01/16/2007 - Glendale, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ladislav Nagy scored the game-winner in the fourth round of the shootout, as the Phoenix Coyotes slipped by the St. Louis Blues, 5-4.
Ed Jovanovski scored twice and added an assist for the Coyotes, who have won eight of ten. Shane Doan picked up a pair of helpers as did Nagy, while Jeremy Roenick and Cyanic Peroral provided the other tallies.
Mikael Tellqvist stopped 22 shots in his first career start against St. Louis. He is 5-1-1, with one shutout in his last seven starts.
Petr Cajanek notched a pair of assists for the Blues, who had their three-game winning streak halted but still managed a point in the loss. Radek Dvorak had a goal and an assist, and Christian Backman, Dennis Wideman and Peter Sejna all scored in the contest.
Manny Legace made 39 saves in regulation but let up two goals in four shootout chances.
After Tellqvist stopped Sejna to open the fourth round, Nagy skated in and blew a wrister top-shelf over Legace to end the game. The Blues' Doug Weight and Doan each scored once in the shootout before the deciding score.
The Coyotes dominated the first period, outshooting the Blues, 19-7, and scoring the game's first two goals.
Just 2:59 in, it was 1-0, as Nagy broke into the Blues' zone down left wing and fed across to Peroral, whose one-timer sailed over Legace's shoulder. Roenick doubled the margin on the power-play at 14:19, tipping home Jovanovski's point shot.
St. Louis responded in the second with a pair of goals to tie. Backman tallied his third of the season at the 3:36 mark, breaking down the right wing, sidestepping two players and scoring top shelf on Tellqvist. Dvorak followed 2:18 later, beating a Coyotes defender in a foot race to a loose puck, and chipping a shot over Tellqvist as he was falling at full speed towards the crease.
However, with 50 seconds remaining, Doan dished to Jovanovski and his rising slap per from the point through traffic gave Phoenix a 3-2 advantage.
A tense third period saw three goals in the final 6:10, as the Blues erased a pair of one-goal deficits to send the game into overtime.
Wideman tallied at 13:50 with Georges Laraque in the box for boarding to forge a 3-3 tie, but in a poetic twist Jovanovski came back with his second of the game on a screamer from the point with 3:33 left in regulation as Wideman sat in the sin bin for boarding.
Sejna then tallied his first of the season for a 4-4 tie with 1:45 to go and both teams skating at even strength. Cajanek had dished down low to Sejna, and his backhander from a sharp angle on the right side trickled through Tellqvist.
Game Notes
The Coyotes have won five straight and six of seven against the Blues...23 of the Blues' 46 games have been decided by one goal...Peroral has 12 points (6G, 6A) in his last 11 games...Phoenix finished 1-2 on their three-game homestand...St. Louis has earned at least a point in seven of its last eight road games.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
