02/20/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The first-place Tampa Bay Lightning will attempt to avenge a weekend loss to the Florida Panthers when the Southeast Division rivals complete a home-and-home series tonight at St. Pete Times Forum.
Florida got the upper hand in Saturday's opener, as Nathan Horton scored 29 seconds into overtime to lift the Panthers to a 5-4 decision over the Lightning.
Steven Weiss had a goal and two assists while Ed Belfour needed to make only 16 saves in the victory, Florida's third in four games.
Despite their recent surge, the Panthers still remain well behind in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Florida sits in 13th place overall and is nine points in back of Montreal, the New York Islanders and Toronto, all of whom are presently tied for the East's final postseason spot.
Ruslan Salei, Bryan Allen and Ville Peltonen also lit the lamp to help the Panthers end Tampa Bay's three-game win streak.
The Lightning did manage a point in the defeat, which pushed the resurgent club into a first-place tie with the slumping Atlanta Thrashers in the Southeast. Both teams have 69 total points, but Tampa Bay has played one fewer game.
Martin St. Louis had two goals in Saturday's setback, while Dan Boyle finished with a goal and an assist for the Lightning. Vincent Lecavalier, the NHL's leading goal scorer this season, and Vaclav Prospal each registered a pair of assists on the evening.
The loss was only Tampa's second in its last nine outings (7-1-1).
The Lightning carry a four-game home win streak into tonight's test and are 16-13-0 at the St. Pete Times Forum this season. Florida, meanwhile, owns an ugly 7-16-8 mark away from home and is tied with Calgary for the fewest road wins in the NHL.
The Panthers have won seven of the last 10 meetings between the clubs and evened this year's season series at 2-2 with Saturday's triumph. Florida has lost two straight against the Lightning on the road, though.

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.
