03/18/2010 - Sunrise, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Radim Vrbata scored the game-winning goal in the third round of the shootout, as the Phoenix Coyotes rallied from a three- goal deficit and posted a historic 4-3 victory over the Florida Panthers.
The Coyotes picked up their 44th victory of the season to set a franchise record for wins in one year. The 1984-85 Winnipeg Jets set the original mark with a 43-27-10 record.
Vrbata also scored in regulation for Phoenix, which has won seven in a row for the first time since December 28, 2006-January 7, 2007. The Coyotes sit in fourth in the West with 93 points -- only three off the franchise mark set by the Jets during that 43-win season.
Martin Hanzal and Lee Stempniak also lit the lamp for Phoenix, which got 21 saves from Ilya Bryzgalov.
Stephen Weiss and Cory Stillman each had a goal an assist for the Panthers, who have dropped two straight and sit seven points back of the Bruins for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East.
Tomas Vokoun turned aside 43-of-46 shots in defeat.
After a scoreless first round of the shootout, Nathan Horton found the upper left corner of the net with a wrister to put Florida up. Lauri Korpikoski then backhanded the disc past Vokoun to even things up.
Bryzgalov got the third round started with a poke check of Weiss. Vrbata, who tied the contest late in regulation, made his way towards the net and went to his backhand to beat Vokoun.
Down 3-0 in the third, Hanzal got the comeback going with a power-play score at the 3:56 mark as his wrister from the bottom of the right circle beat Vokoun.
Stempniak also beat Vokoun with a wrist shot at the 4:39 mark to cut the gap to 3-2. Vrbata then scored a weird goal with 59.7 ticks remaining to tie the contest when his shot from center ice took multiple bounces before going over the glove of Vokoun, who shook his head in disbelief.
Each team had one shot in overtime.
The Panthers got a power-play goal from Weiss with 6.7 seconds remaining in the first period. His slapper from the left circle proved to be too much for Bryzgalov to handle.
David Booth made it 2-0 with a goal at the 1:03 mark of the second after he deflected Bryan McCabe's slapper from the right point. Stillman's backhander at 7:31 extended Florida's margin to three.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
