Islanders acquire Bergeron from Edmonton

Hockey Betting Lines

02/18/2007 - Uniondale, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Islanders have acquired defenseman Marc-Andre Bergeron and a third-round pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for defenseman Denis Grebeshkov.

Bergeron appeared in 55 games for Edmonton this season and compiled eight goals with 17 assists for 25 points. The puck-moving blueliner was the club's leading scorer among defensemen and had spent each of his four NHL seasons with the Oilers.

"This trade addresses our need for a quality offensive defenseman to improve our power play," said Islanders general manager Garth Snow in a release. "Marc-Andre is an excellent point man, a very good skater and a solid competitor. We like the fact that, at 26, he's just entering his prime."

In 189 career NHL games, Bergeron has scored 33 goals with 55 assists for 88 points. He helped Edmonton to the Stanley Cup Finals last season, notching two goals with one assist in 18 playoff games.

Grebeshkov had three assists in 21 games with the Islanders last season after being acquired from the Los Angeles Kings at the trade deadline. The 23-year- old is playing this season in his native Russia.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
