Taking a trip around the rink . . .
The National Hockey League has a half-dozen games on its schedule for Monday, including the Penguins on the road in Long Island. Pittsburgh took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission against the Maple Leafs on Saturday night, but then saw Toronto score six straight goals in a 6-2 Pens loss. The Islanders were also pounded in their last outing, as they fell 5-1 to the Flyers Saturday afternoon.
The Rangers will travel to St. Louis to take on the Blues on Monday night, while the Blue Jackets play host to the Stars, the Predators get a visit from the Senators, and the Oilers travel south to Phoenix to meet the Coyotes. As well, the Thrashers will be in Los Angeles to take on the Kings in a battle of two of the league's worst teams; that game rounds out the night's schedule at 10:30pm ET.
Rounding out the Roundup . . .
The bulk of the college hoops regular season concludes on Sunday, March 8, and the conference tournaments and March Madness will then take over the schedule. Oddsmakers have North Carolina pegged as the favorite to win the NCAA Tournament this year, with No. 1 Connecticut just behind them on that list. Pittsburgh and Duke hold down some top odds as well to take the championship.
