Flyers halt 10-game slide with win against Lightning
Hockey Betting Lines
12/29/2006 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Simon Gagne scored twice and Robert Esche made a career-high 42 saves, as the Philadelphia Flyers halted their franchise- record losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning at St. Pete Times Forum.
Esche was making his first start since November 15 because of a groin injury. His return was timely, as Antero Niittymaki did not suit up because of a slight hip strain.
Sami Kapanen and Alexei Zhitnik also scored while Peter Forsberg had three assists for the Flyers, who had dropped their last 10 games.
Martin St. Louis, Ruslan Fedotenko and Filip Kuba each had a goal for Tampa Bay, which has lost two in a row. Johan Holmqvist stopped 22 shots in defeat.
Zhitnik netted his first goal as a Flyer 4:01 into the contest to give his team the early lead. With Philadelphia on the power play, Zhitnik took a feed from Forsberg in the left circle and released a wrister that found room between Holmqvist and the near-side post.
Tampa evened the contest midway through the opening stanza, as St. Louis cashed in on a 5-on-3 power play with an easy goal from the doorstep.
The Flyers reclaimed the advantage with 3:19 left in the first, though, as Gagne one-timed a Knuble offering from the left circle that beat Holmqvist.
Gagne lit the lamp 9:30 into the second stanza as well to make it a 3-1 game, and Kapanen struck with a breakaway marker in the waning seconds of the middle period to push the lead to three goals. Jeff Carter set up the Kapanen goal with a nice outlet pass, allowing the right winger to break into the zone unimpeded before wristing a shot past Holmqvist with 18 ticks to play.
Kuba's one-timer from the high slot 1:18 into the third brought Tampa within two, and Fedotenko scored on a rebound putback with 5:58 remaining to put the pressure on the road team.
Esche stood tall from there to preserve the win, as the Flyers were outshot 15-6 in the third period.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
