02/11/2012 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan O'Reilly scored the game-winner with 1.2 seconds left in overtime to give the Colorado Avalanche a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.
With time winding down, O'Reilly picked the pocket of Justin Faulk in the neutral zone and skated the other way. From the left wing, O'Reilly cranked a shot that beat Cam Ward to the left side for the win.
"I looked up and saw four seconds on the clock," said O'Reilly. "I managed to get the shot off on time and got lucky with it."
Paul Stastny had a goal and an assist for the Avalanche, who have won two straight. Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped 39 shots in the win.
Eric Staal had a goal and an assist, while Ward made 29 stops for the Hurricanes, who have dropped their past two.
"We have to get better when we have our opportunities," said Staal. "We have to get in front of the net more. I liked our game tonight, especially in the first two periods. But our power play has to do a better job, especially with chances in the last five minutes."
Carolina scored 7:22 into the first period on Tim Brent's eighth of the year, but Colorado tied it with 54 seconds left in the first off a wrister from Gabriel Landeskog at the left circle.
The Hurricanes, though, got a goal from Jiri Tlusty just 31 seconds later to take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission.
Colorado tied the game 3:15 into the second on a tic-tac-toe play as David Jones sent a pass from the left wing to the right wing where Stastny sent it back to the slot and Milan Hejduk redirected it in.
Carolina again took the lead with 4:29 to play in the second on Staal's 14th of the year, but Stastny tied the game when he got the puck in the slot off a backhand pass from Jones behind the net and shifted to the backhand before sliding it in.

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.
