Avalanche edge Wild in shootout

Hockey Betting Lines

03/13/2009 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wojtek Wolski notched the winner in the shootout as Colorado nipped Minnesota, 2-1, at Pepsi Center.

Wolski opened the round with a backhander, then Minnesota's Owen Nolan was denied by the right pad of Peter Budaj. Milan Hejduk followed with another successful backhand shot and Budaj stifled Mikko Koivu to lock up the game for Colorado.

"Obviously it's more fun to win, and we've got to win a few more," Hejduk said of his team, which is mired in the Northwest Division basement.

John-Michael Liles picked up the only goal of regulation for the Avalanche, who have won two of three. Budaj had a relatively easy game, stopping 16-of-17 shots.

Marc-Andre Bergeron tallied for the Wild, losers in three of four. Despite 40 saves, Niklas Backstrom suffered the loss.

Bergeron netted a man-advantage goal just after the midway point of the first period, then Liles answered on a power play just 37 seconds into the second period for a 1-1 game.

The Avs failed to net a clincher in the third period or overtime in spite of a combined 17-4 shot advantage over the game's final 25 minutes.

"Our team is great when everybody works hard and plays hard, but when we are passengers, we do not play well," said Wild head coach Jacques Lemaire.

Game Notes

Colorado improved to 9-1 in the shootout, while Minnesota fell to 4-3...Avs defenseman Adam Foote left the game after the first period with a head injury and did not return.

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
