Bolts nip playoff-bound Sens in shootout
Hockey Betting Lines
04/08/2010 -
Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Teddy Purcell scored the lone goal in the
shootout, lifting the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators.
Purcell was Tampa Bay's third shooter and used a forehand-to-backhand move and
lifted the puck over Ottawa goaltender Brian Elliott's left pad. The game
ended after Mike Fisher's attempt at an equalizer was no good.
Steven Stamkos and Martin St. Louis tallied a goal and an assist for the
Lightning, who had lost four of five. Mike Smith stopped 35 shots and then all
three shootout chances to notch the victory.
Jason Spezza had a goal and an assist for the Senators, who are guaranteed the
fifth seed in the East after Pittsburgh beat the Islanders on Thursday.
Ottawa's opponent in the first round will be either New Jersey or Pittsburgh
-- whichever team does not win the Atlantic Division.
Elliott made 26 saves in defeat.
Trailing by three midway through the game, the Senators rallied to tie the
score.
Nick Foligno got Ottawa on the board with the first of the team's three power-
play goals at 12:44, and Spezza brought the visitors within one while on the
man advantage with his 23rd goal of the year at 18:42.
Fisher completed the comeback 4:16 into the third with another power-play
score. Spezza held the disc at the center point and dished down low to
Daniel Alfredsson, who passed across the ice for Fisher, who one-timed the
puck into the net.
Ottawa had another power play moments later but couldn't convert, and neither
team had any major chances in overtime.
St. Louis opened the scoring 8:01 into the game on a backhander from in close
that beat Elliott on the short side, and Purcell's power-play marker with 28
seconds left in the opening period pushed Tampa Bay's lead to 2-0.
On another man advantage 3:33 into the second, Stamkos made it 3-0 with his
48th of the year. St. Louis faked a slapshot from the right circle and slid
the puck to Stamkos on the left, and Stamkos fired the disc into a wide-open
net.
Game Notes
Stamkos is tied with Washington's Alex Ovechkin for second place in goals
scored...Ottawa finished its season 18-21-2 on the road and will conclude its
regular season Saturday at home versus Buffalo...The teams split the four-game
season series...The teams combined for 62 penalty minutes.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
