02/19/2007 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - David Backes' pair of scores lifted the Blues to a 5-3 win over the Wild at Scottrade Center.
Jamal Mayers, Jay McClement, and Keith Tkachuk also lit the lamp for St. Louis, which has won three in a row and four of six. Lee Stempniak recorded two assists, and Manny Legace stopped 33 shots to pick up the victory.
Marian Gaborik scored and picked up one assist for Minnesota, which has lost two of three. Adam Hall and Pavol Demitra also tallied, and Mark Parrish collected a pair of helpers.
Niklas Backstrom picked up the loss, and stopped 21 shots before leaving the game after two periods. Josh Harding was a perfect four-of-four in 18 minutes of third-period relief.
Having surrendered a two-goal lead late in the first period, the Blues snapped to attention and wrapped up the game with a three-goal middle stanza.
A pair of scores in a 2:39 span early in the period restored the two-goal cushion, as McClement made it 3-2 at 5:01 and Backes netted his second of the game at 7:40.
Tkachuk put the Blues up 5-2 with 3:23 left in the period, whacking home a loose puck behind Backstrom in the crease for his 20th goal of the season.
After several shifts of constant pressure late in the contest, Demitra brought the Wild within 5-3 with 3:10 left in regulation, banking a puck which caromed off the end boards off Legace's head and into the net.
Harding went to the bench with almost two minutes to go, but the Blues spent more time with the puck in their half of the ice, missing two chances for an empty-net score before time ran out.
Mayers put a damper on Minnesota's first power-play chance 6:34 into the game, giving the Blues a 1-0 lead with a far-side shot from the outer edge of the right circle.
Backes followed with a power-play tally with 8:02 to play the first, taking his own rebound and beating Backstrom with a wrister in the top right corner.
Hall brought the Wild within one with 5:51 to play in the first, batting a floating puck out of mid-air in the slot and bouncing it into the net just inside the far post, and only two seconds remained when Gaborik tallied to tie the game 2-2.
Game Notes
Minnesota is 6-2-0 in the last eight matchups with St. Louis, and both teams have split a pair of games this season...The Wild scored once in five power play chances, while the Blues ended with one goal on seven opportunities.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
