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.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.

Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.

Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.

The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
