03/11/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The St. Louis Blues will try to get back on track tonight when they visit the New York Islanders for an interconference clash at Nassau Coliseum.
The Blues pushed their winning streak to a season-high five games by posting consecutive victories to begin their post-Olympic schedule. However, St. Louis had its momentum halted in a big way Saturday, dropping a 7-3 road decision against Colorado.
St. Louis is still battling to stay in the playoff race. The Blues are currently six points out of the eighth and final postseason berth in the Western Conference.
Chris Stewart netted the first hat trick of his career and added an assist as to lead the Avalanche to Saturday's rout.
Alexander Steen had two goals and David Perron added a marker for the Blues. Chris Mason started in net, but was pulled in the second period for giving up four goals on 15 shots. Ty Conklin played the rest of the game and gave up two goals on 17 shots.
"We were just a step behind tonight," said Steen. "Skating is the biggest part of the game cause you can't clutch and grab and hold anymore and they were just a step ahead of us all night."
St. Louis, which has a solid 18-10-4 mark as the visitor this year, is playing the fourth test of a six-game road trip tonight.
Meanwhile, the Islanders have lost three straight games and are just 3-12-0 in their last 15 contests. The swoon has dropped New York to 14th place out of 15 teams in the East.
New York was dealt a 3-2 loss Tuesday in Philadelphia, marking the 15th straight victory for the Flyers against the Isles -- the longest active stretch of victories by one team over any single opponent in the league.
The Isles led 2-0 in the second period, but Philadelphia rallied to keep its streak alive.
Rookie John Tavares and Kyle Okposo scored for the Islanders, while Dwayne Roloson allowed three goals on 35 shots in the loss.
"I thought we played well," said Roloson. "We did the things we needed to do to win the hockey game. Unfortunately, they capitalized on a couple power plays -- that's just the way things have been bouncing for us."
Tonight's test marks the first of three straight on home ice for the Isles, who are 17-13-2 as the host this year. They will also host New Jersey and Toronto during the residency.
The Blues posted a 4-1 home win over the Isles on November 21 and have won two of three and four of the last six meetings between the clubs. St. Louis is 4-2 with a tie in its last seven trips to Long Island.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
