01/17/2009 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Shawn Horcoff's third period tally was the difference, and the Edmonton Oilers narrowly edged the Colorado Avalanche, 3-2, at the Pepsi Center.
Steve Staios and Tom Gilbert also scored for the Oilers, who have won three of four. Mathieu Garon made 37 saves, as Edmonton snapped a five-game road losing streak to the Avalanche.
Tyler Arnason and T.J. Hensick provided the offense for Colorado, which has lost three straight after a three-game win streak. Andrew Raycroft allowed all three goals on 37 shots to take the loss.
The Oilers got on the board quickly, as Staios notched his second goal of the season just 2:10 into the contest.
Colorado tied the score on Arnason's third of the year at 16:22, but Gilbert put Edmonton back ahead on a power-play goal with just 37 seconds to go in the opening period.
The Avs tied the game again in the second, as Hensick streaked down the right side of the ice and fired a wrist shot past Garon at the 12:28 mark.
A frantic sequence of events led to the Oilers' game-winning goal in the third. Raycroft came out to play a puck outside of the crease, but his pass went right to an Edmonton player. Raycroft quickly found himself out of position, and Horcoff scored from a wide angle with 6:35 left to play.
Raycroft was pulled with 1:13 left in an attempt to equalize the game, but several Colorado offensive chances were unsuccessful, and the Oilers skated away with the win.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
