Stars return home to face Williams and Kings
Hockey Betting Lines
03/12/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Stars haven't done much to further their playoff
chances since the Olympic break, but an upcoming six-game homestand for a team
that has been strong this year as the host could do the trick.
Dallas begins that residency tonight at American Airlines Center looking for
its first win of the season over the Los Angeles Kings, who will have forward
Justin Williams back in the lineup when they seek a fifth straight victory
over the Stars.
Having dropped four of five since the break, the Stars find themselves
seven points back of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western
Conference with 16 games to go. Dallas went 1-2-0 on a recent three-game road
trip, which included a big shootout win over Washington on Monday before
Wednesday's disappointing 5-3 setback to Buffalo.
The teams combined for six goals in the first period on Wednesday, with the
Stars netting three of those tallies. Jamie Benn had a goal and an assist in
the frame, while Toby Peterson and Steve Ott also scored. However, the Sabres
got the only goal of the second period and then capped the scoring with an
empty-net goal in the third.
Dallas fell to 11-17-7 on the road this year as compared to 18-8-5 at home,
where the club has won seven of its last 10.
"Things are going to be extremely tough. It's 12 points, and those are huge.
It's our season," Ott said of Dallas' upcoming six-game homestand. "If we
don't get the ship in the right direction here on our homestand, we may as
well call the season."
Marty Turco made 38 saves and Brad Richards had an assist to give him a goal
and five assists over a five-game point streak as well as three goals and 10
helpers over his last 11 contests.
Richards has four assists in four games versus the Kings this year while James
Neal has three goals in the four meetings. However, the Stars are 0-2-2 versus
the Kings this season and they have also lost six of seven and eight of the
last 10 meetings.
Los Angeles has also won three straight and five of its last six at Dallas.
The Kings come into this one having lost three of four, but they did earn a
point last time out with a 3-2 overtime setback to the Blackhawks. Dustin
Brown and Anze Kopitar scored less than two minutes apart in the second
period, but a turnover by Brad Richardson in overtime set up the Blackhawks'
winning goal.
Jonathan Quick made 40 saves for Los Angeles, which is fifth overall in the
West, two points back of Phoenix. However, Quick left the team on Thursday
after his wife went into labor with the couple's first child and will miss
tonight's game. Either backup Erik Ersberg or the recently recalled Jonathan
Bernier will start tonight.
Los Angeles will also get Williams back into the lineup much earlier than
expected. The 28-year-old has been out since suffering a broken leg on
December 26 that was expected to sideline him for up to three months. Williams
has eight goals and 16 assists in 33 games and will go right back onto the
first line.
"He's going to go right back with [Ryan] Smyth and Kopitar tomorrow, and get
him right into the heat of the battle," Kings head coach Terry Murray told his
team's Web site on Thursday. "Take advantage of a fresh player. It will be
like adding a new guy through a deal, really."
Kopitar has been red-hot as of late, as he has five goals and four assists
over a career high-tying eight-game point streak. The forward also has 14
goals and 14 helpers over his last 22 games and six goals in four contests
versus the Stars this year.
Alexander Frolov has added a pair of goals and four helpers in the season
series. He scored and set up two other goals in a 5-1 victory at Dallas when
the clubs last met on March 2.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
