Lundqvist, Rangers blank Bruins
Hockey Betting Lines
02/14/2012 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Henrik Lundqvist posted his league-leading seventh shutout of the season, as the New York Rangers extended their overall winning streak and their road run against Boston to four with a 3-0 whitewash of the Bruins Tuesday night.
Lundqvist made 18 of his season-high 42 saves in the third period for the Rangers, who improved to 8-1-1 over their last 10 games and pace the Eastern Conference with 79 points, one fewer than Detroit for the NHL lead.
Tim Thomas stopped 17 shots for Boston, which has dropped five of eight.
"We certainly could have done more," said Bruins head coach Claude Julien. "They won more battles than we did tonight."
Ryan Callahan continued his torrid streak by opening the scoring on a power play 10:09 into the game.
Boston captain Zdeno Chara was hit by Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi, fell and closed his hand on the puck in the offensive zone.
On the ensuing man advantage, Michael Del Zotto shifted from his point position down to the left circle, where he gathered Marian Gaborik's pass and quickly dished through the crease to Callahan for an easy tap-in.
It was Callahan's 23rd goal of the season -- matching his career high set last year -- and the sixth in four games for the New York captain.
Ryan McDonagh fired a shot from the boards near the outer edge of the left circle that went in off Chara to put the Rangers up 2-0 with 11.8 seconds remaining in the first period.
Artem Anisimov hanged on to the puck on a 2-on-1 rush and beat Thomas with a shot to his blocker side at the 2:53 mark of the third period.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
