Hockey Betting Lines

03/13/2010 - San Jose, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bryan Allen scored at the 2:46 mark of overtime to give the Florida Panthers a 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks at HP Pavilion.

In the extra season, a left circle faceoff was won by Shawn Matthias and he drew it back to Allen, who threw a simple wrister on net that snuck through a screen set up by Matthias in front.

Allen and Matthias each finished the game with a goal and an assist while Keith Ballard scored the other goal for the Panthers, who have won four of their last five. Tomas Vokoun made 37 saves in the win.

The win gives Florida 66 points on the season as the team sits six points back of Boston for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Patrick Marleau and Ryane Clowe each had a goal and an assist for the Sharks, who had their three-game winning streak snapped. Thomas Greiss stopped 25 shots in the loss.

San Jose has 96 points and sits three ahead of Chicago for the top spot in the Western Conference and is just three points behind Washington for first overall in the NHL.

The Sharks got on the board 5:32 into the first as Clowe skated with the puck from the right boards to the slot and snapped a wrister into the right corner.

Skating on the power play later in the first, San Jose took a 2-0 lead as Marleau's one-timer from a sharp angle at the right side found the back of the net for his 41st goal of the season with 2:15 left in the frame.

Just 1:02 into the second period, Florida found the scoreboard as Radek Dvorak took the puck from the deep left boards around to the outside left circle and fired a pass over to Ballard, who one-timed the puck into the open net.

Florida tied the game 5:01 into the final frame as Allen threw a shot on net from the left point that was stopped, but Matthias was there to backhand in the rebound from in front for his sixth goal of the year.

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.
