Eriksson lifts Stars past Ducks

Hockey Betting Lines

03/07/2009 - Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Loui Eriksson scored twice to lead the Dallas Stars to a 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center.

Mike Ribeiro posted a goal and an assist for Dallas, which won for just the second time in its last eight games. Steve Ott collected two helpers and Marty Turco made 36 saves, including 19 in the second period, to earn the win.

Bobby Ryan and newly acquired James Wisniewski found the net for the Ducks, who have lost three of four. Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped just 13 shots in defeat.

It was an inauspicious Anaheim debut for Erik Christensen. Acquired from Atlanta at the trade deadline, Christensen committed a lazy hooking penalty in the game's first minute and Dallas converted on the subsequent power play. Ribeiro finished off a nifty give-and-go down low with Ott to put the visitors on the board at 1:45.

Eriksson gave the Stars a two-goal edge when he lurked around the crease and tapped home a cross-ice pass from Ott with 5:21 to go in the second period.

Wisniewski, who came over from Chicago on Wednesday, put the Ducks on the board at the 7:31 mark of the third period, then Eriksson pumped in his 31st of the season to restore a two-goal cushion at 8:48.

The No. 2 pick in the 2005 draft, Ryan cut the deficit to 3-2 with 2:32 to play in the game. With the Stars in the midst of a line change, Ryan skated along the left-wing boards, danced around a Dallas defender and stuffed the puck past Turco, but time was the enemy and Anaheim failed to net the equalizer.

Game Notes

Stars defenseman Darryl Sydor notched his 400th career assist...Ryan is pacing all rookies in goals with 23...Before the game, Dallas activated forward Landon Wilson from injured reserve. Wilson had missed the previous 27 games with an upper-body injury.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
