02/12/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The suddenly-surging Columbus Blue Jackets will try to claim a season-high fourth victory in a row in this evening's matchup against the Vancouver Canucks, who continue their epic road trip at Nationwide Arena.
The Blue Jackets have posted their fourth three-game win streak of the season and haven't lost since replacing former head coach Ken Hitchcock with Claude Noel on an interim basis last week. Columbus is outscoring its opponents 9-1 over its win streak, winning each of the last two games by shutout.
Steve Mason has been in net for all three wins, stopping 90-of-91 shots faced. He has shut out Buffalo and San Jose in back-to-back contests after leading Columbus to a 2-1 victory over Dallas in Noel's debut on February 4.
Mason made 28 saves in blanking the Sabres on Saturday, then turned aside all 40 shots he faced in Wednesday's 3-0 triumph over the Sharks. Mason hasn't allowed a goal in 120 minutes and 47 seconds and extended his franchise record by notching his 14th career shutout.
"I thought Mase was great," said Noel of his netminder. "I didn't think he had to be great for the whole 60 minutes, but he was really good when he had to and he made some marvelous saves. He's one of the reasons why we won the game."
Mason, last year's top rookie, is 16-18-6 with a 3.06 goals-against average this season after going 33-20-7 with a 2.29 GAA and 10 shutouts in 2008-09.
Rick Nash notched his team-leading 26th goal and 55th point in the win over the Sharks, while Jakub Voracek halted a 26-game goal drought. Antoine Vermette also scored for the Blue Jackets, who are perfect on a six-game homestand that wraps after the Olympic break. Columbus hosts Chicago on Sunday before welcoming Vancouver back to Nationwide Arena on March 2.
Mason has had his ups and downs with the Canucks this year. He made 40 saves in a 5-3 victory at Vancouver on October 5, but then halted just 11-of-17 shots in a 7-3 road setback on January 5, getting pulled in the second period. Alexandre Burrows had a hat trick for the Canucks, while Henrik Sedin had a goal and two assists and Roberto Luongo made 30 saves.
The loss was just the Blue Jackets' second in their last eight games versus the Canucks, and they have won three straight and four of their last five as the host against Vancouver.
The Canucks are 3-3-0 on a 14-game road trip that has two games remaining before the Olympic break. Following tonight's test, Vancouver visits Minnesota on Sunday before resuming the trek with six road games following the Olympics.
Vancouver has won nine of its last 12 games overall after last night's 3-0 blanking of Florida. Luongo made 31 saves for his fourth career shutout and 51st of his career.
Burrows notched his team-leading 26th goal, Ryan Kesler also lit the lamp and Jannik Hansen had a big goal with the Canucks short-handed late in the second period.
"They tried to dump the puck in and it took a couple of bad bounces on the ice and suddenly their four guys are going one way and I'm going the other way with the puck," Hansen told Vancouver's Web site. "Then it's a matter of putting the puck where you want it and I was fortunate enough that it went in."
The Canucks are tied with the Colorado Avalanche for first place in the Northwest Division with 74 points and improved to 13-14-1 on the road this season.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
