      What bettors need to know: Friday's NHL playoff action
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Buffalo Sabres at Philadelphia Flyers (-155, 5.5)

      Series tied 2-2

      THE STORY: When Ryan Miller is on his game, he can render an opposing team powerless. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner recorded his second shutout in four contests as the seventh-seeded Buffalo Sabres pulled even with the Atlantic Division champion Philadelphia Flyers in their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with 1-0 triumph in Game 4 on Wednesday. On Friday, the teams will reconvene for Game 5 in the City of Brotherly Love, where the clubs split the first two meetings. Miller, who stopped all 35 shots he faced in a 1-0 victory in Game 1, turned aside 32 shots on Wednesday. The Olympic netminder denied former Sabres captain Daniel Briere and current Flyers captain Mike Richards on point-blank chances late in the third period to preserve the shutout on Wednesday.

      TV: 7:30 ET, VERSUS, TSN

      ABOUT THE SABRES: Jason Pominville scored the lone goal of the game on Wednesday for his first tally of the series and 12th career in the playoffs. Pominville tapped in a brilliant feed from veteran Rob Niedermayer at 9:38 of the first period. Miller wasn't the only one to make a save for the Sabres on Wednesday. Towering defenseman Tyler Myers denied James van Riemsdyk on a point-blank shot with Miller temporarily out of position. The puck deflected off Myers and over the net. For his part, Miller became the third Buffalo goaltender to have two shutouts in one series - joining Bob Sauve (vs. Montreal, 1983) and Dominik Hasek (vs. New Jersey, 1994).

      ABOUT THE FLYERS: Philadelphia didn't just lose a game - it may have lost Jeff Carter for an extended period of time. The talented center injured his right knee following a collision with Myers with two minutes remaining in the first period. Carter did not return to the contest and is listed as day-to-day. That is also the status for stud defenseman Chris Pronger, who has absent since March 8 with a broken right hand. Brian Boucher turned in his second strong outing since relieving rookie Sergei Bobrovsky. The 34-year-old Rhode Island native, who made 28 saves on Wednesday, permitted four goals on 87 shots in the series. Van Riemsdyk collected a team-high six shots on game in Game 3.

      WHO'S HOT/WHO’S NOT: Buffalo center Tyler Ennis, who notched an assist on Wednesday, has one goal and five assists in his last six contests. Briere has four goals and three assists in his last six games.

      SPECIAL TEAMS: Neither team is setting the world on fire with its power play. Philadelphia failed to score on all three chances in Game 3 and is now 2-for-21 in the series. For its part, Buffalo went 0-for-4 on the power play in Game 3 and is 3-for-19 in the series.

      TRENDS:

      * Over is 13-2-1 in the last 16 meetings in Philadelphia.
      * Over is 21-7-1 in the last 29 meetings.
      * Flyers are 8-2 in their last 10 playoff games as favorites.
      * Sabres are 2-9 in their last 11 playoff games as underdogs.

      LAST WORD: The Flyers and Sabres have had five two-man advantages during this series - and have yet to score. Philadelphia is 0-for-3 in just over 2 1/2 minutes of 5-on-3 play, while Buffalo is 0-for-2 in 1:37 of a two-man advantage.



      Nashville Predators at Anaheim Ducks (-140, 5)

      Series tied 2-2

      THE STORY: A roller-coaster series between the Ducks and Predators returns to Anaheim for Game 5 on Friday night. The Ducks used three third-period goals to earn a 6-3 victory in Game 4 Wednesday night in Nashville to even the best-of-seven first-round matchup at two wins apiece.

      TV: 10 p.m. ET, TSN, RDS, Versus, Prime, Comcast Sports Tennessee

      ABOUT THE DUCKS: Anaheim victimized Nashville netminder Pekka Rinne in Game 4, beating him six times to swing the momentum back in its favor. Rocket Richard Trophy winner Corey Perry led the way, scoring the shorthanded game winner early in the third period and adding two assists. Reclaiming home-ice advantage was pivotal for the Ducks, who will play two of the final three games of the series in Anaheim. The Ducks will also have Bobby Ryan back in the lineup Friday. The veteran forward missed both games in Nashville after being suspended for stomping on the foot of Nashville's Jonathon Blum with his skate. With the rest of Anaheim's forwards looking as dangerous as ever, Ryan's return will only increase the pressure put on Rinne and the Nashville defense.

      ABOUT THE PREDATORS: Defensive breakdowns and shoddy goaltending torpedoed any chance the Predators had of returning to California with a 3-1 edge in the series. After the game, Nashville coach Barry Trotz ripped into his team for its subpar performance. "All game I thought we were just making major blunders, poor decisions," he said. Making things worse for Nashville is the potential loss of forward Martin Erat, who was leveled on an open-ice hit by Jarkko Ruutu in the second period and lay flat on the ice for several minutes. He left with an upper-body injury and did not return, and his status for the remainder of the series is still up in the air. It has been a rough series for Erat, who lost four teeth after taking a butt end in the mouth in Game 2.

      WHO'S HOT/WHO'S NOT: Ducks F Teemu Selanne's second-period tally was his league-leading fifth of the postseason and the 40th of his career. Nashville's Shea Weber has been the best defenseman on either team. He has four points, a +2 rating, nine hits and six blocked shots so far in the series.

      SPECIAL TEAMS: Both teams have been strong with the man advantage. Anaheim is second in the playoffs at 33.3 percent (6 for 18), while Nashville is sixth at 23.8 percent (5 for 21).

      TRENDS:

      * Over is 2-0-2 in the last four meetings in Anaheim.
      * Over is 5-0-2 in the last seven meetings.
      * Favorite is 18-7 in the last 25 meetings.
      * Home team is 17-8 in the last 25 meetings.
      * Predators are 7-19 in the last 26 meetings in Anaheim.

      LAST WORD: "A special player making a special play. Very, very fortunate. Anytime you can score a goal shorthanded, you've got to feel pretty lucky." - Ducks coach Randy Carlyle on Perry's go-ahead goal.

        Ice picks: Friday's best NHL bets
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Buffalo Sabres at Philadelphia Flyers (-155, 5.5)

        Sabres coach Lindy Ruff can’t wait to see if his gamble will continue to pay off. The coach reshuffled his lines ahead of Game 4 against the Flyers and his team wound up with a 1-0 victory while forward Jason Pominville notched his first goal of the series.

        Now, Ruff must decide whether to ride the momentum of a group that fired 29 shots on net or keep shuffling to find more goals.

        "I really felt at even strength we needed more out of our top players," Ruff said. "I just tried to put some workers with some of our goal scorers, balance everything out knowing it's really going to be a long series."

        During the first three games, Buffalo led for fewer than 15 minutes. In the 1-0 Game 4 win, the team held the slimmest of advantages for around 50 minutes. If Ruff keeps his combinations, it will now be up to star forward Thomas Vanek to find the back of the net.

        Vanek, who is minus-4 with no even-strength goals in the series, now skates on the wing with Paul Gaustad and Patrick Kaleta.

        The trio likely will have to face Flyers' defender Chris Pronger, who is making his long-awaited return from a hand injury. However, it should take him most of the game to regain his legs and become acclimated to the speed of a playoff game.

        Ruff’s shuffling should continue to pay off.

        Pick: Buffalo


        Nashville Predators at Anaheim Ducks (-140, 5)


        The way Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne and Anaheim keeper Ray Emery are playing, their teams have to be thinking about just setting up some orange cones or an empty trash can between the pipes and calling it a day.

        Cones or a can couldn’t do much worse.

        Rinne allowed every goal in a 6-3 setback in Game 4. In the loss, he conceded all six scores on just 29 shots. For the series, he has allowed 14 goals in only four games. Still, his team says it has faith in him – even if that faith must be shaky after he saw the red light glow behind him three times in the third period of Game 4 before getting pulled.

        "He’s made some big saves when he’s had to," Predators forward Steve Sullivan said of Rinne. "We gave up way too many shots and way too many chances. Sometimes you have to clap your hands to the guys who are shooting pucks. Some of those pucks, no goaltender in the world could save."

        And it’s not like Ray Emery has been a brick wall.

        After reemerging from the AHL this season to help bolster the Anaheim goaltending corps, he has been mediocre at best in three postseason starts. The past three games he has been tagged for 10 goals.

        "I just try my best out there, and sometimes it's not pretty," Emery said. "But if you grind it out, you get lucky sometimes."

        The only people getting lucky will be the ones cashing the over for this one.

        Pick: Over

                ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Hot lines: Friday’s best MLB bets
                ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                Colorado Rockies at Florida Marlins (104, 8.5)

                The Rockies are 13-5 (tied for the best record in the bigs with Cleveland) heading into Friday’s trip to Florida, and a big reason why is the right arm of Jhoulys Chacin.

                Having emerged on the scene with a strong rookie campaign in 2010 (9-11, 3.28 ERA), Chacin appears to be taking it to the next level this season. The 23-year-old has won all three of his starts and registers at 3-0 with a stellar 1.64 ERA while striking out 14 in 22 innings.

                Chacin’s last outing—a whole week ago (so he will be more than well-rested)—saw him befuddle the Cubs in a complete-game shutout during which he allowed six hits and struck out seven against two walks.

                Colorado has cooled off just a bit following a stretch of 11 wins in 12 games, but the bats woke up again on Wednesday. Ty Wigginton and Ryan Spilborghs each belted three-run jacks and Troy Tulowitzki had three hits as the Rockers hammered San Francisco 10-2.

                They should have a good chance of keeping it up against struggling Marlins’ starter Anibal Sanchez. The right-hander is 0-1 and his ERA is a bloated 5.51 after three starts and 16.1 innings of work.

                Pick: Rockies



                Boston Red Sox at Los Angeles Angels (104, 7)


                L.A.’s Dan Haren took the mound on Sunday against the White Sox, going 6.1 innings and allowing just two runs and seven hits while striking out six. He also picked up the win, and yet it was still his worst outing of the season.

                That’s just how good Haren has been through five appearances. In 31 innings he has given up a mere four runs (1.16 ERA) on 18 hits while mowing down 27 batters and walking a mere two. Haren is 4-0, having won three of four starts plus one no-decision while also getting a relief win in a 14-inning marathon against Toronto on April 9.

                “So far I've done a good job of keeping the defense in the game, minimizing walks and working ahead in the count,” the Miami Herald reported Haren as saying. The right-hander was named American League Player of the Week on Monday along with Tampa Bay’s Johnny Damon. “That's my game,” he added, “it's nothing fancy.”

                It has sure looked fancy up to this point, though, and it’s probably not what the Red Sox want to see as they try to emerge from the AL East cellar. Boston is 6-11 for its 2011 campaign as of Thursday evening and the team is an amazingly bad 1-7 on the road.

                Pick: Angels
