02/20/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - While the Los Angeles Kings are all but out of this year's playoff race, they will get an opportunity to put a damper on some other team's chances as well.
This past weekend, the Kings managed to split a home-and-home series with the Pacific-leading Anaheim Ducks. Both games went to a shootout with the Kings' win coming on the Ducks' home ice Sunday.
Los Angeles also posted a win over the conference-leading Nashville Predators last Saturday and over the next two weeks will face Vancouver, which currently leads the Northwest Division, and a Colorado squad fighting for its playoff lives. The Kings will also again play Anaheim and Nashville in that span.
All four of those tilts will be at home for the Kings where they are 11-12-8 as of Tuesday. Los Angeles, though, has lost six in a row at home with its last win at the Staples Center coming on January 6 against Detroit.
The Kings are just 7-14-3 in divisional games this year, but if they can score some wins over the Ducks and Sharks, the teams currently first and second in the Pacific respectively, it will create some nice rivalries within the standings and give the Kings some confidence and momentum heading into division play next year.
Los Angeles also made a move to help its team out in the long run as they inked 33-year-old center Derek Armstrong to a two-year contract extension last Wednesday.
Armstrong has 10 goals and a career-high 30 assists in 55 games so far this year and is a stabilizing force on the ice with a plus-16 rating. His veteran knowledge should help the Kings' young players develop as the club rebuilds.
Armstrong has played in 327 career games with the Kings, New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators and New York Islanders, scoring 58 goals and picking up 115 assists.
On the injury front, captain Mattias Norstrom missed his first game of the season when he sat out Sunday's win over the Ducks with a knee injury. The defenseman has just two goals and seven assists in 60 games and is a career- worse minus-17 on the season.

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.
NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
