Hockey Betting Lines

03/16/2010 - Dallas, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mike Ribeiro and Brenden Morrow each scored a pair of goals, as the Dallas Stars demolished the Western Conference-leading San Jose Sharks, 8-2, at American Airlines Center.

Brad Richards had a goal and two assists for the Stars, who improved to 1-1-1 on a six-game homestand and sit seven points behind the Red Wings for the eighth spot in the West.

Brandon Segal and Steve Ott each had a goal and an assist. Toby Petersen had the other goal for Dallas, which got 45 saves from Kari Lehtonen.

Dan Boyle and Devin Setoguchi lit the lamp for the Sharks, who have dropped three straight and hold a two-point lead over the Blackhawks in the West standings. Evgeni Nabokov turned aside 13-of-17 shots before being pulled in the second period for Thomas Greiss, who made 10 saves in relief.

Richards' power-play score at the 9:28 mark of the first period got Dallas' offense going. Ott slid a cross-ice pass to Richards, whose one-timer from the top of the right circle beat Nabokov.

Petersen's backhander at the 2:34 mark of the second made it a 2-0 game. Segal and Morrow scored on slap shots at the 4:30 and 7:46 marks, respectively, to make it 4-0 in favor of the Stars.

Boyle's power-play goal with 1:21 remaining cut the gap to three heading to the third.

Setoguchi scored 51 seconds into the third to make it a 4-2 game on a one- timer from the right circle that beat Lehtonen.

But Dallas got two short-handed goals from Ribeiro and Morrow at 6:56 and 10:02, respectively, to put the game away. Ott and Ribeiro added two insurance goals later in the period.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
