Hartnell, Boucher lift Flyers to road win over Stars

Hockey Betting Lines

03/18/2010 - Dallas, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Scott Hartnell picked up the winner early in the third period, and Brian Boucher stopped 27 shots, as Philadelphia clipped Dallas, 3-2, at American Airlines Center.

Simon Gagne and Mike Richards also scored for the Flyers, who snapped a two- game slide and pulled into a tie with Ottawa for fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

Boucher made his first start since December 21 and earned his first win since December 14 with the effort. The 33-year-old will be pressed into service for the foreseeable future, as the club learned that previous starting netminder Michael Leighton will miss 8-to-10 weeks with a high left ankle sprain suffered in Tuesday's loss at Nashville.

Steve Ott picked up both goals for the Stars, who have dropped four of five. Kari Lehtonen yielded all three goals on 31 shots in defeat.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
