03/15/2009 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brad Boyes had a goal and an assist, and the St. Louis Blues dealt another blow to Minnesota's playoff hopes by topping the Wild, 5-3.
Keith Tkachuk, Brad Winchester, David Backes and David Perron scored for the Blues, who have won seven of 10 overall. Chris Mason made 19 saves to earn the victory.
Andrew Brunette, Stephane Veilleux and Marc-Andre Bergeron tallied a goal apiece for the Wild, who have lost four straight and five of six to remain a point out of playoff contention, behind Edmonton and Nashville. Niklas Backstrom allowed four goals on 29 shots in the first two periods to receive the loss, and Josh Harding made six saves in a perfect third.
The Blues scored the game's first goal at the 14:44 mark of the first. Backes emerged from a scrum in front of the net with the puck and fluttered it toward the net. Backstrom fanned on an attempted glove save, as he watched the puck go behind him.
In a 1:17 span early in the second period, Cal Clutterbuck was given a double minor for high sticking, and Marek Zidlicky was whistled for a delay-of-game and St. Louis capitalized with a pair of 5-on-3 scores. Tkachuk made it 2-0 after stuffing home a rebound at the 6:37 mark, and a wrister by Perron from the left circle gave the Blues a 3-0 edge 1:31 later.
Minnesota got one of the goals back late in the middle frame. With 5:02 left to play, Brunette found a loose puck out in front of the net and hammered it home before Mason was able to locate it.
Winchester tallied for St. Louis with 30 seconds left to restore the team's three-goal lead, 4-1, at the end of two periods.
The Wild mounted a late comeback, with Veilleux scoring at 7:50 of the third and Bergeron tallying on a wrister with 5:36 left to play.
Backstrom was pulled in the final minute, but Boyes sealed it with an empty- net goal for St. Louis.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.
Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.
According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).
Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.
''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.
Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.
''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''
Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.
”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
