Canucks end record road trip in Phoenix
Hockey Betting Lines
03/10/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The longest road trip in NHL history will come to an end
tonight when the Vancouver Canucks visit the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com
Arena.
The Canucks are playing their 14th straight road game this evening, having
last played in Vancouver on January 27 -- nearly two weeks before the start of
the Winter Olympics in British Columbia.
Vancouver has a solid 8-5-0 record so far on the epic swing and had a decent
18-16-1 mark as the guest this year. The Canucks, who will kick off a five-
game homestand Saturday against Ottawa, have played much better at GM Place,
posting a 23-7-1 record on home ice this season.
The Canucks beat Colorado on Tuesday night, extending their lead atop the
Northwest Division to four points over the Avalanche. Mikael Samuelsson
recorded his first career hat trick and Jannik Hansen scored a controversial
goal late in the third period to help Vancouver rally to beat the Avalanche,
6-4, at the Pepsi Center.
Samuelsson had a four-point night, and all three of Samuelsson's tallies came
in the second period, helping the Canucks win for the fourth time in five
games. Vancouver trailed 3-0 after the first period and was down 4-1 in the
second period.
"I wish we didn't have to come back like this," Samuelsson said. "It takes the
energy away from you. You have to play the game for 60 minutes and we never
stopped. That's the good thing. We know we can do it. We got a couple of
comebacks early in the season, so that helps us confidence wise."
Hansen's game-winner came as he skated through the crease and deflected the
puck away from goaltender Craig Anderson and the disc then trickled into the
net.
Daniel Sedin had a goal and two assists, while Roberto Luongo made 23 saves in
the win.
Ryan Kesler notched a pair of assists to push his point streak to 10 games.
Only Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos, who is riding a club-record 17-game
point streak, has a longer current stretch in the NHL.
Meanwhile, the Coyotes will shoot for a third straight victory tonight, when
they cap a five-game homestand. Phoenix is 24-10-2 as the host this year and
will begin a four-game tour of the Southeast Division with Saturday's stop in
Carolina.
The Coyotes haven't played since Saturday when they posted an impressive
victory over Anaheim. Ilya Bryzgalov stopped 32 shots for his seventh shutout
of the season to help Phoenix post a 4-0 win over the Ducks.
Wojtek Wolski had a goal and an assist while Petr Prucha, Vernon Fiddler and
Keith Yandle each lit the lamp for the Coyotes, who had lost three straight
prior to winning back-to-back outings.
"That's the best game we've played in a long time," said Phoenix head coach
Dave Tippet. "We looked like a well-oiled machine out there. There's still
work to be done but I like the way we competed tonight."
The win was Bryzgalov's 34th of the season, setting a franchise record. The
previous mark of 33 was shared by Sean Burke, Bob Essensa and Brian Hayward.
This evening's game pits two of the Western Conference's highest-seeded teams
against each other. Phoenix is currently fourth in the conference with 83
points, while Vancouver is third in the West with 84.
Phoenix has a tough road ahead if it wants to climb higher than the fourth
seed as San Jose is 10 points ahead of the Coyotes for the Pacific Division
lead.
The Coyotes and Canucks have split two meetings this year with each club
winning on home ice. Phoenix has won three of five overall in the series,
while Vancouver has lost two straight and three of its last four games in the
desert.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
