Revamped Coyotes host Ducks in Pacific clash

Hockey Betting Lines

03/06/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Phoenix Coyotes will try to record consecutive wins when they welcome the Anaheim Ducks for tonight's Pacific Division battle at Jobing.com Arena.

The Coyotes were dealt their third straight loss when they emerged from the Olympic break with Tuesday's setback against St. Louis. However, Phoenix rebounded two days later with a home victory over Colorado.

Thursday's win helped Phoenix move ahead of Los Angeles in the Western Conference standings. The Coyotes are currently fourth in the West with 81 points, just one more than the Kings.

Wojtek Wolski was the hero for Phoenix in his first game with the Coyotes, scoring with 23.7 seconds left in regulation to beat his former Colorado club in a 3-1 final. Wolski was dealt from the Avalanche to the Coyotes on Wednesday for forwards Peter Mueller and Kevin Porter.

Phoenix veteran Shane Doan found Wolski set up at the left circle for a one- timer to further the storyline and break a 1-1 tie. Radim Vrbata added an empty-net goal to account for the final margin.

"It was great, we got a lot of chances and I think it will only get better with each game," said Wolski of working with his new teammates. We're all excited about playing with each other."

Fellow newcomer Lee Stempniak, brought in from Toronto on an exceptionally busy day for the Coyotes at the deadline, scored in his first game as well. Goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov came up with 23 saves for the win.

The Coyotes are playing the fourth test of a five-game homestand tonight. Phoenix, which is 23-10-2 as the host this year, will complete the residency Wednesday against Vancouver.

Anaheim has played just one game since the Olympic break and it was also against Colorado, which handed the Ducks a close regulation loss on Wednesday. Chris Stewart had a goal and two assists to lift the Avs to the 4-3 decision in Anaheim.

Teemu Selanne and Jason Blake each had a goal and assist for the Ducks, who are currently outside of the playoff picture with 67 points.

Scott Niedermayer also scored in the loss, while Jonas Hiller made 21 saves.

The Ducks have a poor 11-17-5 record as the guest this year. Following tonight, however, Anaheim will play its next seven games on home ice.

Tonight marks the sixth and final regular season meeting between Anaheim and the Coyotes in 2009-10. Phoenix has won three of the five prior matchups and posted a 4-0 home victory the last times the clubs met on December 23.

The Ducks still have six wins in the last 10 overall meetings between the teams, but they have dropped three straight and five of their last eight in Glendale.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
