Capitals, Thrashers aim to extend respective winning streaks
Hockey Betting Lines
03/16/2009 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Facing the possibility of playing again without star winger
Ilya Kovalchuk, the Thrashers might want to ask the Capitals if they can
borrow from their surplus of talented Russian skaters.
Washington's duo of Alex Ovechkin and Alexander Semin will attempt to deny
Atlanta a franchise-record sixth straight win tonight in a Southeast Division
battle at Philips Arena.
While Kovalchuk could miss a second straight game because of an upper-body
injury, the Capitals aren't short on overseas talent. Both Semin and Ovechkin
scored in the shootout of Saturday's 5-4 victory over Carolina and combined
for six points in regulation.
Semin notched a goal and three assists to give him 16 points (7 goals, 9
assists) over a nine-game point streak. Ovechkin, meanwhile, ended with an
assist in addition to netting his league-leading 49th goal. He is just one
tally shy of becoming the first Washington skater to ever post three 50-goal
seasons and has 23 goals and 45 points in 27 career games against Atlanta.
Ovechkin has scored more goals in his career against the Thrashers than any
other club and has seven goals and seven assists over the last 10 games he has
played in overall.
Mike Green also had a goal and an assist, as he leads all defenseman with 24
markers and 60 points. Jose Theodore halted 28 saves in helping Washington to
its third straight win and halt a four-game home losing streak.
The Capitals did play a second straight game on Saturday without both Donald
Brashear (knee) and Sergei Fedorov (illness) and both are questionable for
tonight.
Having ended its home skid, the Capitals bring a five-game road winning streak
into tonight's battle, its first such run since 2000-01, and begin a five-game
road trip. The club is one victory shy of the franchise-record six-game road
winning streak set in 1983-84.
The Southeast Division-leading Caps are 17-12-4 as the guest this season and
are one point back of New Jersey for the second seed in the East.
The Thrashers were able to extend their win streak to five games on Saturday
without Kovalchuk. Todd White tied the game with 3.5 seconds left in
regulation to extend his point streak to five games (2 goals, 3 assists) and
Brett Sterling notched the lone goal of the shootout in a 4-3 victory against
Buffalo.
Kovalchuk, who leads the team with 36 goals and has 21 tallies and 49 points
in 40 games versus Washington, will be re-evaluated today and is questionable.
Slava Kozlov and Marty Reasoner scored for the Thrashers, who also won five in
a row from November 2-14 and have never before won six consecutive games in
club history.
Kari Lehtonen halted 34 shots in the win for Atlanta, which is 13-18-2 at home
after having won four of its last five as the host.
The Capitals have won four of their last five versus the Thrashers but have
lost three of their last four trips to Atlanta.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
