03/09/2010 - St. Paul, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cory Stillman forced overtime with a third- period equalizer, then snuck a shot inside the left post for the lone score in the shootout, as Florida downed Minnesota, 3-2, to snap a seven-game winless stretch in the series.
Stillman scored with 9:20 to go in regulation and capped the fourth round of the shootout with the game-winner to build off of Michael Frolik's third- period tally and complete the comeback from down two for Florida's third straight win.
Tomas Vokoun's outing was relatively uneventful playing behind a stingy Panther defense corps that allowed a franchise record-low 11 shots by the Wild.
The Panthers won their first road game since January 14, snapping a six-game losing streak away from home, and toppled Minnesota for only the second time in the team's history. Florida won on Minnesota's home ice for the first time with its only other win in the series coming back on February 7, 2001.
Mikko Koivu and Robbie Earl scored for the Wild, who got 29 saves from Niklas Backstrom and dropped their third straight game.
Koivu's power-play marker popped the water bottle from the left circle three minutes into the game and Earl's solid wrister found space under Vokoun's arm to make it 2-0 at the 11:01 mark of the first.
A scoreless second saw Vokoun tested with just three shots, while Backstrom turned aside nine.
Frolik broke through for the Panthers just over two minutes into the third, taking a long outlet pass through the neutral zone from Bryan McCabe and going in solo to beat Backstrom up high.
Stillman received a drop pass from Steven Reinprecht in the slot and ripped a shot to the top right corner through two defenders to tie the game at 2-2.
Game Notes
The Panthers had been 0-3 with a tie in their four previous trips to St. Paul...Minnesota has dropped four of its last five game at home...Florida went 0-for-4 on the power play, while the Wild converted their lone chance.

In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.
It is called the "pointspread."
Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.
But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.
A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.
In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.
The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
