        Stars at Blues: What bettors need to know
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Dallas Stars at St. Louis Blues (-210, 5.5)

        If the Dallas Stars qualify for a postseason berth, they certainly will have earned it. Dallas continues its quest for a playoff spot when it begins a five-game road trip against the league-leading St. Louis Blues on Saturday. The Stars climbed within three points of Phoenix for the second wild card in the Western Conference on Friday with a 7-3 home triumph over Nashville.

        St. Louis has a firm eight-point lead over second-place Chicago in the Central Division and is one point ahead of Boston in the race for the Presidents' Trophy. The Blues' offense has come back to life, scoring five goals in each of the last two games after totaling two tallies in the previous three contests. St. Louis won the first two contests of the five-game season series before Dallas skated to an overtime road victory on March 11.

        TV: 8 p.m. ET, TXA 21 (Dallas), FSN Midwest (St. Louis)

        ABOUT THE STARS (35-27-11): Seven different players scored for Dallas on Friday - including Valeri Nichushkin and Cody Eakin, who tallied nine seconds apart to seal the win. The duo came within two seconds of tying the franchise record for fastest two goals set by Bill Goldsworthy on Nov. 27, 1971, when the club was known as the Minnesota North Stars. Erik Cole missed Friday's contest due to an upper-body injury.

        ABOUT THE BLUES (50-16-7): St. Louis, which kicked off its five-game homestand with a 5-1 triumph over Minnesota on Thursday, has received some stellar performances during its three-game winning streak. After Brian Elliott recorded his 25th career shutout against Pittsburgh, captain David Backes registered his second NHL hat trick versus Toronto and T.J. Oshie notched his first on Thursday. Oshie has posted three-point performances in each of his last two games after being kept off the scoresheet in his previous three contests.

        TRENDS:

        * Stars are 1-4 in the last five meetings in St. Louis.
        * Blues are 8-2 in their last 10 vs. Western Conference.
        * Over is 5-1 in Stars last six games following a win.
        * Over is 14-4-1 in Blues last 19 Saturday games.

        OVERTIME:

        1. The back-to-back hat tricks are the first by St. Louis since December 2000, when Michal Handzus and Pavol Demitra accomplished the feat.

        2. Dallas C Tyler Seguin notched an assist against Nashville to extend his point streak to 11 games. He has collected seven goals and 11 assists during the run.

        3. Stars Ds Trevor Daley and Alex Goligoski posted plus-5 ratings in Saturday's triumph.

          Ondrej Pavelec, Winnipeg - Ques Sat

          Pavelec is nursing a lower-body injury and questionable for Saturday against the kings.


          Sharks, the best first period team, clash with Avalanche

          No team in the NHL is better in the first frame than the San Jose Sharks.

          The Sharks rank first in goals scored during the first period with 75 (six more than second place Ottawa) and have allowed the third-least amount of goals with 42 in the stanza. The 75:42 ratio is the third strongest goals for/goals against ratio for a single period in the NHL.

          The Sharks (-114) will face the Avalanche (+105) Saturday and if you're a San Jose backer make sure to watch the first period intently.

          Bruins look to extend road streak in Washington

          The Boston Bruins' incredible 12-game winning streak ended versus the Montreal Canadiens Monday, but their streak of road wins in still alive and well.

          The B's take a seven-game road winning streak into the Nation's capital to face the Washington Capitals Saturday afternoon. The steak began with a 6-3 win over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on March 2.

          Boston is currently a -129 road fave at the Caps (+119).

                          Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Happy Opening Day, everyone.......

                          13) With due respect to Australians and ESPN, today is Opening Day, not last night, not last week. Opening Day is always exciting, a time everyone is optimistic, even the bad teams. Optimism might not last until Tax Day in a few places but as of this morning, there are 26 teams in first place.

                          12) Is Frank Sinatra really buried with a bottle of Jack Daniels?

                          11) Marquette/South Florida need to get together on this coaching search thing; USF got turned down by Dave Rice, who might get fired by UNLV in a year and pulled the plug on Steve Masiello after they found out his resume wasn't 100% truthful. Internet keeps listing guys Marquette wants to hire as its new coach, but since none of them have been hired, what gives?

                          Steve Wojciehowski is the latest name Marquette has floated as its new coach; if another Coach K assistant gets a bigtime job despite having zero head coaching experience, they're going to force me to do a research project, but we'll wait until he gets hired to do that.

                          10) Richard Sherman and DeSean Jackson once played on the same Little League team. Don't know how that team made out, but I'm guessing their dugout wasn't very quiet.

                          9) MLB Network was tremendous in March, exhibition games every day and all night, really a good station. Probably won't watch it much rest of the season though, since I have the Extra Innings package, which is even better.

                          8) Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins is declaring for NBA Draft today; he scored four points in his last game, a loss to Stanford. He averaged 17.1 ppg and 5.9 rebounds, a solid season but rarely did you watch Kansas and see this player dominating a game. Maybe the NBA style will be more his thing.

                          For me, a kid like this going to college was a joke; he should've been allowed to go to the NBA right from high school, like baseball players can.

                          7) QB Stephen Rivers (Philip's brother) is transferring from LSU; word has it probably to Vanderbilt; he'll be eligible to play this fall, but no one knows how good he is, since he never played at LSU. Jordan Rodgers was Vandy's QB couple years ago, so they're used to having a QB with a famous brother. If only either one of them was as half as good as their brother.

                          6) John Gasaway of ESPN Insider reports that this Final Four's average seed is 4.5, making it the fourth wackiest since 1985. Wackier: 2011 (6.5), 2000 (5.5), 2006 (5.0). Anyone who had UConn in the Final Four is a genius or is somehow related to someone on their team.

                          UConn was down 3 with 0:45 to play in their first tournament game against St Joe's; wonder what their odds of making the Final Four were then?

                          5) Carl Crawford makes $21M a year but doesn't start on my fantasy team in a 16-team keeper league, and my team is mediocre at best in our league. If I cut him, I'm not sure how many teams he would start for, and the guy makes $21M a year!!!! Is his contract the worst one ever?

                          4) Wisconsin-Arizona game Saturday night was a great game; neither team led by more than three points, in the final 18:00 of the game. How many times does that happen?

                          3) So Ray Rice gets indicted for knocking his girlfriend out cold in a casino this winter; the day after he gets indicted, the happy couple gets married. If this world isn't going crazy, then maybe I am.

                          2) Greedy bastard update: prices of unleaded gas at Mobil gas stations:
                          -- corner of Fuller/Central: $3.79
                          -- gutless Sunoco station across street: $3.77-- they're always two cents a gallon cheaper than the Mobil station, like that matters.
                          -- corner of Wolf/Sand Creek, $3.85
                          -- Western Ave by UAlbany: $3.71
                          -- route 9, just south of Siena College, $3.73.

                          Why are the stations by my house more expensive????

                          1) Dodger bullpen gagged away a 1-0 lead (and my fantasy win for Ryu) Sunday night, lost 3-1 in San Diego. Padres' magic number is 162, and thats part of why Opening Day is so great. Padre fans can be dreamers today.
