Bryzgalov, Coyotes shut out Hurricanes

Hockey Betting Lines

03/13/2010 - Raleigh, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ilya Bryzgalov made 29 saves to record his NHL- leading eighth shutout, and the Phoenix Coyotes won their fourth straight game with a 4-0 rout of the Carolina Hurricanes.

Lee Stempniak and Martin Hanzal each scored a pair of goals for the Coyotes, who began a four-game road trip on a winning note. Adrian Aucoin netted a pair of assists in the victory.

Stempniak continued to provide a spark since being acquired by Phoenix from Toronto at the trade deadline. The Coyotes are 4-0-0 with him in the lineup, and Stepmniak has five goals in that span, including consecutive multi-goal contests.

Justin Peters allowed all four goals on only 20 shots in the defeat, only Carolina's third in 12 games.

Stempniak's goal four minutes into the game proved to be all Phoenix needed. He caught a loose puck by the left post after several players battled behind the net and stuffed it past Peters before the netminder located the disc.

Exactly 12 minutes after the first goal, Stempniak netted a power-play marker when he took a feed at the top of the left circle, skated to the slot and fired a wrister past Peters.

Bryzgalov made nine saves in the first, and Hanzal made it 3-0 at the 13:50 mark of the second. Shane Doan's pass toward the middle caught a stick and was deflected high into the air; Hanzal settled it right in front of the crease and fired it past Peters.

Carolina's best chance to score came early in the third on a 5-on-3 opportunity, but Bryzgalov made several spectacular glove saves to keep his whitewash intact. Hanzal's accurate one-timer to the lower right corner immediately following the successful penalty kill made it 4-0 to account for the final margin.

Game Notes

Carolina had swept the season series in 2008-09, 2-0...Phoenix finishes its schedule with 10 out of 14 games on the road...Stempniak had only 14 goals in 62 games with the Leafs this season and has a five-game point streak...Hanzal had his first multi-goal game of the season...Bryzgalov's eight shutouts are a single-season career-high. He has 16 for his career.

2007 NFL Football Betting Preview


“You play to win the game!”

Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.

The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.

The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.

Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?

Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.

New York Giants betting lines

Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.

Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.

Dallas Cowboys betting lines

Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.

The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.

Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.

Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.

Oakland Raiders betting lines

This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.

First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”

The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason. 

Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
