Avs top Kings in shootout

Hockey Betting Lines

11/23/2008 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marek Svatos scored the game-winner in the shootout of Colorado's 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.

Peter Budaj picked up the win after recording 27 saves for the Avalanche, who had won three in a row before dropping a recent home-and-home set to the Calgary Flames.

Paul Stastny and Wojtek Wolski each had a goal and an assist, while Milan Hejduk scored in regulation and in the shootout.

Patrick O'Sullivan, Dustin Brown and Alexander Frolov tallied for the Kings, who had won five of their previous seven. Erik Ersberg took the loss, logging 26 saves and getting beat twice in the shootout.

After neither team scored with an additional five minutes, Svatos pushed a backhander between Ersberg's pads, and, following Budaj's save against Brown, Hejduk ended it with a backhander of his own.

Hejduk's ninth goal of the season on the power play with 2:50 to go in the first gave the Avs a 1-0 lead, but the visitors caught some bad luck when defenseman Adam Foote was buried into the boards by John Zeiler in the second period.

Foote's neck bent awkwardly where the glass starts on the boards and stayed on the ice before eventually skating off shakily on his own power. Zeiler was called for boarding and given a game misconduct, and Wolski scored on the ensuing power play for a 2-0 Colorado edge.

The Kings rallied with three straight goals. Frolov's slapshot from the left circle with a man advantage with 5:15 to play in the second got the Kings on the board, and O'Sullivan and Brown each lit the lamp in the span of 1:14 early in the third to go ahead.

Stastny's perfect deflection of Scott Hannan's pass tied the game, 3-3, for Colorado at the 4:31 mark of the third.

Game Notes

Budaj improved to 5-1-1 versus the Kings...LA was 1-for-7 on the power play, while Colorado scored twice on five tries with the extra man.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
