Hockey Betting Lines

03/11/2010 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paul Stastny scored twice in the second period to support a 27-save performance by Craig Anderson, as the Colorado Avalanche blanked the Florida Panthers, 3-0, at Pepsi Center.

Anderson recorded his seventh shutout of the season, tying him with New Jersey's Martin Brodeur, Phoenix's Ilya Bryzgalov and his counterpart on Thursday night, Florida's Tomas Vokoun, for the league lead.

Matt Hendricks had the other goal, and Chris Stewart collected two assists for the Avalanche, who rebounded from Tuesday's 6-4 loss to Vancouver in which they squandered a pair of three-goal leads.

Colorado moved to within three points of the idle Canucks for first place in the Northwest Division.

Vokoun stopped 28 shots for the Panthers, who were denied a fourth straight win.

Stastny opened the scoring five minutes into the middle stanza. Vokoun knocked down Brett Clark's drive from the point, but Stastny managed to backhand the rebound.

Colorado doubled the lead on the power play. Stewart held the puck near the far post and sent a pass across the crease to Stastny, who lifted a shot over the left pad of a sliding Vokoun with 4:39 remaining in the period.

Hendricks took advantage of a poor line change by the Panthers and lit the lamp on a breakaway, sealing the victory with 3:35 left in regulation.

Game Notes

It was Anderson's 14th career shutout...Anderson, who started his 22nd straight game, spent the previous three seasons with the Panthers...Florida made its first trip to the Pepsi Center since February 6, 2007.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
