Buffalo Adds Penalty At Monday

Hockey Betting Lines

Reimer's start against the Penguins was his first since Jan. 17 and his second of the 2012 calendar year. The second-year backstop figures to get the call over Jonas Gustavsson tonight and Reimer will enter this evening's game with a shutout streak of 138 minutes, 36 seconds.

"It's obviously a lot of fun," Reimer said after the shutout in Ottawa. "I wish I could take credit for it, but the guys played unbelievable tonight. Our D-men played great, boxing guys out."

The Maple Leafs have won two straight and three of their last four home games and are boasting a 15-8-4 record at Air Canada Centre this season.

The Oilers' latest triumph came Saturday against visiting Detroit, as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins netted the game-winning goal in the sixth round of the shootout to lift Edmonton to the 5-4 decision over the Red Wings at Rexall Place.

"I think we started out really strong and came out flying," Nugent-Hopkins said. "In the third period, we knew they were going to come out strong, we just had to weather that storm. They got a few good goals but in the end I thought it was a really good character win for us."

The Oilers have lost six straight on the road and will try to end that streak when they open a three-game swing tonight. Edmonton is just 6-18-2 as the guest this year compared to a 15-8-3 mark at home and the Oilers will also visit Detroit and Ottawa on this trek.

Edmonton defenseman Theo Peckham has missed the last two games after getting hit in the face with a puck during practice. His concussion tests came back negative and he could play this evening against the Leafs.

In 28 games over parts of three seasons in the NHL, all with Minnesota, he has posted seven assists and 26 penalty minutes.

Buffalo starts a four-game homestand on Wednesday against the Bruins.

Montreal, QC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby skated with the team on Monday, but did not participate in full team practice and his status has not changed. Crosby has been out since December 5 due to concussion-like symptoms and was also diagnosed with a soft tissue injury in his neck last week.

"I feel like this week's been good," said Crosby. "I feel like I'm getting there. "I don't have a timeframe, I wish I did but I don't. The good news is that there is some progression, with this stuff that's always what you're looking for."
