10/30/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Minnesota Wild will aim to remain perfect at home tonight, when they welcome the Pittsburgh Penguins to the Xcel Energy Center.
The Wild are 4-0 as the host this season, beginning the 2007-08 campaign with three straight wins at Xcel Energy Center. The club also bested Colorado on October 21 at home, but that was the last time the Wild posted a victory.
After that win, Minnesota hit the road for a three-game trip through the Northwest Division and lost all three contests. That includes a 3-1 setback in Colorado in the trek's finale on Sunday.
Eric Belanger had the only goal for the Wild and Josh Harding stopped 27 shots in the loss.
Minnesota has been struggling since opening the season with five consecutive wins, losing three straight and four of its last six games. However, two of those losses came in a shootout.
To make matters worse, both Marian Gaborik and Pavol Demitra missed the contest with groin injuries, hurting the offense. Gaborik is questionable for tonight, while Demitra is doubtful to play.
Harding, meanwhile, was playing in place of Niklas Backstrom, who is also nursing a groin ailment.
Minnesota will also host St. Louis, Calgary and Edmonton on its current stand.
The Penguins come into this contest on a two-game winning streak and kick off a four-game road trip tonight.
After losing to Toronto on Thursday, Pittsburgh fell to Montreal, 4-3, in a shootout on Saturday. The Canadiens Andrei Markov ended a lengthy shootout with the lone goal of the extra session, beating Dany Sabourin with a backhander through the pads.
Sabourin stopped all 13 shots he faced in relief of Marc-Andre Fleury, who gave up three goals on 15 shots before being lifted in the second period. Pittsburgh's Ryan Whitney forced the extra action with a goal with 1:52 left in the third.
Petr Sykora and Whitney each had a goal and an assist, while Sidney Crosby also tallied for Pittsburgh. With the goal, Crosby extended his points streak to nine games, posting four goals and nine assists in that span.
Pittsburgh will be playing its fourth road contest of the season and is 2-1 as the visitor thus far. The Pens will also visit Colorado, the New York Islanders and New Jersey on this trip.
These two clubs will be meeting for the first time since a 5-0 Wild win in Pittsburgh back on December 8, 2005. Minnesota is 5-1 with a tie all-time versus the Penguins, including 2-0 with a tie at home.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
