12/20/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - In a season filled with losses and injuries, Loui Eriksson is providing the Stars with a little bit of excitement. The 23-year-old will try to light the lamp for a third straight game tonight in Dallas' road matchup with the Ottawa Senators at Scotiabank Place.
Eriksson followed up the third two-goal game of his season with his first- career hat trick on Thursday in a 6-5 shootout win over Columbus. The Swede's five-goal outburst over his last two games has given him a career-high 17 markers on the season. He netted 14 goals in 69 games last year after notching six in his 59-game rookie season in 2006-07.
Brad Richards also scored on Thursday in addition to posting three assists. He found the back of the net as Dallas' first skater in the shootout as well and Mike Ribeiro, who had a pair of assists in regulation, later sealed the win with a goal of his own in the extra session.
Marty Turco made 23 saves prior to the shootout, though Columbus felt he was bailed out by a bad call. The Blue Jackets' Manny Malhotra appeared to have won the game 13 seconds into overtime, but it was ruled by the officials that he used a kicking motion to direct the puck into the net.
Dallas' victory was its second in a row and sixth in its last nine games, though the team is still last in the Pacific Division with 30 points just one season after its run to the Western Conference finals.
However, injuries to Jere Lehtinen (upper body), captain Brenden Morrow (knee) and Sergei Zubov (hip) amongst others have slowed down the club. Zubov, in fact, will undergo surgery that will sideline him indefinitely.
Steve Ott (hand) and Joel Lundqvist (shoulder) were activated from injured reserve prior to Thursday's game, with Lundqvist providing two assists.
Dallas is 6-9-1 on the road this year and will also host Toronto on Tuesday.
Goal scoring has been a problem for Ottawa this year, including last night when they were handed a 5-1 setback by New Jersey. It was the Senators second straight loss and fifth in six games. They are getting outscored 20-8 over that time span.
Jarkko Ruutu had the only goal for Ottawa, a short-handed tally off assists from Chris Kelly and Chris Phillips. Alex Auld surrendered all five goals on 26 shots in the loss.
The defeat dropped the Senators to 3-8-2 on the road this year, but the club is a much better 8-6-3 as the host. However, following tonight's game Ottawa will play its next eight games on the road and won't return to Scotiabank Place until January 10.
The Stars have won three of their last five versus the Senators, but lost the most recent matchup, 4-2, in Dallas on December 7 of last season.

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
