02/20/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Minnesota Wild will try to stop their longest current losing streak against any team in the league when they host the Dallas Stars this evening at Xcel Energy Center for the final time this season.
Minnesota has dropped its last six games (0-3-3) against the Stars, including all three matchups this year. Two of those setbacks have come in a shootout. The Wild's last win over the Stars was at home on December 19, 2005.
On Sunday, David Backes' pair of scores lifted the Blues to a 5-3 win over the Wild at Scottrade Center. Marian Gaborik scored and picked up one assist for Minnesota, which has lost two of three. Adam Hall and Pavol Demitra also tallied.
Gaborik and Demitra have been red-hot as of late. Demitra is currently riding a nine-game point streak (seven goals, eight assists), which is one off his career-best 10-game point burst, set in 2001.
Gaborik, meanwhile, has scored a goal in four straight contests and has totaled five tallies and four assists over his last four games.
Niklas Backstrom picked up the loss on Sunday, stopping 21 shots before leaving the game after two periods. Josh Harding was a perfect four-of-four in 18 minutes of third-period relief.
The Wild are a stellar 20-5-4 at home this year, but will hit the road on Thursday to battle Colorado. The club is three points behind Vancouver for the lead in the Northwest Division.
Dallas was also last in action on Sunday, but unlike the Wild, came out winners. Mike Ribeiro and Jere Lehtinen both scored a pair of goals to help the Stars defeat the San Jose Sharks, 5-2.
Stu Barnes scored for the Stars, who have won six of their last eight games and trail Anaheim by seven points for the top spot in the Pacific Division. Marty Turco blocked 17 shots in the win.
The Stars were without center Eric Lindros, who missed his third straight game on Sunday because of a lower body injury. He is questionable for tonight's contest.
Dallas is still without center Steve Ott (ankle surgery), left wing Brenden Morrow (right wrist surgery) and right wing Matthew Barnaby (concussion).
The Stars are 16-12-1 as the visitor this season and return home for a big game against the Ducks on Friday.

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.
New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.
His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.
HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.
The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.
RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.
First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.
The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.
These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.
New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
