Blackhawks double up lowly Oilers
Hockey Betting Lines
01/27/2010 -
Edmonton, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jonathan Toews scored inside the first minute
of the game and Chicago never looked back, as the Blackhawks received balanced
scoring and 22 saves from Cristobal Huet to gain a 4-2 win over the lowly
Edmonton Oilers at Rexall Place.
Troy Brouwer, Dustin Byfuglien and Marian Hossa also scored for the
Blackhawks, who have captured five of their last seven games overall. Chicago
will close the month of January and its current season-long eight-game road
trip with games at San Jose and Carolina. Patrick Kane added two assists in
the win.
Fernando Pisani and Ryan Potulny scored for the Oilers, who remained winless
thus far in the calendar year and are 0-9-2 in their last 11 games overall.
Jeff Deslauriers allowed four goals on 37 shots in the loss.
Toews' 18th goal of the season only 44 seconds into the game gave the
Blackhawks the early lead. Toews streaked down the left-wing side and, from
the circle, rifled home a wrist shot that beat Deslauriers between the pads.
The Blackhawks took control of the contest with three goals in the second
period.
At the 5:50 mark of the middle stanza, the visitors grabbed a two-goal lead
via Brouwer's 15th goal. Kane maneuvered his way around the right side of the
offensive zone with the puck. From along the rear boards near the right post,
Kane sent a backhand pass into the right side of the slot for a successful
one-timer by Brouwer.
Midway through the frame, Chicago increased its lead to 3-0. Kris Versteeg
held control behind the goal line and passed to the left point for a one-
timer by Duncan Keith. The disc was deflected by Byfuglien from the low slot
on its way to the net and the redirection fooled Deslauriers.
Hossa's power-play marker at the 13:53 mark created a four-goal cushion.
Edmonton finally reached the scoreboard with 39.4 seconds to go before the
second intermission. A scramble in front led to a swat at the loose puck from
the crease area by Ethan Moreau. The disc drifted toward the goal line before
Pisani pushed it in while fighting for position with Huet in the crease.
Potulny's 11th goal at 5:44 of the final stanza capped the scoring. A turnover
by Niklas Hjalmarsson near his own goal line led to Patrick O'Sullivan gaining
control of the puck. O'Sullivan, from the left circle, backhanded a pass to
Potulny, whose wrister lit the lamp.
