Hockey Betting Lines

Vancouver hits the road for three games in California starting in San Jose on Wednesday...Edmonton continues its seven-game trek in Minnesota on Thursday...Vancouver has won two of three from Edmonton this season...Edmonton was 2-for-7 on the power play while Vancouver was 0-for-4.

 

"Tonight we had a lot of shots," Brown said. "If we keep shooting the puck, they'll eventually go in and they did tonight."

 

Raffi Torres scored a pair and Daymond Langkow added the third goal for the Coyotes, who have lost back-to-back contests.

 

With the Kings leading 3-2, the difference-maker came at 7:06 of the third period when Brown accepted the puck on the right wing just inside the offensive blue line, cruised to the circle and fired a wrister that just squeezed through the pads of LaBarbara.

 

"It was nice to get the win, Kings head coach Darryl Sutter said. "We had a good first period, we weren't very good in the second, but we got it back in the third."

 

Los Angeles opened the scoring at 4:09 of the first period when Scuderi, stationed at the right point, took a spectacular cross-ice pass from Drew Doughty and slapped it past LaBarbara to give his team the 1-0 lead.

 

Phoenix found another tying goal seven minutes into the second period when Patrick O'Sullivan hit Torres with a home run pass from deep in the defense zone all the way to the offensive blue line and the big forward broke in on goal and slid it through the five-hole of Quick to make it 2-2.

 

Game Notes

 

The Kings improved to 9-0-0 when scoring three-plus goals in a game, and are 12-2-3 when scoring the first goal of the game...Phoenix failed to convert on both of its power play opportunities, while Los Angeles failed on all three of its power play chances...The Kings are 8-3-3 vs. Pacific Division teams this season.

 

"Every game means so much and you want to take care of your home games," said Pavelski. "We're going to have a bunch on the road soon so these home games are important to win, we didn't do that tonight."

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.
