02/01/2012 - Sunrise, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mikael Samuelsson tallied twice and Shawn Matthias provided a late insurance goal as Florida doubled up Washington, 4-2, in a battle for Southeast Division supremacy.
Stephen Weiss added a goal and Tomas Fleischmann totaled two assists for the Panthers, who vaulted into first place by one point over the Caps thanks to their second win in three games.
Scott Clemmensen made 26 saves in the victory.
Brooks Laich and John Carlson tallied for the Capitals, who have dropped four of their last five.
Michal Neuvirth allowed three goals on 37 shots for the loss.
Florida went up 2-1 with 4:57 gone in the third on a power play as Samuelsson's harmless wrister from the point sailed past an unscreened Neuvirth.
It was 3-1 just prior to the midway point on a reviewed goal. Tomas Kopecky's chance from the right side of the crease was turned aside, but the rebound was cleared into mid-air, where it caromed in off Weiss' shoulder as he skated into Neuvirth inside the crease.
Though the initial call was no goal, a replay determined there was no intentional motion to direct the puck with his shoulder, nor was there a case for interference.
Though Carlson's blast from between the circles pulled Washington to 3-2 with 2:21 on the clock, Matthias hit the empty net with 53 seconds remaining.
Samuelsson put the hosts on the board at the 33-second mark of the second period when his wrister from center ice clanged off the left post and past Neuvirth.
Laich countered during a 4-on-4, lifting a shot from the left circle home at 11:15.
Game Notes
Florida has won three in a row and four of five on home ice against Washington...The Panthers won despite the absence of forward Kris Versteeg, sidelined with the flu...Samuelsson recorded his first multi-goal effort since February 12, 2011 against Calgary while skating for the Canucks.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.

The most popular sports to bet on are NFL and college football along with NBA and NCAA basketball. There are multiple betting opportunities within those sports, beginning with the basic wager on a game’s outcome (also called betting the side). College Football Point spreads are used in both football and basketball in an attempt to even the attractiveness of each team in a match-up. ( See our article detailing how and why point spreads are made)
But you could also simply bet on the money line, or straight-up winner of the game. Oddsmakers use the money line so that more money must be risked on the favorite or expected winner and less money on the underdog to balance the action on both sides. While money line gambling is an attractive option for football and basketball bettors who only care about picking a winner, it is the primary option for those bettors who enjoy wagering on MLB baseball and individual sports like boxing, tennis, golf and racing events such as NASCAR. ( More details on playing the Money Line)
Another bet across all major team sports including football, basketball, baseball, and hockey involves wagering on the amount of scoring in a game, called an Over/Under total. For example, the Over/Under total on Super Bowl XXXIX was 48, which means a bettor could wager whether there would be more or less than 48 points scored by both teams combined in the game.
The final score of Super Bowl XXXIX was 24-21; the scoring of both teams added up to 45, which means the game went Under . So Under bettors won, and Over bettors lost.
Sports gambling doesn’t end there. Betting sides and totals are the most common wagers available everywhere, but many sportsbooks also offer future bets on big upcoming events like who will win next year’s Super Bowl and what movie will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
The main advantage of futures is that you can get appealing odds by betting far in advance. For example, with NFL futures you often can get much higher odds on a team by betting before the season even starts. A NFL future bet on a team to win the Super Bowl odds might be 20/1 in the preseason; but by midseason, their odds might decrease to 10/1 if they turn out to be legitimate championship contenders.
Involves one individual wager, whether it be on your team to cover the point spread, to win the game straight-up on the money line, or to go over/under the total.
