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.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
