Hockey Betting Lines

03/16/2009 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur, Calgary center Olli Jokinen and Pittsburgh center Sidney Crosby were named as the NHL's three stars for the week ending March 15.

Brodeur is coming off a historic week, in which he tied Patrick Roy's all-time record for goaltender wins of 551. He accomplished the feat in the Devils' 3-1 victory Saturday over Montreal, which capped a 3-0-0 week for the four-time Vezina Trophy winner. In addition to the three wins, Brodeur posted a 1.67 goals-against average and .943 save percentage.

Meanwhile, Jokinen continued his strong play since Calgary acquired him at the trade deadline. He led the NHL in scoring last week, notching six goals and two assists. Jokinen tallied most of his points with a three-goal, two-assist performance Saturday in an 8-6 loss to Toronto.

Crosby recorded two goals and six assists in four games, as the Penguins went 2-0-2 and improved to fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings. Three of his assists came in Sunday's 6-4 win over the East-leading Boston Bruins.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
