Blackhawks visit Devils in matchup of playoff-bound clubsHockey Betting Lines04/02/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of playoff-bound clubs from opposite conferences will meet tonight in Newark when the New Jersey Devils host the Chicago Blackhawks at Prudential Center. The Devils have already clinched a spot in the playoffs, but are still locked in a battle for the Atlantic Division title. New Jersey enters tonight just one point behind idle Pittsburgh for first place in the division and third in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the Blackhawks can move closer to clinching the Central Division crown with two points tonight. Chicago is five points ahead of Nashville and six in front of Detroit. A victory tonight would eliminate Nashville from contention for the crown, but not Detroit. The Blackhawks haven't won a division title since claiming the Norris Division in the spring of 1993. Chicago is also three points behind San Jose for the top seed in the West. The Sharks play tonight in Minnesota. The Blackhawks ended a three-game slide Wednesday, posting a decisive win in Minnesota. Tomas Kopecky scored twice and Antti Niemi posted his seventh shutout of the season, lifting the Blackhawks to the 4-0 win over the Wild at Xcel Energy Center. Niemi stopped 21 shots for Chicago and could get another start tonight. Ben Eager and Jonathan Toews also tallied for the Blackhawks, who won for the first time in Minnesota since December 28, 2008. "I don't think we want to worry about a turning point," said Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook. "I think we just want to continue to play the same way we've been playing the last two games. I thought we played well. We played hard. We battled and I think we just have to continue to do that and work at that." Despite posting a solid 20-14-4 mark as the guest this year, the Blackhawks have dropped six of their last eight road games. This evening's tilt marks the end of a three-game road trip for Chicago. The Devils enter tonight on a two-game slide and they have dropped three of four and five of their last seven contests. New Jersey did record a point Tuesday in a 1-0 home overtime loss to Boston. Patrice Bergeron's goal with 18.3 seconds left in the extra session was the difference for the Bruins. With time winding down in the extra session, Mark Stuart gained control of a loose puck in the slot and unloaded a shot from the right circle. The puck hit Mark Recchi in front and slid to Bergeron, who tucked it into the open net. Martin Brodeur stopped 33 shots in defeat for the Devils, who were dealt their second 1-0 loss in six games. "It's definitely disappointing. It doesn't feel good to lose, but we have to battle through this because it's like this during the playoffs," Brodeur said. "We didn't play a great hockey game but came out of it with a point." New Jersey has struggled on home ice lately, losing two straight and three of its last four at the Rock. The Devils still boast an impressive 25-10-3 home record this season. The Blackhawks posted a 5-1 home victory over New Jersey on Dec. 31, giving Chicago two straight wins in the series after the Devils were 10-0 with a pair of ties in the previous 12 encounters. Chicago is still 0-7 with a tie in its last eight trips to the Garden State. The Blackhawks last won in New Jersey on Dec. 30, 1997, when the Devils played in East Rutherford at what is now known as the Izod Center.
