Avs host Blue Jackets in battle between struggling clubs
Hockey Betting Lines
02/27/2007 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Colorado Avalanche will try to end a three-game slide
tonight, when they welcome the Columbus Blue Jackets to the Pepsi Center.
The Avalanche's latest setback came Sunday evening in Anaheim, as Scott
Niedermayer's goal with 3:23 left in the third period proved to be the game-
winner in the Ducks' 5-3 victory.
Joe Sakic scored for Colorado to extend his point streak to 12 games, but the
Avalanche lost for the fifth time in six outings (1-4-1). Mark Rycroft and
Milan Hejduk also scored for the Avalanche, while Jose Theodore stopped 36
shots.
Paul Stastny added an assist for the Avalanche to extend his point streak to
12 games, which is tied with Sakic for the longest current tear in the NHL.
Andrew Brunette has registered a point in 10 straight games for the Avs.
Colorado's Karlis Skrastins didn't play Sunday due to a knee injury, snapping
his 495 consecutive game streak. It was the longest such streak by a
defenseman in NHL history. He is questionable for tonight's contest.
Colorado is currently outside the Western Conference playoff race and is 12
points behind Calgary for the eighth and final postseason berth in the West.
Colorado's 63 points also has the club in last place in the competitive
Northwest Division.
The Avs are 17-14-3 as the host this season but won't be at home for long, as
they'll begin a five-game road trip Thursday in Chicago.
The Blue Jackets, who are well out of the playoff picture with 55 points, have
dropped four of their last five games (1-2-2). They lost Sunday to visiting
Nashville, as Alexander Radulov scored the lone shootout tally to give
the Predators the 4-3 decision.
Jody Shelley netted his first goal of the season and Ron Hainsey and Fredrik
Modin also scored for Columbus. Ty Conklin turned away 22 shots in a losing
effort.
The Blue Jackets, who begin a three-game road trip tonight, are 10-17-3 as the
visitor this season.
Colorado has won two of three meetings with the Blue Jackets this season and
is 20-2-1 (2 losses, 1 tie) all-time against Columbus. The Avalanche have
outscored the Jackets 90-32 in those 23 contests.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
