Calgary Leaves Pittsburgh Of Tonight

Hockey Betting Lines

Also heading to Calgary are goaltender Karri Ramo and a fifth-round draft pick in 2012.

 

Cammalleri, who enjoyed a career year in Calgary three seasons ago with 39 goals and 82 points in 81 games, struggled to nine goals and 22 points in 37 games this year. Coming into play on Thursday, Montreal placed last in the Northeast Division with 39 points.

 

The 29-year-old publicly expressed his frustration with the plight of his former club on Wednesday following a 3-0 home loss against St. Louis the night before, questioning their collective will. He clarified those comments prior to Thursday's contest.

 

"There are a lot of young players who have joined our team in the last year who are relatively small. We felt that if we wanted to improve the club, we needed to be bigger up front," said Habs general manager Pierre Gauthier. "We felt since the season started that was one of the things needed to improve."

 

Ramo, a 25-year-old native of Finland, has 48 games of NHL experience -- all with Tampa Bay from 2006-09. He posted an 11-21-10 record with a 3.35 goals- against average for the Bolts, but has spent the past three seasons with Avangard Omsk of Russia's Kontinental Hockey League.

 

Eriksson had two goals in regulation, while Alex Goligoski added a goal and an assist. Eric Nystrom also scored for the Stars.

 

Anze Kopitar and Jack Johnson each had a goal and two assists for the Kings. Lewis and Dustin Brown also lit the lamp, while Jonathan Quick made 34 saves in the loss.

 

Kopitar redirected a Johnson slap shot from the left point 6:16 into the second period to close the gap to 2-1, but Goligoski answered with a one-timer from the left circle just over a minute later to stretch the Stars' lead back to two goals.

 

Los Angeles then took its first lead of the game in the third period with two straight power play goals.

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.
