Calgary Kopitar Wrap Salvage On Washington

Hockey Betting Lines

Calgary, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Calgary Flames made a surprise acquisition on Thursday, obtaining the services of forward Mike Cammalleri from the Montreal Canadiens. "Mike Cammalleri is a dynamic player who enjoyed great success playing in Calgary," stated Flames general manager Jay Feaster. "We believe Cammalleri will help our offensive production, solidify a second scoring line, bolster our power play, and bring another strong veteran voice to our room. We are confident that a return to Calgary will be good for Mike and good for our continued pursuit of a playoff berth."

Cammalleri, who enjoyed a career year in Calgary three seasons ago with 39 goals and 82 points in 81 games, struggled to nine goals and 22 points in 37 games this year. Coming into play on Thursday, Montreal placed last in the Northeast Division with 39 points.

The 29-year-old publicly expressed his frustration with the plight of his former club on Wednesday following a 3-0 home loss against St. Louis the night before, questioning their collective will. He clarified those comments prior to Thursday's contest.

"There are a lot of young players who have joined our team in the last year who are relatively small. We felt that if we wanted to improve the club, we needed to be bigger up front," said Habs general manager Pierre Gauthier. "We felt since the season started that was one of the things needed to improve."

Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Loui Eriksson scored in the third round of the shootout to lift the Dallas Stars over the Los Angeles Kings, 5-4, at Staples Center. The Kings' Trevor Lewis then had a chance to keep the shootout going, but his backhander hit the outside of the net to give Los Angeles its fourth loss in seven games.

Kari Lehtonen stopped 37-of-41 shots in Dallas' third win in four games.

Two Stars' goal within a minute of each other in the first period gave Dallas a 2-0 lead in the first intermission.

Eriksson struck first with a wrister from the slot that beat Quick to the glove side at the 14:04 mark of the opening frame, and Nystrom tallied 51 seconds later when he cleaned up his own rebound out in front of the net.

Los Angeles then took its first lead of the game in the third period with two straight power play goals.

But Dallas knotted the game up at the 14:35 mark of the third after a double minor to the Kings' Mike Richards after Kopitar took a big hit in the corner and had to be helped off the ice.

Los Angeles killed off the first penalty but early in the second Eriksson threw a puck out front from the right side of the net that was knocked past Quick off the stick of Kings defenseman Willie Mitchell, forcing overtime.
