Anderson, Avs shut out Oilers for third time this season

Hockey Betting Lines

02/07/2010 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Craig Anderson needed to make only 20 stops to record his sixth shutout of the season, and the Colorado Avalanche notched a 3-0 win over the Edmonton Oilers at the Pepsi Center.

Out of Anderson's six shutouts this season, three have come against the Oilers. Wojtek Wolski, Ryan Wilson and Brandon Yip each scored for the Avalanche, who had lost four of their last five following a six-game win streak.

Jeff Deslauriers was able to stop 39-of-41 shots in defeat for the Oilers, who have lost their last nine on the road. Ethan Moreau had a team-high five shots in defeat.

Deslauriers survived a 14-shot attack in the first period unscathed, but the Avs finally broke the scoreless tie in the second.

After a Colorado shot hit the goalpost, Wolski put the team in front moments later. Matt Duchene skated down toward the right circle and left the puck for Wolski, whose hard shot caromed off Deslauriers and trickled just past the goal-line at 9:33.

Anderson was able to stop four shots in the first and eight in the second, as the Avs held a 1-0 lead going into the third period.

Edmonton had a brief 5-on-3 during two overlapping penalties late in the third period but couldn't convert, and Wilson essentially put the game away with his third goal of the season at 17:06 for Colorado.

Yip's empty-net tally came with 30 seconds left to account for the final margin.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
