03/10/2010 - Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mathieu Garon was strong with 36 saves to lead the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center.
Fedor Tyutin, Jakub Voracek and Antoine Vermette all recorded a goal and two assists for the Blue Jackets, who halted a five-game winless skid. Derek Dorsett and Derick Brassard each added a goal in the victory.
Lubomir Visnovsky and Ryan Getzlaf scored for the Ducks, who remained without a win (0-3-1) since the Olympic break and will continue their seven-game homestand on Friday against Nashville.
Jonas Hiller allowed three goals on 20 shots but was pulled in the second period. Curtis McElhinney, who was acquired last week from Calgary for Vesa Toskala, turned aside seven shots in relief. Ducks forward Bobby Ryan assisted on both goals.
Trailing 3-0 in the third period, the Ducks came to life with a pair of goals to make it interesting.
After Visnovsky's blazing slap shot from the slot brought Anaheim within two at the 9:11 mark, the Ducks made it 3-2 with 5:04 remaining in regulation when Getzlaf tallied. Getzlaf fought for control along the rear boards, drifted with the puck into the left circle and beat Garon with a wrister through traffic.
However, any chance for an Anaheim equalizer was essentially erased when Ducks veteran Saku Koivu was whistled for hooking with 2:31 to play. On the ensuring power play, Vermette's 21st goal -- a backhander between the pads from the top of the crease -- sealed the victory with 1:58 on the clock.
Brassard capped the scoring in the waning seconds.
The visitors grabbed a 1-0 lead at the 8:55 mark of the opening period. A shot from the right point was saved by Hiller, but the puck was loose in front. After several rebound attempts, Dorsett was finally able to poke the puck over the goal line from the top of the crease amid a scramble.
In the second period, a power-play goal pushed the Columbus edge to two. Skating 5-on-4, Voracek, from a sharp angle at the base of the left circle, found room over the short-side shoulder of Hiller with a laser wrist shot at 8:14.
Less than five minutes later, the Blue Jackets moved ahead by three goals. Tyutin's shot from the top of the left circle hit bodies in front of the net and the disc caromed directly back to Tyutin, whose momentum at that point had carried him into the lower portion of the circle. Tyutin's second attempt made it past a screened Hiller at 13:07.
Game Notes
The Ducks have dropped three straight and six of their last nine home games against Columbus, which is now 4-3-2 with interim head coach Claude Noel...The Blue Jackets played without All-Star forward Rick Nash, who left Monday's game against Los Angeles with a lower-body injury. Fellow forward Kristian Huselius also missed the game with a hand injury...Anaheim ended scoreless on seven power-play chances, while the visitors were 3-for-6 with the extra skater.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy.

Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
