Hockey Betting Lines

03/11/2010 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Johan Franzen tallied a pair of goals as Detroit flattened Minnesota, 5-1, at Joe Louis Arena.

Henrik Zetterberg added a goal and two assists and Tomas Holmstrom picked up a goal and a helper for the Red Wings, who have won five of their last seven games.

Jimmy Howard finished with 21 saves.

Andrew Ebbett notched the lone score for the Wild, who slid to their fourth straight loss and sixth in eight contests.

Josh Harding was tagged for all five goals on 30 shots in defeat.

Franzen gave the Wings a 1-0 edge just 2:25 in, then Holmstrom's point blast on the power play and Zetterberg's redirection at even strength tripled the Detroit advantage on scores 56 seconds apart midway through the first.

Ebbett made it 3-1 with 11 seconds left before intermission on a tip-in of a centering feed by Martin Havlat.

Miller's short-handed score with just over seven minutes to play in the second restored the Wings' three-goal edge, then Franzen added his second of the night with 5:17 left in regulation -- a screen shot from the right circle which used a Wild defender to mask the chance.

Game Notes

Detroit has won two of three meetings this season, with one more scheduled for Joe Louis Arena on March 26...It was Franzen's first multi-goal game of the season and first in the regular season since February 18, 2009 against Nashville.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title.
