Bolts edge Thrashers in shootout
Hockey Betting Lines
01/23/2010 -
Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeff Halpern scored the game-winner in the fifth
round of the shootout, as the Tampa Bay Lightning edged the Atlanta Thrashers,
2-1, at St. Pete Times Forum.
Steven Stamkos scored in regulation for the Lightning, who were coming off a
3-2 overtime win against the Maple Leafs on Thursday. Antero Niittymaki made
37 saves for Tampa Bay, which improved to 13-6-5 at home for the season and is
6-1-1 over its last eight outings at St. Pete Times Forum.
Nik Antropov had the lone goal for the Thrashers, who have dropped two in a
row. Johan Hedberg turned aside 24-of-25 shots for Atlanta, which has lost 10
of its last 11 away games (1-7-3).
Following a scoreless first three rounds of the shootout, Tampa Bay's Kurtis
Foster led off the fourth with what appeared to be a goal. Hedberg came
sprawling out of his net to poke check at the puck. The disc ended up bouncing
into the net, but the replay showed that the puck hit off Foster's shin before
going in. Thus, the goal was waved off.
Niittymaki then made a glove save on Rich Peverley to send the shootout into a
fifth frame. Halpern's wrister went through Hedberg's five-hole, and
Niittymaki turned away Todd White's shot to secure the win.
Atlanta drew first blood at the 5:23 mark of the first period. Bryan Little,
who was positioned at the right circle, slid a pass in front to Antropov,
whose snap shot got past Niittymaki.
Just over two minutes later, Stamkos' slapper on the power play deadlocked the
contest at 1-1.
