Hockey Betting Lines
02/07/2012 -
Ottawa, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Almost a year after the Ottawa Senators traded
him to the Colorado Avalanche, Brian Elliott made his regular season return to
Scotiabank Place.
Elliott stopped 28 shots and led the St. Louis Blues over Ottawa, 3-1, on
Tuesday.
A ninth-round pick by Ottawa in 2003, Elliott appeared in 130 games with the
club. He went 59-45-15 in that span with a 2.81 goals-against average and .903
save percentage.
Elliott, who signed with the Blues this past offseason, made his initial
return to Ottawa as a member of Team Chara in the 2012 NHL All Star Game. The
first-time All Star made 13 saves in the contest.
David Perron scored twice and Chris Porter also lit the lamp for the Blues,
who had lost three of four coming in. St. Louis moved to 10-0-2 against the
Eastern Conference this season.
Craig Anderson, who was acquired from Colorado in the Elliott trade, allowed
two goals on four shots and was quickly pulled in favor of Alex Auld, who made
13 saves.
Daniel Alfredsson scored the lone goal for Ottawa, which has lost a season-
high seven straight games.
The Blues recorded two quick tallies just 3:49 into the opening period.
The first came on the Blues' first shot on net at the 1:37 mark of the stanza.
From the right boards, Roman Polak sent a quick wrister on net which was
redirected by Porter for a 1-0 St. Louis advantage.
On the second tally, Patrik Berglund skated up the left wing and wristed a
shot on net from the top of the left circle. Anderson mishandled the rebound
and Perron pounced on the loose disc and put it home from the crease to make
it 2-0.
Using the power play, the Senators got on the board less than a minute into
the second. Sergei Gonchar took a slap shot from the high point and Alfredsson
redirected it home to make it 2-1.
St. Louis regained its two-goal advantage at the 6:35 mark of the second on
Perron's backhander in the slot.
Elliott stopped eight shots in the third to preserve the win for the Blues.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
