02/27/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Carolina Hurricanes appear to be back on track towards securing a playoff berth. Tonight the defending Stanley Cup champions aim for a third consecutive victory when they host the Ottawa Senators at the RBC Center.
Carolina is in a heated battle with a number of teams vying for the final few postseason spots in the Eastern Conference. The team currently holds the eighth and final seed, but has only a one-point lead over the New York Islanders and a two-point edge over Toronto.
The Hurricanes also trail seventh-place Montreal by just a point and are only four back of division-leading Tampa Bay in the Southeast standings.
Carolina helped its cause with a big victory over fellow Southeast member Atlanta on Saturday. Justin Williams scored two goals and John Grahame made 28 saves to lead the 'Canes to a 4-1 decision at Philips Arena.
Ray Whitney had a goal and an assist and Mike Commodore added a goal in the win, Carolina's third in its last four outings.
Ottawa is on a roll as well, as the Senators won for the sixth time in seven games with Saturday's 6-5 triumph over rival Buffalo.
Jason Spezza netted the game-winning goal with 4:07 left to play and also scored earlier in the contest for Ottawa, which avenged a shootout defeat to the Sabres in a fight-marred encounter Thursday in Buffalo.
Dany Heatley picked up a goal and two assists while Daniel Alfredsson scored once and helped out on another for the Senators. Wade Redden and Mike Fisher each contributed a pair of assists to the winning effort.
Fisher and teammate Peter Schaefer, who had an assist on Saturday, are currently riding eight-game scoring streaks. Fisher has 10 points (5 goals, 5 assists) during his run and Schaefer has compiled three goals and five assists.
In addition, Alfredsson (3 goals, 9 assists), Heatley (5 goals, 7 assists) and Spezza (5 goals, 7 assists) have all recorded point in seven straight games.
Ottawa, which presently holds the No. 4 spot in the East, made a minor trade on Monday. The club acquired defenseman Lawrence Nycholat from Washington in exchange for blueliner Andy Hedlund and a sixth-round draft choice.
These teams have split two previous meetings this season, with the visitor emerging victorious each time. The Senators have had good success in Raleigh, having amassed a 7-1-2 (2 ties) in their last 10 visits to the RBC Center.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
