St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Pietrangelo was credited with the game- winner, as the Blues pulled out a 6-4 win over the lowly Blue Jackets at Scottrade Center. Pietrangelo, Alexander Steen and Jason Arnott all scored in the third period for St. Louis, which has earned points in six straight games and improved to 13-2-4 under Ken Hitchcock.
Derick Brassard scored with 4:09 remaining to cut Columbus's deficit to 5-4, but Patrik Berglund netted an empty-netter in the final minute to seal the outcome.
Columbus' Derek MacKenzie scored on a rebound with 7:54 remaining in the opening period, but goals by Kevin Shattenkirk and Oshie gave the Blues the lead heading to the second.
But Columbus' 3-2 lead lasted just 58 seconds into the third, as Steen put one in off a long rebound.
Arnott scored the go-ahead goal at 6:43 off a nice feed from David Perron from behind the net, and Pietrangelo added insurance with a wrister that snuck by Mason with 7:52 remaining.
Hitchcock was the coach of Columbus from 2006-10...The Blues have won five straight against the Blue Jackets and have lost just twice in their last 14 at home versus their Central Division rival...Tyutin recorded three assists.
Minnesota is winless in its last three games since ripping off seven consecutive victories and suffered a 2-1 shootout loss versus the New York Islanders on Saturday at home. Cal Clutterbuck scored in the third period to send the game into overtime and Niklas Backstrom made 35 saves for the Wild, who have lost three straight for the first time since April 2-7, 2010.
The Wild are opening a three-game road trip through Canada Monday against Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton, and are 10-4-2 away from St. Paul this season.
Vancouver just went 3-1-1 on a five-game road trip and is back home for a four-game residency versus the Wild, Red Wings, Flames and Oilers. The Canucks avoided a third straight loss and won for the 10th time in 13 tries with Saturday's 5-3 triumph at Toronto.

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.
