12/23/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After a slow start to the season, Flames netminder Miikka Kiprusoff is helping his team climb up the standings. Calgary will try to rebound tonight against the Anaheim Ducks at Pengrowth Saddledome.
The Flames lost four of their first five games to begin the season, and after righting the ship with a six-game winning streak went on to lose six of their next 10 as well. However, despite the slow start Calgary enters this game just a point back of Vancouver for first place in the Northwest Division.
Kiprusoff has been one of the reasons the Flames have stayed in the hunt. He posted a 2.89 goals against average in October and wasn't much better the following month, as he recorded a 3.18 GAA in November.
He has returned to his prior form in eight starts this month, going 4-2-2 with a 2.33 GAA in eight December starts.
Kiprusoff helped the Flames get a point last time out, as he made 28 saves but was beaten just 23 seconds into overtime by the Chicago Blackhawks' Duncan Keith in a 3-2 setback. Rene Bourque had a goal and assisted on David Moss' tally for Calgary, which had won two in a row.
The Flames loss came in the opener of a five-game homestand and dropped them to 9-4-3 as the host this season. Calgary is 0-1-2 in its last three at Pengrowth Saddledome.
Kiprusoff has faced the Ducks 15 times in his career, going 8-7-0 with a 2.27 GAA.
The Ducks played their first game last night since Teemu Selanne suffered a laceration to his left quadriceps muscle that is expected to sideline him for four-to-six weeks. They visited the Vancouver Canucks and were dealt a 4-3 setback.
Bobby Ryan had a goal and two assists while Scott Niedermayer notched a goal and assisted on another for Anaheim, which fell to 1-1 on a five-game road trip and lost for the fourth time in its last five as the visiting club. Sami Pahlsson had the Ducks' other goal and Corey Perry added two helpers.
Selanne leads the NHL with 13 power-play goals, but his absence wasn't missed for at least one night after the Ducks went 2-for-5 on the man advantage last night.
Jonas Hiller, starting in place of Jean-Sebastien Giguere for a third straight game, was victimized for four goals on 26 shots. Giguere had returned to Montreal following the death of his father and was with the team in a backup capacity on Monday.
Giguere beat the Flames earlier this year with a 34-save effort and is 13-8-0 with two ties and a 2.21 GAA against them lifetime. Hiller, meanwhile, has never faced Calgary.
The Ducks have won three straight and four of their last five versus the Flames, but have lost seven of their last eight in Calgary.

In what should be an outstanding Saturday of March Madness betting action, the top four teams in the South and West Regions square off in what should be extremely close match-ups. Three of the four teams are coming off extremely close games on Thursday evening, only UCLA won semi comfortably over Pitt 64-55.
Ohio State is coming off their second game in a row where in all reality they should have lost. Of course that doesn’t matter now since the name of the game is “survive and advance” but as the tournament continues, they can’t afford to keep getting down to their opponents early. Kansas also avoided a scare by holding off a scrappy Southern Illinois squad. In the third thrilling game of the evening Memphis pulled off the minor upset (+3.5) despite being the higher seed to Texas A&M.
Although the spreads are fairly small for Saturday’s games, MySportsbook.com continue to bet against the underdogs. Despite OSU’s two scares, 86% of the “betting public” feels the Buckeyes (-1.5) have what it takes to make the Final Four. In fact, so much of the early money is on OSU that the line has already moved from -1 to -1.5. In the second game of the doubleheader, Kansas and their high-powered offense are 2 point favorites as they take on UCLA and their effective defense. About 63% of the early money thus far is once again backing the favorites. If those percentages stay that high, don’t be surprised if this line moves as well. If you like Kansas (-2) you might want to jump on it early.
Memphis vs. Ohio State
Both squads were involved in thrillers on Thursday evening and should come out fired up. OSU can ill afford to get behind early like they did versus their previous two opponents (Xavier, Tennessee). Greg Oden needs to stay out of foul trouble; the Buckeyes are a completely different team when he is on the court. Memphis definitely has the athleticism and length to match-up with OSU. Of Memphis’ five leading minute earners, the shortest of the bunch is 6’5”. Each team has a very effective defense; Memphis surrenders 62.3 PPG whereas the Buckeyes give up only 61 PPG. With those type of numbers, it isn’t surprising that Memphis covered the UNDER almost 69% of the time this season. As a favorite, OSU has covered the UNDER almost 66% of the time over the last three seasons. The major concern for Memphis which is magnifies this time of the year is their brutal foul shooting (62%). This season, OSU is 17-11 ATS versus teams with a winning record and 7-2 ATS in all tournament games. Memphis has been an extremely reliable cover in tournament play in recent years with a 23-8 ATS record over the last three seasons.
UCLA vs. Kansas
In the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader, UCLA will play in a role which they are very unfamiliar with that of the underdog. Only twice this season have they been getting points from the handicappers and both times they covered. Over the last three seasons UCLA is a reliable 23-7 ATS in this unfamiliar role. UCLA has not fared well against Big 12 opponents recently going 1-7 ATS since 1997. Giving up only 59.6 PPG, UCLA will definitely look to do what they do best: keep this game as low scoring as possible. Their defense has been especially tough during the tournament. UCLA opponents have been able to muster up only 48.7 PPG while shooting a combined 34.5% from the field. UCLA definitely has a challenge at hand with a Kansas team that is capable of putting points on the board in bunches. As a team, they average 79 PPG and shoot an impressive 49.6% from the field and 39.4% from beyond the arc. During the tournament Kansas has been “lights out” from the field having shot 56.2%.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
