Smith, Malkin, Perron named NHL's 'Three Stars'
Hockey Betting Lines
02/13/2012 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Phoenix Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith, Pittsburgh center Evgeni Malkin and St. Louis left wing David Perron have been selected as the NHL's 'Three Stars' for the week ending February 12.
Smith won each of his four starts last week with a league-best goals-against average of 0.74 and a .975 save percentage to earn the First-Star honor. He yielded just one goal in each of his first three starts, then turned aside 38 shots in a 3-0 whitewash of Chicago on Saturday.
The 29-year-old netminder has a career-best 23 wins and .925 save percentage in 44 appearances for Phoenix this season.
Malkin was chosen as the Second Star after leading all skaters with eight points in three games last week. He notched three goals with five assists and posted a plus-six rating. His stellar weekend included a goal and four assists in Saturday's victory over Winnipeg and two goals in Sunday's triumph over Tampa Bay.
The 2008-09 NHL scoring champion leads the league with 69 points this season.
Perron picked up the Third Star after leading the league with six goals in four games last week. He scored at least once in each game, including two-goal efforts in wins over Ottawa and Colorado.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
