Nashville Season Host Smash Against Backstrom

Hockey Betting Lines

Vrbata owns 14 goals in his last 22 games after scoring only once in his first nine contests.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The fist-place Minnesota Wild will try to avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season when they host the lowly New York Islanders for this evening's clash at Xcel Energy Center. The Wild, who are leading the Northwest Division and are tied for the top spot in the Western Conference with 44 points, dropped consecutive games on back- to-back nights this week.

 

Matt Cullen, Mikko Koivu and Kyle Brodziak all had goals for the Wild, who haven't dropped three in a row since April 2-7 of last season.

 

Niklas Backstrom stopped 28 shots in the loss, while Koivu suffered a leg injury and will miss tonight's game. Koivu -- Minnesota's captain -- has recorded a point in six straight games and is leading the Wild with 28 points on the year. Wild forward Casey Wellman is questionable for tonight after sitting out Wednesday's game with an injured wrist.

 

The Islanders are last in the Eastern Conference with 24 points and enter tonight on a four-game losing streak. New York is also just 3-6-3 as the visiting team this year and is kicking off a three-game road trip tonight.

 

Kyle Okposo and Michael Grabner scored for the Islanders, while Kevin Poulin stopped 26 shots in defeat.

 

Isles forward Brian Rolston and defenseman Steve Staios will both miss tonight's game with concussions.

 

New York posted a 2-1 home win over the Wild on Oct. 10 and has won two straight in this series after losing the previous five encounters. Minnesota has won three straight and five of the six all-time meetings in St. Paul.

 

Meanwhile, Nashville is on its longest winning streak of the year and tonight the Predators will aim for their first five-game tear since posting six consecutive wins from March 17-26 of last season.
