Blues With ST. Hitchcock

Hockey Betting Lines

Alexander Semin scored the lone goal for the Capitals, who had won three of four. But Washington was able to extend its streak of games with at least one goal scored to 31 contests to start the 2011-12 season, the longest streak to begin a season since Washington went 31 games without being shut out to kick off 2009-10.

 

Michal Neuvirth turned aside 26-of-28 shots in defeat.

 

Less than a minute later, Johnson gave the Avalanche the lead back. Johnson's slapper from the right point beat traffic in front and got past Neuvirth.

 

Giguere and Neuvirth each made seven saves in the third period.

 

San Jose, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Patrick Marleau scored the game-winner in the third period as the San Jose Sharks took a 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers. Martin Havlat and Joe Thornton each added a goal for the Sharks, who have won two straight. Antti Niemi made 23 saves in the win.

 

Jordan Eberle and Ryan Jones each scored for the Oilers, who have dropped three straight and five of six. Nikolai Khabibulin stopped 34 shots in the loss.

 

"He made a good wrap on it and I was able to sneak in the back door and get the goal," said Marleau. "We've just been trying to simplify things and it's been working."

 

A give-and-go between Michal Handzus and Havlat saw Handzus send it back to the right for the easy tap in and a 1-0 San Jose lead 8:36 in.

 

San Jose, though, tied the game with 5:27 to play in the second when Marc- Edouard Vlasic fired a pass from the right point to the low slot where a wide open Thornton had no trouble sneaking it in.

 

The Sharks host Tampa Bay on Wednesday...Edmonton, which finished a three-game road trip with three losses in regulation, hosts Detroit on Monday...San Jose has taken three of four from Edmonton in each of the past three seasons.

 

The Blues continue to rack up points since Hitchcock relieved a fired Davis Payne on Nov. 7. They have gone 12-2-4 since the coaching switch and sit in a tie for fifth in the Western Conference, four points back of first place in the Central Division.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.

Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.

A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.

Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.

Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.

And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
