minnesota last night and notched a 4-2 win for a season high-tying fifth straight victory that halted a nine-game road losing streak.

"I think we might want to try this more often," said Avs head coach Joe Sacco.

Colorado will shoot tonight for its first six-game win streak since Dec. 10-19 of last season.

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The last time the Blues visited Joe Louis Arena, they notched their best offensive performance in 17 years. With St. Louis rolling under new head coach Ken Hitchcock, the potential for another offensive showcase is there.

St. Louis owns a pair of home wins over Detroit already this year, with both victories coming since Hitchcock took over for a fired David Payne on Nov. 6. Hitchcock now makes his first trip to Joe Louis Arena as the Blues' bench boss and would love a repeat of the last performance there even if he wasn't the coach.

Chris Porter was the only Blues skater with multiple goals, while Vladimir Sobotka, Chris Stewart and Porter all had three-point nights.

"We played really hard tonight," Hitchcock said. "I loved our effort tonight and our compete level."

St. Louis, which is one point ahead of Detroit in the standings, moved to 14-3-1 at home this year compared to 7-7-3 on the road.
