Panthers down Jets, extend division lead

Hockey Betting Lines

02/03/2012 - Sunrise, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Scott Clemmensen turned away 20 shots and the Florida Panthers expanded their lead in the Southeast Division with a 2-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets at BankAtlantic Center.

Kris Versteeg and Sean Bergenheim supplied the goals for the Panthers, who have won three of their last four games.

Florida, which improved to 13-5-7 at home, moved three points ahead of second- place Washington in the division standings. The Jets are five points off the pace.

Bryan Little had the lone goal for Winnipeg, which was vying for its first three-game winning streak as the visitor since December 4-13, 2010. The Jets fell to 2-3-0 on their six-game road trip.

Chris Mason made 28 saves in defeat.

The Panthers opened the scoring when Mikael Samuelsson fed Versteeg for a power-play goal at the 15:46 mark of the first period.

Versteeg, who pumped home his team-leading 20th goal of the season, returned to the lineup after missing Florida's 4-2 victory over Washington on Wednesday because of the flu.

The Jets are likely sick of Versteeg after the 25-year-old right winger lit the lamp for the sixth time in four meetings with Winnipeg this season.

Little tied the game by beating Clemmensen between the pads with a wrister from the middle of the left circle at 11:29 of the second period.

However, Bergenheim converted Marcel Goc's pass from behind the net 2:58 later to put Florida back on top.

Clemmensen posted seven saves during the final 20 minutes.

Game Notes

Versteeg has scored at least 20 goals for the fourth time in his career. He is two shy of his personal best set with Chicago in 2008-09...The Winnipeg/Atlanta franchise had won four straight at Florida...The Panthers improved to 9-1-2 against Canadian opponents this season...Winnipeg fell to 0-9-0 in the second half of a back-to-back in 2011-12.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.

Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend.  Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
