Los Angeles Sparks Goals Against Lightning

Hockey Betting Lines

"When you're struggling to get wins, you take them any way you can get them," said Stamkos, whose club had lost seven of eight coming in. "Hopefully this is the start of something good."

 

Tom Pyatt, Ryan Malone and Nate Thompson each scored in the second period to give the Lightning a 4-2 lead, only to have Rene Bourque and Olli Jokinen score in the third period to salvage a point for Calgary. Mathieu Garon earned the win for Tampa with a 23-save effort.

 

The Blue Jackets last played on Thursday, when they were dealt a 2-1 regulation loss by the Los Angeles Kings. Dustin Brown scored the go-ahead goal near the midway mark of the third period to lift LA to the victory.

 

Carter has seven goals in 20 games in his first season with the Blue Jackets. The former Philadelphia Flyer has scored 14 times in 24 career games against the Lightning.

 

Blue Jackets forward Derek Dorsett could play tonight after sitting out the last two games with a lower body injury.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Kings weren't able to break out of their scoring slump on Thursday, but they still managed to snap a five-game skid. They might not get as lucky tonight against the high-powered Red Wings. Los Angeles looks to win its second straight overall and fourth in a row at Detroit, but does so against a Red Wings club that is averaging nearly four goals a game over the past month and has won nine in a row on home ice.

 

Both goals came in the third period and were scored by Dustin Brown and Davis Drewiske, while Jonathan Quick made 24 saves.

 

"The status doesn't change; it still feels like a win," Stevens said. "It was just a big win for our team considering the slide we've been on here. I just thought the guys played extremely hard tonight."

 

Detroit, though, claimed a 4-1 win at Los Angeles in the first of four meetings between the teams this year, getting a pair of goals from Pavel Datsyuk and 23 saves by Jimmy Howard. They have also been unbeatable at home, winning nine straight since their last loss at Joe Louis Arena on Nov. 3.

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.

Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.

Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1.
