02/20/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - In two games as a member of the Nashville Predators, Peter Forsberg has yet to record a point. But judging by the team's performance Monday against the Phoenix Coyotes, there's little to reason for Music City fans to panic.
The star center understandably struggled in his Predators' debut, recording just a single shot on goal and a minus-one rating in Saturday's 4-1 home loss to Minnesota. Forsberg was noticeably more comfortable with new linemates Paul Kariya -- a teammate of his in Colorado during the 2003-04 season -- and Martin Erat, and it showed in Monday's results.
Although the trio failed to score on the evening, Nashville's new top line generated a wealth of opportunities and dominated for most of its time on the ice. The unit put up nine shots on Monday, five coming off the stick of Forsberg.
"The Forsberg line could've had three or four goals, easy," said Predators head coach Barry Trotz. "They were all over the offensive zone tonight. They didn't get (any goals), but they were dangerous, and that's what you ask."
The addition of the five-time All-Star has already had a positive trickle-down effect on the rest of the offense. David Legwand, who had been centering the Kariya-Erat line, was placed between Scott Hartnell and Alexander Radulov following Forsberg's arrival to give the Predators three dangerous lines.
Legwand and Hartnell have had success together in the past, and the duo clicked once again in the 4-1 triumph over the Coyotes. Hartnell scored two goals within a 23-second span in the second period, with Legwand springing him for a breakaway on the last tally.
"He's a great player," said Hartnell of Legwand. "He opens up a lot of ice for you. He skates so hard, skates so well, and he can put the puck on your tape too. It's pretty nice and I'm happy to be back with him."
Hartnell's pair on Monday gave him 21 markers for the campaign, making him the fourth Predator to reach the 20-goal plateau this season. Steve Sullivan and Jason Arnott also have 21, while Legwand has a career-best 20.
Nashville, which regained possession of first place in the Central Division with Monday's triumph, will host Montreal on Thursday before wrapping up a four-game homestand with a crucial matchup against rival Detroit on Saturday.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
