Hockey Betting Lines

02/22/2012 - Glendale, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mikkel Boedker scored the winner in the final round of the shootout as the Phoenix Coyotes took a 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.

Dustin Brown had tied the shootout in the second round when he buried his shot past Mike Smith, but Boedker got it back when he faked to the backhand and shoved it in.

Jack Johnson then missed the net on his shot to give the Coyotes the win.

Radim Vrbata had two goals and an assist while Shane Doan also scored two for the Coyotes, who have won three straight and eight of nine. Smith made 25 saves in the win.

"This one felt really good tonight," said Doan. "We're on kind of a roll here, but to rally the way we did tonight, it's nice."

Drew Doughty, Justin Williams, Brown and Andrei Loktionov all scored for the Kings, who have lost five of their last six games. Jonathan Quick also stopped 25 shots.

The Kings held a 3-0 lead after 14:44, but the Coyotes' power play, which went 3-for-7 in the game, scored twice in the first 5:26 of the second period to get the team back into the game.

The first goal came just 50 seconds in as Martin Hanzal sent a pass on the rush from the left side to the right where Vrbata tapped it in.

Less than five minutes later, it was a 3-2 game on Doan's one-timer off a bouncing pass from Hanzal at the right circle.

The Kings got one back at the 11:51 mark of the second on the power play thanks to Williams' 12th of the season, but Phoenix made it a one-goal game going into the third when Doan cleaned up a rebound at the left side with 2:53 left in the second.

A match penalty to Kyle Clifford gave the Coyotes a five-minute power play with 6:13 to play and they tied the game with 2:27 left as Vrbata's heavy wrister from the low left circle snuck underneath the crossbar.

Doughty got the Kings on the board 6:18 into the game when his big shot from the high slot beat Smith cleanly.

With 7:28 to play in the first Loktionov's turnaround shot from the right side snuck past Smith and it was a 3-0 game 2:12 later when a slap shot from Willie Mitchell at the left point was tipped in by Brown.

Game Notes

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
