NHL Tuesday Night 3 Game Pack – Young Guns in Action

December 29, 2009

NHL Tuesday Preview

Three of hockey’s youngest and most exciting teams take the ice Tuesday. NHL betting features the Penguins, Canucks, and Blackhawks, with each team presenting wagering value to hockey fans.

Pittsburgh Penguins at Buffalo Sabres

The Penguins were upset by the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday, losing 4-3 on a heart-breaking goal in the final minute and a half of the third period. That loss was Pittsburgh’s second in the last three games, dropping the team behind the New Jersey Devils in the Atlantic Division standings.

The Penguins gave up four goals in each of those defeats and were outshot by a total of 104 to 95 in the past three games. Pittsburgh will get some help on the blueline Tuesday when defenseman Mark Eaton is expected to return. Eaton sat out those three games with an injured left knee.

Chicago Blackhawks at Dallas Stars

Chicago tightened its grasp on the Central Division by winning its third straight game Sunday. The Blackhawks downed the Nashville Predators 5-4, giving the team its 10th win of December. Goaltender Cristobal Huet has been between the posts for the majority of those games, improving his numbers with a 2.01 GAA and a save percentage of .915. Huet has helped under bettors cash in this year, posting a 9-18-1 over/under mark.

Chicago came up big in the crunch Sunday. After trailing Nashville 2-1 heading into the third period, the Blackhawks erupted for four goals including two from forward John Madden and a game-winning goal from Patrick Kane with under a minute remaining.

Vancouver Canucks at Phoenix Coyotes

The Canucks made up some ground in the Northwest Division by taking a 5-1 win over the Calgary Flames on Sunday. That was Vancouver’s third straight victory and seventh in the past 10 games. Goaltender Roberto Luongo has been at the top of his game during this stretch. He has given up just one goal in each of the last three games.

The Canucks’ offense has provided solid goal support during this span. Vancouver has scored a total of 13 goals in the past three victories, getting two from Daniel Sedin, three from Henrik Sedin, and three from Mason Raymond – all of his coming in the win over the Flames.
