Chockey Betting Lines

04/06/2007 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nathan Gerbe had two goals and two assists as the Boston College Eagles reached the championship game by defeating the North Dakota Fighting Sioux, 6-4, in the Frozen Four.

Boston College will next due battle with Michigan State, which advanced to its first championship game since 1987 with a 4-2 win over Maine earlier on Thursday.

Dan Bertram also scored twice for the Eagles (29-11-1), while netminder Cory Schneider finished with 26 saves.

Chris Porter scored two goals and T.J. Oshie had a goal and two assists for the Fighting Sioux, who were seeking their first title since 1997. Philippe Lamoureux ended with 39 saves in net for North Dakota.

With the score tied 2-2 after two periods, Boston College took the lead with seven minutes left in the third when Gerbe skated through the North Dakota defense and found Ben Smith for the score.

After a turnover behind the Boston College net, Oshie scored a short-handed goal to tie the game with 4:38 remaining, but just 32 seconds later, Gerbe scored his second of the game on a one-timer from the slot to put the Eagles back in front for good.

Joe Rooney's empty-net goal with 50 seconds left made it 5-3 for Boston College, but Porter scored his second goal of the game on a North Dakota power play and Lamoureux was pulled for the extra attacker.

Gerber, though, iced the game with another empty net goal to seal the win.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
