NEW YORK -- Somebody has to win Monday night, when the New York Islanders host the Vancouver Canucks in a battle of skidding teams at Barclays Center.The Islanders (4-6-2) lost their third straight game Saturday night, when they blew an early two-goal lead and fell to the Edmonton Oilers, 4-3, in the shootout. The Canucks (4-7-1) extended the longest losing streak in the league Saturday night, when they dropped their eighth in a row in absorbing a 6-3 defeat at the hands of the Toronto Maple Leafs.New York and Vancouver are two of just six teams with 10 points or fewer as well as two of four teams with a losing streak as long as three games. The Detroit Red Wings have dropped five straight while the San Jose Sharks have lost three in a row.The Islanders can at least take a little solace in the narrow nature of their losses. New York has led or been tied in the third period in six of the eight defeats, including the last two.We played a little resilient and we played hard and credit to the guys, Islanders head coach Jack Capuano said Saturday night. But thats the way were going to have to play. I think our guys know if we continue to play like that and work like that and just stay the course, good things will happen.The Islanders task got tougher Sunday, when the team learned its top defenseman, Travis Hamonic, will be out four-to-six weeks with a broken right thumb suffered when he blocked a shot in the first period Saturday night.The Canucks, on the other hand, have been outscored by a whopping 28-10 during their losing streak, a stretch in which they have been shut out four times and lost by multiple goals six times.The only people that can change this slump right now is us, Canucks defenseman Troy Stecher said Saturday night. And were going to find a way to do that.The Canucks are likely to be doubly motivated Monday following a fight-filled loss to the Maple Leafs. The fracases -- including a battle between goalie Ryan Miller and Toronto left winger Matt Martin -- took place after left winger Daniel Sedin was hit in the head by Nazem Kadri. Sedin was checked for a concussion but passed the tests.I like the fact that our guys stayed together, Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins said, I think its important that the group cares about each other.Miller and Jacob Markstrom have alternated starts in each of the last five games, which puts Markstrom in line to play Monday night. Markstrom is 1-3-0 in four career appearances against the Islanders and took the loss the last time he opposed New York on March 1, when he made 21 saves as the Canucks fell, 3-2, at Rogers Arena.Jaroslav Halak has started the last two games for the Islanders, so Thomas Greiss could draw the start. Greiss is 1-2-0 in three career appearances against the Canucks and earned the win on March 1, when he stopped 31 of 33 shots.

Editors note: This column appears each week to give ESPN Chalk readers a first look at the next weeks NFL lines. The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook also puts out the advance lines on the prior Tuesday (so Week 8 lines will be posted this upcoming Tuesday), and well examine how the weekend action affected those lines from the openers on the Don Best odds screen. Well also look at which lines were the first to be bet by the professional bettors in Vegas (traditionally, those are the bettors most likely to fire away on these openers, though its not the exclusive club that it used to be). LAS VEGAS - The marquee matchup of NFL Week 7 was expected to be the New England Patriots visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the game was conspicuously off the betting board at the Westgate SuperBook on Sunday afternoon.QB Ben Roethlisberger was injured in Pittsburghs 30-15 loss at Miami in the early games on Sunday and it was later learned that he had a torn meniscus and would undergo surgery on Monday. The game stayed off the board until Monday morning, and with oddsmakers certain that Landry Jones would be starting for the Steelers, the line was posted with the Patriots favored by 7 or 7.5 points depending on the sports book. The Westgate went with New Englland -7.dddddddddddd5 (EVEN) and it stayed there most of the day on Monday before being bet down to 7 late Monday afternoon.Its interesting to note that in the advance line at the Westgate last week, the game was set at pick em. After the Steelers loss (and before the full extent of Roethisbergers injury was learned, especially since he finished the game), CG Technology actually opened Pittsburgh -1 and early bettors took New England and bet the Patriots to -2.5 before it was taken off the board.Lets take a look at the Week 7 lines and how theyve been bet into place (lines in parentheses are from the Westgate SuperBook as of the kickoff of the Monday Night Football game):Thursday: Chicago at Green Bay (-9): The advance line at the Westgate last week was Green Bay -10.5, but after the Packers lost to the Cowboys, the Westgate adjusted the line down to 8.5 (the Bears also lost, but by just 1 point after closing as 2.5-point favorites, so that didnt affect the line as much). Most other books opened the Packers between -8.5 and -10 with CG Technology on the high end, and the line has settled in between at -9 or -9.5.
