Hockey Betting Lines

02/15/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos, Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Michael Leighton and Dallas Stars goaltender Marty Turco have been named the NHL's 'Three Stars' for the week ending February 14.

Stamkos grabbed the First Star after leading the league in scoring with nine points -- three goals, six assists -- in four games. He tallied at least two points in each of the contests and is now fourth place in the NHL in goals (35) and seventh in points (70) heading into the Olympic break.

He is also sporting a 13-game point streak, which is tied with Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin for the longest active streak in the league.

Leighton earned the Second Star after helping the Flyers go 4-0-0 this week with home-and-home sweeps of New Jersey and Montreal. He posted a 1.98 goals- against average and a .925 save percentage during the stretch and has posted a 12-3-1 record with Philadelphia this season since being claimed off re-entry waivers from Carolina on December 17.

Turco is the Third Star after posting a 2-0-1 record with a 1.30 GAA for the Stars this week. He recorded a .965 save percentage and his 40th career shutout to help Dallas move within one point of a playoff berth in the West heading into the break.

The 34-year-old Turco is 19-15-9 with a 2.63 GAA for Dallas this season, his ninth with the club.
