Alfredsson lifts Ottawa over Calgary in OT

Hockey Betting Lines

12/30/2011 - Ottawa, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Daniel Alfredsson scored his 400th career NHL goal on a power play in overtime, lifting the Ottawa Senators to a 4-3 come- from-behind win over the Calgary Flames on Friday night.

Alfredsson rifled a one-timer from the top of the left circle past Leland Irving 3:31 into overtime for the game-winner, drawing the Senators all the way back from a 3-0 deficit for their fourth win in six games.

Nick Foligno, Zack Smith and Erik Karlsson also scored for Ottawa. Alex Auld gave up three goals on 15 shots in the first period and was pulled for Craig Anderson, who made 17 saves for the win.

Rene Bourque, Curtis Glencross and Chris Butler scored for Calgary while Irving allowed four goals on 49 shots. The Flames fell to 2-1-1 on a seven- game road trip.

The Senators snapped a brief two-game losing streak that looked like it would reach three after Calgary's red-hot first period.

Bourque's fluke goal just 23 seconds into the period came after he intercepted Auld's lazy clear around the boards and threw a sharp-angle pass toward the front of the net that hit off a skate in front.

Glencross' power play goal came on a one-timer at 6:25 and Butler's soft shot from the left side made it past Auld with 71 seconds remaining.

But Ottawa rallied, beginning with Foligno's backhand deke for a goal 3:34 into the second period. Smith scored at 12:01 and Karlsson tied the game at 3-3 on a good individual effort 4:28 into the third period.

After his initial shot from the right side was blocked, Karlsson hustled for his own rebounds and carried the puck around the net, spinning to score on a wrister from the left circle.

Game Notes

The Flames were forced out on their season-high road trip because the 2012 World Junior Championships are taking place in Calgary and Edmonton.

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.
