Canucks continue epic road trip against Blackhawks

Hockey Betting Lines

03/05/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Vancouver Canucks will aim for a third straight victory when they continue their record road trip tonight at United Center with a test against the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Canucks are 6-4-0 on a 14-game swing that began with eight road tests before the break for the Vancouver Olympics. Vancouver is 16-15-1 as the road team this season.

After tonight, Vancouver has stops in Nashville, Colorado and Phoenix before finally returning to British Columbia on March 13 to play Ottawa. That will begin a five-game homestand at GM Place, where the Canucks haven't played since January 27.

The Canucks notched an overtime victory Tuesday in Columbus and recorded an easier win the following night in Detroit. Ryan Kesler collected a pair of goals, while Daniel and Henrik Sedin each posted three assists as Vancouver downed the Red Wings, 6-3, at Joe Louis Arena.

Sami Salo, Alex Burrows, Mikael Samuelsson and Kyle Wellwood also scored for the Canucks. Roberto Luongo stopped 28-of-31 shots for the win.

The Canucks are still in a tight battle for first place in the Northwest Division and are just two points ahead of Colorado for the division's top spot.

Meanwhile, the Blackhawks have split two games since the break, losing a road decision against the New York Islanders on Tuesday and coming back with Wednesday's decisive home victory against Edmonton.

Unlike the Canucks, Chicago seems to have a tight grip on the Central Division with a 14-point lead over Nashville for first place. The Blackhawks are also second in the Western Conference with 89 points.

Jonathan Toews, Dave Bolland and Marian Hossa each collected a goal and one assist as Chicago tallied three times in the third period to subdue the Oilers, 5-2, at United Center.

Dustin Byfuglien and Niklas Hjalmarsson also lit the lamp for the Blackhawks, winners in five of their last six games.

Cristobal Huet picked up the win with a 12-save performance for Chicago. Tonight marks the second test of a four-game homestand for the Blackhawks. Chicago has an excellent 24-6-2 record in the Windy City this season.

The Canucks have taken two of three from Chicago this year and tonight marks the final regular season matchup between the clubs. Vancouver has won eight of 12 overall in the series and has taken two straight and seven of its last nine at the United Center.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
