Avs and Oilers clash in Edmonton
Hockey Betting Lines
01/31/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A loss a week ago knocked the Colorado Avalanche out of the
playoff picture. They'll try to rebound tonight and snap the Edmonton Oilers'
six-game home point streak in this series.
The Avalanche entered the All-Star break off consecutive 3-2 losses to Anaheim
and Minnesota. Their loss to the Wild a week ago put them a point behind
Minnesota for the eighth spot in the Western Conference.
Colorado is trying to hold on until center Matt Duchene is ready to return to
action. He hasn't played since Dec. 29 because of a right knee injury that was
slated to sideline him for at least a month. Duchene has 12 goals and 24
points on the season.
Ryan O'Reilly, who missed Colorado's final game before the break due to
illness, has stepped up and leads Colorado with 14 goals, 22 assists and 36
points, while goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere continues to impress between
the pipes. Giguere was brought in to backup preseason No. 1 Semyon Varlamov,
but started Colorado's final four games before the time off and is 12-8-1 with
a 2.15 goals-against average and .921 save percentage this year compared to
Varlamov's numbers of 14-15-1 with a 3.00 GAA and .899 save percentage.
Colorado, which will return home for four straight following this game, is
also excited about what Peter Mueller may do in the second half. The forward
has three goals and an assist in 10 games after missing all of last year and a
large chunk of this season due to a concussion.
The Oilers have a lot more ground to make up as they sit 14th out of 15 teams
in the West with 41 points. That is 14 back of a postseason position.
Edmonton has lost four of five and nine of its past 11 games while recording
only six victories since the start of December. The Oilers have also been hit
hard by injuries this year and come into the second half with Ryan Nugent-
Hopkins (left shoulder), Tom Gilbert (right knee) and Cam Barker (left ankle)
still on the sideline.
Jordan Eberle has been a force for the Oilers this year and leads the club
with 18 goals, 27 assists and 45 points. He logged an assist for Team Chara in
Sunday's 12-9 win over Team Alfredsson in the All-Star Game.
Eberle had a goal and an assist, while Sam Gagner scored twice in a 4-1 win
over the Avalanche on Dec. 9 in the lone meeting between the clubs so far in
Edmonton this year. The Oilers are 4-0-2 in their past six at home versus the
Avs.
Colorado and Edmonton split a pair of encounters in Denver earlier this
season.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
