Doan's late tally lifts Coyotes over Sharks

Hockey Betting Lines

03/18/2009 - Glendale, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Shane Doan scored an impressive power-play goal with 27 seconds left in the game to lift the Phoenix Coyotes past the San Jose Sharks, 4-3, at Jobing.com Arena.

With 33 ticks left, Jonathan Cheechoo of San Jose made a crucial mistake when he was called for interference off a faceoff. And the Coyotes took full advantage of the golden opportunity.

Off a faceoff in the Sharks zone, Doan collected the puck in the left circle and made a sharp move to the right side of the net. Doan was being checked from behind as he somehow managed to slide a backhander between the pads of a sprawling Nabokov for the game-winner.

Doan also dished out three helpers on the night. Kyle Turris tallied two goals and a pair of assists while Dmitri Kalinin added a goal and an assist for the Coyotes, who snapped a five-game losing streak. Ilya Bryzgalov stopped 33 shots for the win.

Joe Thornton tallied twice and picked up an assist for the Sharks, who were trying to clinch the Pacific Division after locking up a playoff spot with Sunday's win over Anaheim. Patrick Marleau also lit the lamp, while Rob Blake had three helpers. Evgeni Nabokov was pulled after allowing three goals on nine shots in the opening 20 minutes. Brian Boucher made 10 stops the rest of the way.

Trailing 3-1, Thornton notched his second goal of the contest 4:05 into the third stanza to cut the deficit to one. After a scramble in front of the net for the puck, Thornton picked up the disc at the left circle and backhanded the puck past a sprawling Bryzgalov.

San Jose deadlocked the tilt at three on Marleau's 36th of the year at the 8:20 mark. A Blake shot hit off the pads of Bryzgalov, setting up a rebound in front for Thornton. Instead of shooting, Thornton backhanded a pass to a charging Marleau, who buried the puck behind the Phoenix netminder.

The Coyotes drew first blood quick and early, scoring just 21 seconds into the game. Doan's shot from the point set up a rebound in front of the net. Turris charged in and collected the puck before sliding the disc past Nabokov. Turris notched his second score of the game on the power play to give Phoenix a 2-0 lead with 4:39 remaining in the first.

A power-play goal from Kalinin with just 16 seconds left in the first frame put the Coyotes ahead 3-0. Doan slid a pass from behind the net to Kalinin, who was stationed at the right circle. Kalinin fired a shot off the left post and into the net.

Thornton's 21st of the year put the Sharks on the board at the 8:01 mark of the second period.

Game Notes

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
