Hockey Betting Lines

St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Pietrangelo was credited with the game- winner, as the Blues pulled out a 6-4 win over the lowly Blue Jackets at Scottrade Center. Pietrangelo, Alexander Steen and Jason Arnott all scored in the third period for St. Louis, which has earned points in six straight games and improved to 13-2-4 under Ken Hitchcock.

 

Steve Mason gave up five goals on 33 shots to take the loss, the Blue Jackets' fifth in six games.

 

Columbus' Derek MacKenzie scored on a rebound with 7:54 remaining in the opening period, but goals by Kevin Shattenkirk and Oshie gave the Blues the lead heading to the second.

 

While on the power play with time winding down, Mark Letestu's wrister from between the circles found the back of the net with 1.3 seconds showing.

 

Game Notes

 

Hitchcock was the coach of Columbus from 2006-10...The Blues have won five straight against the Blue Jackets and have lost just twice in their last 14 at home versus their Central Division rival...Tyutin recorded three assists.

 

"We didn't have the spark that we needed tonight," Minnesota's Matt Cullen said after the game.

 

Wild forwards Mikko Koivu (leg) and Casey Wellman (wrist) missed the game and are questionable for tonight. Center Pierre-Marc Bouchard (nose/lip) is also questionable and goaltender Josh Harding (head/neck) is expected to be available for this evening's game.

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.
