Bertuzzi, Howard help Detroit move to fifth spot

Hockey Betting Lines

04/09/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Todd Bertuzzi netted the shootout winner and Jimmy Howard recorded 22 saves for his third shutout of the season, as Detroit picked up a key two points for playoff positioning with a 1-0 win to close out a home-and-home series with Columbus at Nationwide Arena.

As the game moved to a shootout after 65 scoreless minutes, suddenly nobody could miss. Rick Nash deked his way to a nifty backhand tally to start things off, and Pavel Datsyuk answered with a forehand score over the right shoulder of Steve Mason.

The goaltenders settled back in to stop the next five attempts, moving into the fourth round, and Bertuzzi flipped a backhander upstairs to grab the win.

The Red Wings moved two points clear of both Nashville and Los Angeles for sole possession of the Western Conference's fifth seed. The trio had been tied with 98 points entering play Friday.

Detroit will close out its regular season Sunday in Chicago and Nashville will do the same a day earlier at home versus the Blues. The Kings have two games remaining against Edmonton and Colorado.

Mason came up with a whopping 45 saves through 65 minutes of action to post his fifth shutout of the season for Columbus, which wrapped up a disappointing season at 32-35-15 and lost five in a row going away.

Mason withstood a 19-shot Red Wing barrage in the third period, and denied Darren Helm on a penalty shot. Each team had a chance with the extra skater in overtime but came up empty.

Howard was tested with just four shots in the third period and zero in OT, while Mason was busy over the first 40 minutes with 22 saves.

Game Notes

The Red Wings reached 100 points for a ninth consecutive season to extend an NHL record...Detroit won five of the six matchups with the Blue Jackets this year...The Red Wings moved to 18-14-8 on the road this season, while Columbus ended its season 20-12-9 at home...Both teams went 0-for-4 on the power play...It was Mason's 15th shutout of his career.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams

NFL Betting

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.

We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.

Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.

Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.

Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.

NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.

The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
