Hockey Betting Lines

03/16/2010 - St. Paul, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andrew Ebbett and Martin Havlat each had a goal and an assist, as the Minnesota Wild defeated the road-weary Edmonton Oilers, 4-2, at Xcel Energy Center.

Chuck Kobasew and Antti Miettinen also lit the lamp for the Wild, who have beat the Oilers 13 straight times in the Twin Cities. Josh Harding made 34 saves for Minnesota, which has won three in a row and now sits six points behind the Red Wings for the eighth spot in the Western Conference.

Marc Pouliot and Ryan Potulny each scored for the Oilers, who have lost six straight and 17 of their last 18 overall on the road. Jeff Deslauriers turned aside 24-of-28 shots for Edmonton, which has a league-worst 49 points.

Trailing 2-1 in the third, Potulny lit the lamp with a snap shot at the 1:14 mark to deadlock the contest.

Minnesota went ahead 3-2 on Kobasew's goal at the 4:37 mark. Kyle Brodziak, who was positioned behind the net, slid a pass in front for Kobasew, whose backhander beat Deslauriers.

Havlat added an insurance goal at the 8:15 mark. However, Edmonton went on the power play with 3:33 remaining when Cal Clutterbuck was called for interference. The Oilers then pulled Deslauriers for a 6-on-4 advantage, but Minnesota's defense held strong to secure the win.

The Wild got on the board with 2:22 left in the first period. Guillaume Latendresse's one-timer from the top of the right circle was deflected in by Ebbett.

Pouliot's goal at the 8:36 mark tied things up. Jason Strudwick's shot from the right point was deflected into the back of the net by Pouliot.

Miettinen's wrister got past Deslauriers' glove with 2:04 remaining to put Minnesota ahead 2-1.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
