Sharks continue homestand with battle against Predators
Hockey Betting Lines
03/11/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Having rallied in the third period in each of its last two
victories, the San Jose Sharks wrap their season series with the Nashville Predators this evening at HP Pavilion.
Even though it is getting later in the season, the Sharks have been able to
finish strong in their last two games. Dany Heatley and Manny Malhotra scored
in the third period of a 3-2 win over Montreal last Thursday before Heatley
and Joe Pavelski lit the lamp in the final frame of Saturday's 2-1 triumph
against Columbus.
Evgeni Nabokov made 21 saves for the Sharks, who are 2-1-0 on a five-game
homestand and have won seven of their last 10 as host.
"I think the offense is going, but we're just running into some hot goalies in
this league," said Heatley, who has scored in back-to-back contests after
going five games without a tally. "Especially down the stretch here, we're
going to face hot goalies every team we play. The good things are we're
creating a lot and getting a lot of chances."
The Sharks now find themselves tied with the Chicago Blackhawks for the most
points in the Western Conference with 93, though they have a game in hand.
Both clubs trail the Washington Capitals by six points for the most in the
NHL.
While San Jose has needed to rally in its last two games, Nashville comes in
off a great defensive effort that made an early lead stand up. Ryan Suter and
Colin Wilson both scored first-period goals Tuesday in Atlanta, and Dan Ellis
made it stand up with 30 saves in a 2-1 victory.
"The first period I thought we played real well," said Nashville head coach
Barry Trotz. "I know they were playing with a lot of urgency. I thought we
played a real good road period to start."
In halting a two-game slide and winning for the fourth time in six games, the
Predators gave Trotz, who has been the team's coach since its inception in
1998, his 400th career victory. He became just the seventh coach in NHL
history to reach that mark with one team.
Nashville, which is two points up on Calgary for the seventh spot in the West,
played its second game in a row without Shea Weber. The defenseman has 12
goals and 24 assists this year.
The Predators, who won the opener of a four-game road trip, now head out West
and will also play in Anaheim and Los Angeles. Tuesday's win was just the
club's third in its last 10 games as the guest.
San Jose has won two of three versus Nashville this year -- with each game
decided by just one goal -- and eight of the last 11 in the series.
The Sharks notched a 4-3 road win when the clubs last met on February 6.
Heatley had two goals and an assist, giving him five goals and six helpers in
eight career games versus the Preds. Joe Thornton had two assists for San Jose
in that game, and he has 30 career helpers in 27 games versus Nashville.
The Predators have dropped two straight, four of five and nine of their last
11 at San Jose.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.
