Brodeur, Devils shut out Rangers
Hockey Betting Lines
02/07/2012 -
New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Martin Brodeur extended his NHL record with
the 117th shutout of his career, as the New Jersey Devils made a first period
goal stand up in a 1-0 win over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.
David Clarkson tallied the only goal for the Devils, who have now won five
straight.
The Rangers appeared to tie the game with 3.5 seconds left, but Marian Gaborik
crashed into Brodeur and was called for goalie interference, negating Artem
Anisimov's potential equalizer.
Henrik Lundqvist was again marvelous in net, stopping 21-of-22 shots, but saw
a personal four-game winning streak come to an end. New York, meanwhile, lost
for only the second time in its last six games overall.
Brodeur, though, was the story, as the four-time Vezina Trophy winner stopped
30 shots, including 15 in the final period, to secure his first shutout since
blanking the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 25 of last season.
It looked as if he would be denied the shutout late. With the Rangers net
empty and time ticking down, Ryan Callahan wristed a shot from the left circle
that Brodeur pushed aside. Gaborik then went into Brodeur, knocking him
backwards into the net, while Anisimov buried the putback, only to see it
waved off by a penalty.
The Rangers had their chances in the third period and outshot the Devils,
15-1. New York was also 0-for-3 on the power play and is scoreless in its last
17 tries with the extra skater.
The Devils took advantage of a Stu Bickel holding call and cashed in on the
power play 8:14 into the opening period. From behind the net Zach Parise found
a streaking Clarkson, who beat Lundqvist glove side for his 21st goal of the
season.
Clarkson now has five goals in his last five games, while Parise extended his
point streak to six games (5g, 3a).
Petr Sykora almost made it a two-goal game late in the first period, but his
rocket from the top of the right circle hit the crossbar with time winding
down.
The Rangers had a pair of terrific chances in the second period. Shortly into
the period Brandon Prust missed the net, while with time ticking down in the
stanza Brodeur used the left glove to turn aside a terrific opportunity from
Carl Hagelin.
Game Notes
Lundqvist has allowed one goal or fewer in 11 of his last 19 games, and has
held opponents to two or fewer goals in 27 games this season...The Devils have
outscored the opposition 21-12 during their five game win streak.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
