03/13/2009 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wojtek Wolski notched the winner in the shootout as Colorado nipped Minnesota, 2-1, at Pepsi Center.
Wolski opened the round with a backhander, then Minnesota's Owen Nolan was denied by the right pad of Peter Budaj. Milan Hejduk followed with another successful backhand shot and Budaj stifled Mikko Koivu to lock up the game for Colorado.
"Obviously it's more fun to win, and we've got to win a few more," Hejduk said of his team, which is mired in the Northwest Division basement.
John-Michael Liles picked up the only goal of regulation for the Avalanche, who have won two of three. Budaj had a relatively easy game, stopping 16-of-17 shots.
Marc-Andre Bergeron tallied for the Wild, losers in three of four. Despite 40 saves, Niklas Backstrom suffered the loss.
Bergeron netted a man-advantage goal just after the midway point of the first period, then Liles answered on a power play just 37 seconds into the second period for a 1-1 game.
The Avs failed to net a clincher in the third period or overtime in spite of a combined 17-4 shot advantage over the game's final 25 minutes.
"Our team is great when everybody works hard and plays hard, but when we are passengers, we do not play well," said Wild head coach Jacques Lemaire.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
