Canadiens Adds Coach Into Division

Hockey Betting Lines

Wisniewski, who sat out the first eight games of the regular season due to suspension, missed his fourth game in a row due to a broken left ankle that is slated to sideline him for six weeks.

 

Rick Nash scored twice in Sunday's defeat, giving him 10 goals in his past 22 games after netting just four over the first 19 contests, but Steve Mason allowed four goals in 16 shots in the opening period. Curtis Sanford made only eight saves in relief.

 

"It's hard to say," Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson said of why the club struggled under Arniel. "He did everything he could. He's a good coach, a good person. He worked very hard at it. The team was prepared and it just didn't work for him with this group."

 

Richards joined the Jackets as an assistant in June after spending the past two seasons as head coach of the Minnesota Wild. He had a record of 77-71-16 during his brief tenure in St. Paul, but the club failed to make the playoffs either season.

 

Richards' Blue Jackets head coaching debut will come in the finale of a four- game road trip. Columbus has lost five of its past seven as the guest and is 5-14-2 on the road this season.

 

Dave Bolland also lit the lamp on Sunday, but Jimmy Hayes came up empty on a penalty shot in the third period after Detroit covered the puck in the crease and Corey Crawford made 24 saves, including several right before the Red Wings notched the game-winner in OT.

 

The Blackhawks have now dropped the first two of a four-game homestand and four of their past five as the host.

 

Chicago has taken the first three of six meetings with Columbus this year by a 15-6 margin. Tonight will mark the final encounter between the clubs in Ohio, where the 'Hawks have won three of their last four trips.

 

However, with the Canadiens already heavily invested in Price, they dealt Halak to the Blues on June 16, 2010 for Lars Eller and Ian Schultz. After facing the Canadiens last year in St. Louis, Halak will finally make his return to the Bell Centre this evening.

 

Halak has gone 36-28-12 with a 2.43 GAA and .910 save percentage since joining the Blues, but has split time in net this year with Brian Elliott, who is second in the league with five shutouts this season and is also among the league leaders with a 1.62 GAA and .940 save percentage.
