Zetterberg's hat trick lifts Red Wings past CoyotesHockey Betting Lines02/18/2007 - Glendale, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Henrik Zetterberg's first career hat trick led the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-1 win over the Phoenix Coyotes. Jason Williams also scored, while Pavel Datsyuk notched four assists and Mathieu Schneider had two helpers for the Red Wings, winners in two straight and four of six. Dominik Hasek stopped 20-of-21 shots to pick up the win. Mike Zigomanis scored the lone goal for the Coyotes, who have dropped five games in a row and six of their last seven. Mikael Tellqvist made 23 saves in the loss. Zetterberg broke a scoreless tie with 9:30 to go in the second period, as he rifled home a wrister over Tellqvist's glove while Coyotes defenseman Derek Morris was in the box on a hooking call. It would be 2-0 Detroit on a disputed goal with 1:59 to play in the frame, as Zetterberg was credited with his second of the night on a 5-on-3 power-play. Morris appeared to prevent the puck from totally crossing the goal line on a side-angle shot by the Swede, but a lengthy review determined that the disc was all the way across before being swept out. That misfortune did not dampen the home team's hopes for a comeback, and Phoenix poured 12 shots on Hasek in a spirited final 20 minutes. Zigomanis cut the deficit to 2-1, 25 seconds into the third, as he tipped home Morris' wrister from the right point, then Shane Doan had a golden chance to tie the game on a shorthanded breakaway with 5:20 left in the game, but Hasek stacked the pads and smothered the shot. Zetterberg responded to put the game away with another power-play goal, his third of the game with 4:24 to play, a beautiful top-corner shot from Datsyuk's cross-ice feed. Williams' empty-netter with 11 seconds remaining provided the final score. Game Notes Detroit sweeps the season series, 4-0, outscored Phoenix 22-6 in the process, and improved to 15-4-6 in the last 25 matchups with the Coyotes... With an assist on Zetterberg's second goal, Red Wing backliner Nicklas Lidstrom leads all NHL defensemen with 41 assists and 51 points...The Coyotes have not beaten the Wings at home since January 24, 2004 by a 5-2 count...Zetterberg has now posted back-to-back 30-goal seasons...Detroit was 3-of-6 and Phoenix scoreless in five chances on the power play.

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence Work left to do: Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8. Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday. DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ... West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule. Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.

Online Sportsbook Football BettingLaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP 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.
