San Jose Backs Burns For Umberger

Hockey Betting Lines

"When taking a shot on goal at this spot on the ice, players understand the danger and should expect that a good, hard, full-body check could be delivered. However, no player should expect that his head will be made the principal point of contact, whether intentionally or recklessly targeted," said department of player safety spokesman Brendan Shanahan.

 

"It is important to note that while Umberger is taking a wrist shot, the position of his head does not change significantly either simultaneous with, or just prior to, contact. The onus, therefore, is on Jacques not to make the head the principal point of contact.

 

As a repeat offender, Jacques was penalized based on the number of games in the season rather than the number of days. He will forfeit $23,780.49 of his salary, which goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund and will not be eligible to return until January 15, when the Ducks take on Vancouver.

 

He forked over nearly $18,000 in salary for the original infraction.

 

Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Kings, who came into the contest struggling putting the puck into the net, had an offensive explosion against Washington on Monday, defeating the Capitals, 5-2. Kyle Clifford, Anze Kopitar, Jack Johnson, Jarret Stoll and Justin Williams all netted goals for the Kings, who averaged a league-worst 2.02 goals a contest coming in and tallied just twice in their previous three games.

 

"It was good to score and we got it from all of the lines. We had guys around the net tonight," Kings head coach Darryl Sutter said.

 

Johansson recorded the first tally for the Capitals just 1:34 into the first period, but the Kings netted five straight goals to seize control.

 

"We had a strong start, we scored the first goal," Capitals left winger Alex Ovechkin said. "After that we stopped playing."

 

Following a Capitals turnover, Dustin Brown found an open Kopitar in the slot and he tipped it home with 34 seconds left in opening period.

 

Johnson wristed one home from the slot at the 3:01 mark following an odd-man rush, and Stoll made it 4-1 with 3:33 remaining as he chopped home a rebound.
