Hockey Betting Lines

03/12/2010 - Buffalo, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Josh Harding stopped a season-high 43 shots, as Minnesota escaped from Buffalo with a 3-2 win at HSBC Arena.

Andrew Ebbett, Andrew Brunette and Guillaume Latendresse lit the lamp for the Wild, who halted a four-game losing streak

Thomas Vanek registered both scores, and Jason Pominville assisted on each for the Sabres, whose three-game win streak was ended.

Patrick Lalime yielded three goals on 33 shots in the loss.

Vanek's power-play score put the Sabres on the board at 3:42 of the third for a 3-1 game.

Lalime was pulled for an extra skater with well over two minutes to play, and the gamble paid off when Vanek's stuffer eluded Harding with 1:58 to go.

Despite several close-calls around the Minnesota net, the Sabres could not score an equalizer.

Minnesota got on the board via the power play, as Ebbett soloed up the slot and beat Lalime with a quick wrister 3:02 into the contest.

Latendresse capitalized on Lalime's failed clear and stuck a wraparound shot in at 10:11, and the Wild led by two after one period thanks to 15 stops from Harding.

Brunette gave the visitors a 3-0 edge with 1:25 to play in the second period, and Harding backed up the tally with 12 saves.

Game Notes

Minnesota has won four of the last six meetings dating back to December, 2003...Vanek's only other multi-goal game this season occurred on October 13 against Detroit...Lalime has not recorded a victory since December 29, going 0-4-1 since then.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
