Goals Sacco Crush Edge Into New

Hockey Betting Lines

Tarkki, who could get his first start tonight, was only needed because backup Dan Ellis had suffered a groin injury in practice on Saturday.

 

A win tonight would give the Ducks their first three-game winning streak since a 4-0-0 run from Oct. 8-17 that gave the club their best start (4-1-0) since their Stanley Cup-winning season of 2006-07.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Martin Brodeur and Jarome Iginla figure to both be members of the Hall of Fame following the end of their outstanding NHL careers. But for 2011-12, the goal for the two veterans is simply getting back to the postseason. Iginla's Calgary Flames hope to move up the Western Conference ladder with a seventh straight home victory this evening against the Brodeur-led New Jersey Devils, owners of points in five of their past six.

 

The Devils, meanwhile, are sixth in the Eastern Conference as they look to return to the playoffs after having a string of 13 straight appearances halted a season ago.

 

"That accomplishment is an individual accomplishment, but it's also about him having strong teammates and playing for a first class organization -- a lot of things are involved in it," Flames coach Brent Sutter said of Iginla's 500th goal. "To see a guy score his 500th goal and to see a guy score his first goal, [this game's] got a neat story to it."

 

The Devils are 5-1-1 in their last seven on the road and kicked off a four- game swing on Saturday with a 3-1 win at Pittsburgh. Brodeur continued his recent surge with 41 saves to secure the 637th win of his career.

 

Adam Henrique scored New Jersey's league-leading ninth shorthanded goal and Dainius Zubrus lit the lamp on his club's lone power-play chance. The Devils also stopped the Penguins on their two man advantages and are killing off penalties at a 91.2-percent clip.

 

The Devils have won three of their past four versus the Flames, taking a 2-1 shootout win at home in the lone meeting last year on Kovalchuk's game-winner in the tiebreaker.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
