(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Despite three straight losses, including back-to-back shootout defeats, the Minnesota Wild are still sitting comfortably atop the Northwest Division standings. The Vancouver Canucks are right on Minnesota's tail and will try to add to the Wild's misery when the two division inhabitants collide tonight at Rogers Arena. Minnesota is five points (45) ahead of Vancouver for the division lead and has the second-most points in the NHL behind Chicago (46).
Minnesota is winless in its last three games since ripping off seven consecutive victories and suffered a 2-1 shootout loss versus the New York Islanders on Saturday at home. Cal Clutterbuck scored in the third period to send the game into overtime and Niklas Backstrom made 35 saves for the Wild, who have lost three straight for the first time since April 2-7, 2010.
Wild forwards Mikko Koivu (leg) and Casey Wellman (wrist) missed the game and are questionable for tonight. Center Pierre-Marc Bouchard (nose/lip) is also questionable and goaltender Josh Harding (head/neck) is expected to be available for this evening's game.
Clutterbuck has two goals and three assists in his last five contests.

The most popular sports to bet on are NFL and college football along with NBA and NCAA basketball. There are multiple betting opportunities within those sports, beginning with the basic wager on a game’s outcome (also called betting the side). College Football Point spreads are used in both football and basketball in an attempt to even the attractiveness of each team in a match-up. ( See our article detailing how and why point spreads are made)
But you could also simply bet on the money line, or straight-up winner of the game. Oddsmakers use the money line so that more money must be risked on the favorite or expected winner and less money on the underdog to balance the action on both sides. While money line gambling is an attractive option for football and basketball bettors who only care about picking a winner, it is the primary option for those bettors who enjoy wagering on MLB baseball and individual sports like boxing, tennis, golf and racing events such as NASCAR. ( More details on playing the Money Line)
Another bet across all major team sports including football, basketball, baseball, and hockey involves wagering on the amount of scoring in a game, called an Over/Under total. For example, the Over/Under total on Super Bowl XXXIX was 48, which means a bettor could wager whether there would be more or less than 48 points scored by both teams combined in the game.
The final score of Super Bowl XXXIX was 24-21; the scoring of both teams added up to 45, which means the game went Under . So Under bettors won, and Over bettors lost.
Sports gambling doesn’t end there. Betting sides and totals are the most common wagers available everywhere, but many sportsbooks also offer future bets on big upcoming events like who will win next year’s Super Bowl and what movie will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
The main advantage of futures is that you can get appealing odds by betting far in advance. For example, with NFL futures you often can get much higher odds on a team by betting before the season even starts. A NFL future bet on a team to win the Super Bowl odds might be 20/1 in the preseason; but by midseason, their odds might decrease to 10/1 if they turn out to be legitimate championship contenders.
Involves one individual wager, whether it be on your team to cover the point spread, to win the game straight-up on the money line, or to go over/under the total.
