Goal On Player Shot

Hockey Betting Lines

New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The National Hockey League suspended Anaheim Ducks forward Jean-Francois Jacques three games without pay on Monday for an incident in Sunday's game against Columbus. Jacques was given a major for elbowing early in the third period of a 7-4 win over the Blue Jackets at Honda Center for delivering a hit to the head of Columbus forward R.J. Umberger after the visiting player released a shot on goal from the right wing.

 

"It is important to note that while Umberger is taking a wrist shot, the position of his head does not change significantly either simultaneous with, or just prior to, contact. The onus, therefore, is on Jacques not to make the head the principal point of contact.

 

The 26-year-old Montreal native was suspended for the remainder of the preseason and five regular-season games in September for leaving the bench during a legal line change to engage in a fight with Canucks forward Mike Duco during an exhibition contest.

 

He forked over nearly $18,000 in salary for the original infraction.

 

Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Kings, who came into the contest struggling putting the puck into the net, had an offensive explosion against Washington on Monday, defeating the Capitals, 5-2. Kyle Clifford, Anze Kopitar, Jack Johnson, Jarret Stoll and Justin Williams all netted goals for the Kings, who averaged a league-worst 2.02 goals a contest coming in and tallied just twice in their previous three games.

 

"It was good to score and we got it from all of the lines. We had guys around the net tonight," Kings head coach Darryl Sutter said.

 

Tomas Vokoun stopped 23-of-27 shots before being pulled after the second period. Michal Neuvirth came on and made seven saves in the third period.

 

Clifford tied the game midway through the first period with a backhander in the crease following a shot by Trent Hunter from the left circle. It was the first Kings goal in 71:41 and first regulation goal in just over 170 minutes of ice time.

 

Following a Capitals turnover, Dustin Brown found an open Kopitar in the slot and he tipped it home with 34 seconds left in opening period.

 

Johnson wristed one home from the slot at the 3:01 mark following an odd-man rush, and Stoll made it 4-1 with 3:33 remaining as he chopped home a rebound.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.

Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.

According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).

Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.

''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
    
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.

Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.

''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''

Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
   
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.

”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
   
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
