Comeau's first career hat trick lifts Isles over Blackhawks
Hockey Betting Lines
03/02/2010 -
Uniondale, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Blake Comeau recorded his first career hat
trick to lead the New York Islanders over the Chicago Blackhawks, 5-3, at
Nassau Coliseum.
Jon Sim and Richard Park also lit the lamp for the Islanders, who hit the
Olympic break having dropped two of three. Dwayne Roloson put together one of
his best starts this season, stopping 41-of-44 shots in the victory.
Brian Campbell, Patrick Kane and Dustin Byfuglien scored for the Blackhawks,
who had won four in a row prior to the Olympic hiatus.
Starter Antti Niemi allowed three goals on 12 shots before being pulled in
favor of Cristobal Huet, who finished the game by yielding two goals on 11
shots.
Comeau scored his second goal of the game and 11th of the season as he ripped
a shot from the slot at 2:27 of the second period to tie the game at 2-2, then
Sim scored just 25 seconds later on a wrist shot to gives the Islanders their
first lead of the game on a nice across pass from Park.
Park doubled the Isles' edge at 7:06, and Comeau then completed his trifecta
on a wrist shot with 17.3 seconds left in the second period. New York took
a 5-2 lead to intermission.
Byfuglien drew Chicago within two on a power-play score with 4:17 left in
regulation, and though Huet was on the bench for an extra skater with 2:07 to
play, the Isles held firm.
The Blackhawks came out firing in the first period, out-shooting the Islanders
22-9. Kane took a shot that went off of Roloson that bounced out of the
goalie's sight and Campbell poked in the rebound at 10:44 for the first goal
of the game.
Comeau tied the game just with his first of the night and 10th of the season
1:32 later on a back-handed shot that went over the left shoulder of Niemi.
Chicago scored on the power play just over a minute after the Islanders tied
the game at 1-1, as Kane took a wraparound of an errant Duncan Keith slapshot
and tucked it under Roloson.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
