Oilers become Red Wings' latest victim at Joe Louis Arena

Hockey Betting Lines

02/08/2012 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Detroit just cannot be beaten at home this season.

Goals in the third period by Drew Miller and Henrik Zetterberg helped the Red Wings extend their home winning streak to 18 games in a 4-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday.

It's been over three months since Detroit last dropped a home contest -- a loss to Calgary on November 3 -- as the team has the longest home winning streak since the 1975-76 Philadelphia Flyers notched a league-tying 20 straight wins at The Spectrum.

Detroit is now 21-2-1 at Joe Louis Arena this season.

Cory Emmerton and Johan Franzen also scored while Joey MacDonald posted 15 saves for the Red Wings, who had gone 2-2-1 on a five-game road trip.

Edmonton center Sam Gagner continued his recent tear with two goals in the loss and now has eight in his past four games. Including an eight-point effort against Chicago last Thursday, he now has eight goals and seven assists during a five-game point streak.

Nikolai Khabibulin allowed all four goals on 30 shots for the Oilers, who have lost their past two games.

Gagner had tied the game earlier in the third, but the Red Wings went on top with 9:14 to play as a wrist shot from Justin Abdelkader in the slot was stopped by Khabibulin, but it sat behind him and he couldn't find it before Miller jammed it in.

Zetterberg gave the Red Wings some insurance when he pounced on a rebound in the slot and slid to the left before putting a wrister into the net with 5:16 left.

Detroit scored on the power play at the 13:18 mark of the first when Ian White used a slap-pass from the high slot to get the puck down low to Franzen, who redirected it into the net for his 21st of the year.

It was a 2-0 game 2:45 into the second when Abdelkader brought the puck out from the deep boards and got a shot on net that was stopped, but Emmerton was in front to clean up the rebound.

The hottest man in hockey, though, made it a one-goal game with 8:52 to play in the second as Gagner got the puck near the Detroit blue line and nearly lost control of it, but avoided the poke-check attempt from MacDonald and lifted a backhand into the net.

Gagner struck again at the 8:23 mark of the third while Edmonton was on the power play. Magnus Paajarvi grabbed a bad Detroit pass inside the right circle and made a power move to the front. MacDonald stopped Paajarvi's shot, but Gagner swooped in to backhand home the rebound to tie the game.

Game Notes

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5
