Flyers rally to upend Chicago on Pronger's last-second score

Hockey Betting Lines

03/13/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Pronger scored the game-winner with 2.1 seconds left in regulation as Philadelphia edged Chicago, 3-2, at Wachovia Center.

With time winding down, Claude Giroux carried the puck down the right-wing side and waited at the outer edge of the right circle, until Pronger raced down the left side and was able to redirect the cross-ice pass into a half- open net.

Simon Gagne and Scott Hartnell also recorded third-period scores for the Flyers, who have won three of four.

Michael Leighton, who was making his 13th consecutive start, stopped 39-of-41 shots for Philadelphia, which has won 13 of the last 15 meetings against Chicago since December, 1997.

Kris Versteeg and Marian Hossa tallied for the Blackhawks, who had taken three of four games coming in and failed in their bid to tie idle San Jose for the top spot in the Western Conference. The Sharks still hold a two-point lead (95-93) over Chicago.

Cristobal Huet made 31 saves in the setback.

In a scoreless first period, Leighton made 15 saves and Huet stopped 12 shots.

Leighton continued to shine in the second, diving across the crease to stop a Hossa chance midway through. Huet responded by staying strong despite intense Flyers pressure in the final 90 seconds of the period, including a great sprawling stop on Dan Carcillo from 10 feet.

Gagne broke the deadlock at the 1:18 mark of the third period, taking a dish from Carcillo and beating a diving Huet from the left circle.

Versteeg knotted the game at 3:01 while Chicago was on the power play, chipping home a rebound from the left side.

Hossa gave the 'Hawks a 2-1 lead with 7:09 left in regulation, but Hartnell fought off a defender and beat Huet off the left post with 2:04 to play.

Game Notes

Pronger's last game-winning tally occurred on January 19 against Columbus, and his last goal of any kind came on January 23 against Carolina...Chicago has not won in Philadelphia since November 9, 1996, having lost eight straight since then...Hartnell broke a 13-game goalless drought stretching back to January 30.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
