Hockey Betting Lines

02/01/2012 - Edmonton, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Taylor Hall's goal early in the third period proved to be the game-winner, as the Edmonton Oilers held off the Colorado Avalanche, 3-2.

Eric Belanger and Jordan Eberle also lit the lamp for the Oilers, who have won two of three since a three-game skid. Devan Dubnyk made 31 saves.

Peter Mueller and Gabriel Landeskog scored for the Avalanche, who have lost three in a row. Semyon Varlamov stopped 20-of-23 shots.

"It got better as the game went on; but I guess it was too little, too late," Landeskog said.

The Oilers drew first blood at the 4:59 mark of the first period. Eberle started to make his way around the net for a wraparound but stopped and changed directions. With Varlamov going the other way, Eberle snuck the puck inside the post.

Belanger's slapper from the top of the right circle with 2:23 left made it 2-0.

Colorado got on the board at the 1:16 mark of the middle stanza. Chuck Kobasew threw the puck on net from the bottom of the right circle and Mueller, positioned in front, redirected the disc past Dubnyk.

Hall put home a rebound at the 6:01 mark of the third to give Edmonton a 3-1 edge. Ales Hemsky's initial shot from inside the right circle was stopped by Varlamov.

"It was nice to get that one and hold on in the end. Nice to get the win," Hall said.

Landeskog put a backhander past Dubnyk at the 10:14 mark to make it a one-goal game.

But Dubnyk made 14 saves in the final period to preserve the victory.

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.
