Bertuzzi's OT goal lifts Flames over WildHockey Betting Lines12/17/2008 - St. Paul, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Todd Bertuzzi's goal with 1:12 left in overtime, his first in 20 games, sent Calgary past Minnesota, 3-2, at the Xcel Energy Center. On the game-winner, Daymond Langkow dove inside the Wild blueline at the left point to keep a loose puck in the zone. The disc slid all the way to the open Bertuzzi in the slot and he lifted a backhander high and inside the right post to give Calgary the win. Bertuzzi's drought extended back to November 2 at Anaheim, the club for which he played last season. Langkow and Craig Conroy tallied in regulation for the Flames, who have won two in a row. "We've been playing well on the road as of late," Bertuzzi said. "We've shored things up in all three zones. It's a good way to go heading back home and nice to get points in the division." Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 25 shots for his 18th win of the season. Andrew Brunette had a goal and one assist for the Wild, who have lost six consecutive games and fell to 1-6-1 in December. Marian Gaborik, in his first game back since missing two months with a hip injury, scored the tying goal late in regulation and added a helper. Niklas Backstrom allowed three goals on 30 shots for his fifth defeat in six starts. Calgary picked up the game's first goal with 7:03 left the second period. Langkow carried down the left wing near the goal line and dished into the slot, where the puck caromed off a Minnesota player and into the net. Brunette answered for Minnesota less than a minute later, but Conroy lifted a wrister over Backstrom's glove at 16:25 for the Flames' go-ahead tally. Gaborik forged a 2-2 deadlock with 4:43 left in regulation, left alone in the slot to slam home Brunette's centering feed. "We're in a little bit of a rut here, having trouble putting 60 minutes together," noted Brunette. "It's killing us right now." Game Notes Calgary won six of eight meetings a year ago...Gaborik's only other goal this season came on October 14 in Atlanta...The Flames begin a five-game homestand by hosting the Blackhawks on Friday, while the Wild host the Islanders also on Friday.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich. The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
