Ovechkin heads NHL's Three Stars
Hockey Betting Lines
02/08/2010 -
New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Washington Capitals forwards Alex Ovechkin and
Nicklas Backstrom, along with newly minted Maple Leaf goaltender Jean
Sebastien Giguere, have been named the NHL's 'Three Stars' for the week ending
February 7.
Ovechkin took home top honors having led the league in scoring with 10 points
during the week, including seven goals, to secure sole possession of both
categories for the season at 86 points and 42 goals.
The Russian sniper put the finishing touches on his week with a hat trick in
Washington's 5-4 overtime win against defending Stanley Cup champion
Pittsburgh on Sunday. The win was the Capitals' 14th straight, matching the
third-longest win streak in NHL history.
Giguere earned Second Star honors, and in his first week with a new club. The
former Duck was dealt by Anaheim to Toronto on January 31 for fellow netminder
Vesa Toskala and proceeded to post consecutive 30-save shutouts in his first
two games as a Maple Leaf.
Backstrom matched his teammate Ovechkin with 10 points, with two goals and
eight assists, to garner Third Star accolades for the second straight week. He
tied a career high with five points in a 6-5 win against the Rangers on
February 4 and currently holds an eight-game scoring streak.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
