Hockey Betting Lines

03/25/2010 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Stewart's shootout goal lifted the Colorado Avalanche to a 4-3 win over Los Angeles in the finale of a home-and- home series at Pepsi Center.

Colorado forward Peter Mueller and Los Angeles defenseman Jack Johnson both tallied after a scoreless first round in the shootout. Stewart then snapped a shot through the legs of Erik Ersberg before winger Ryan Smyth rang a shot off the post, sealing the Kings' fate.

Milan Hejduk and Paul Stastny each scored a power-play goal for Colorado, which snapped a three-game winless streak and remained two points ahead of eighth-place Detroit in the Western Conference standings. The Red Wings beat St. Louis earlier Wednesday.

Anderson finished with 27 saves.

Power-play goals from Drew Doughty and Alexander Frolov erased a two-goal deficit in the third period for Los Angeles, the latter marker coming with just 1:21 left in regulation on a redirection.

Ersberg stopped 14 shots in relief of starter Jonathan Quick, who was pulled after allowing three goals on 16 shots in the first 18-plus minutes of the game.

The Kings are fifth in the West with 90 points, one more than Colorado and Nashville.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
