03/14/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nicklas Backstrom scored twice, including the winning goal at 3:10 of overtime, as the Washington Capitals rallied to beat the Chicago Blackhawks, 4-3, at United Center.
Backstrom, Brooks Laich and Eric Fehr scored 2:16 apart in the third period to erase a 3-0 deficit. Jose Theodore made 20 saves for the Capitals, who have already secured their third consecutive Southeast Division title and lead the NHL with 101 points.
Washington mustered the comeback without captain Alex Ovechkin. He missed the majority of the contest after receiving a major and a game misconduct for shoving Chicago defenseman Brian Campbell, who crashed violently into the end boards from behind at the 12:16 mark of the first period. Campbell's right shoulder appeared to absorb most of the collision. He did not return to the game.
Jonathan Toews had a pair of goals for Chicago, which was coming off a tough 3-2 loss in Philadelphia on Saturday. The Blackhawks surrendered two goals in the final 2:04 against the Flyers, including Chris Pronger's game-winner with 2.1 seconds left.
Antti Niemi stopped 26 shots to take the loss.
Washington got on the board when Laich converted a Mike Green rebound for a power-play goal at 5:29 of the final period.
David Steckel won a race to negate an icing and quickly centered the puck to Fehr, who tied the game at 7:45, just 13 seconds after Backstrom cashed in a friendly carom off the lively end boards.
The Swede struck again in overtime, pushing the puck down the left side on an odd-man rush and slipping a shot through the pads of Niemi after dangling the puck around a defenseman.
Chicago took advantage of a breakdown in coverage to open the scoring at the seven-minute mark of the first period.
Following a faceoff win by Toews in the Washington zone, Patrick Kane, who saw a nine-game point streak end in the loss to Philadelphia, moved the puck over to defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson at the left point. Hjalmarsson then fed an uncovered Toews for a successful one-timer below the right circle.
Ovechkin's day ended prematurely several minutes later.
The chief scoring chance during the extended power play belonged to Alexander Semin. The Washington sniper had a breakaway in the final minute, but Niemi made a left pad save.
Unfortunately, for Semin, his momentum carried him into the rookie Finn, which resulted in a goaltender interference penalty and a brief two-man advantage for the Blackhawks.
Toews' 5-on-3 tally gave Chicago a two-goal lead with 3:06 to play in the opening frame. A redirection from the high slot by John Madden made it 3-0 at 6:54 of the second period.
Game Notes
Theodore improved to 14-0-2 in his last 16 decisions...Washington had lost three of four on the road...Capitals forward Boyd Gordon appeared in his 300th career game...Right winger Marian Hossa and defenseman Kim Johnsson were out of the lineup with upper-body injuries for Chicago...The Capitals reached the 100-point plateau in Game 69, setting a new franchise record first established in 1985-86 when the Caps reached the mark in Game 74 that season.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
