Hockey Betting Lines

02/09/2010 - Glendale, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matthew Lombardi had a career-high five-point night with a pair of goals and three assists, as Phoenix blew out Edmonton, 6-1, for its seventh win in eight games.

Ilya Bryzgalov turned aside 33 shots for the Coyotes, who bounced back after a 4-0 loss at Dallas on Saturday. This was their fourth straight home victory.

Robert Lang had a goal and a pair of helpers, while James Vandermeer tallied a goal and an assist. Radim Vrbata, playing in his 500th career game, also lit the lamp as did Ed Jovanovski.

Dustin Penner broke the shutout late in the third period, but the Oilers lost a 10th straight road games, all in regulation. That skid sets a team record breaking the mark most recently set from February 25 - April 5, 2007.

Jeff Deslauriers made 27 saves in defeat.

Jovanovski scored midway through the opening period on a one-timer above the left circle, and it became 2-0 with 30.1 seconds left in the same stanza. Shane Doan set a no-look backhand pass behind the net to Lombardi in front, and he lifted the disc over Deslauriers.

Lombardi scored again 71 seconds into the second, and Vandermeer made it 4-0 at the 5:38 mark.

Vrbata scored on a backhand breakaway at 4:19 of the third and it went to 6-0 on Lang's ninth of the season at the 11:40 mark on a backhander in the slot.

Penner netted his 23rd of the season with 4:28 left.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
