11/03/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Montreal Canadiens will aim for their sixth win in eight games when they welcome the Atlanta Thrashers for this evening's clash at Bell Centre.
The Canadiens had a mediocre 7-7-0 record in October, but they closed the month by winning five of their last seven contests. Montreal's success this year has depended greatly on where the club is playing, as the Habs are 5-2-0 at home and just 2-5-0 as the guest. Tonight's test is the finale of a brief two-game homestand for the Canadiens.
Montreal earned a close win over a visiting rival on Saturday night, as the Habs edged the Toronto Maple Leafs in a shootout despite blowing a two-goal lead in the third period. Mike Cammalleri notched the winning score in the shootout phase to help lift the Canadiens to the 5-4 decision.
Cammalleri began the shootout by wristing a shot just under the crossbar. Lee Stempniak failed for Toronto, then Scott Gomez put the Habs up by two after a shot in a similar place as Cammalleri's. Tomas Kaberle's last-ditch effort for the Leafs was stopped to end the contest.
"I didn't want to tell Gomez where to shoot, cause that gets into a guy's head and messes with his plan," Cammalleri admitted. "I told him that Toskala backed in on my shot, and then he went and did it like I did."
Glen Metropolit, Guillaume Latendresse, Hal Gill and Roman Hamrlik notched a goal apiece for the Canadiens, who had dropped their previous two contests. Jaroslav Halak made 26 stops to post his fifth win of the season.
The Canadiens played their last game without Matt D'Agostini and the winger will miss tonight's game as well. D'Agostini suffered a concussion after getting elbowed in the head Friday by Chicago's Andrew Ladd and it's uncertain how much time he will miss.
The Thrashers, meanwhile, will try to keep heading in the right direction after ending a four-game slide their last time on the ice. Atlanta notched a victory Saturday in Ottawa, giving the Thrashers their first victory since winning in Buffalo on October 17.
Ondrej Pavelec needed to make 50 saves in Atlanta's recent win as the Thrashers pulled out a 3-1 decision at Scotiabank Place.
Rich Peverley had a goal and an assist while Zach Bogosian and Maxim Afinogenov each lit the lamp for the Thrashers.
"It was a tough game but I felt good out there tonight, especially after that first shot I faced," said Pavelec. "It was nice to help the team snap that four-game losing skid."
Pavelec is 4-3-1 on the season with a 2.60 goals-against average and is expected to get the start again tonight.
The Thrashers posted their first road win of the year on Saturday and are closing a two-game swing tonight.
Montreal hosted the Thrashers on October 20 and notched a shootout victory over Atlanta. The Habs have taken two straight and five of seven overall in the series and Atlanta has dropped four in a row and six of seven in Montreal.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
