Habs send Kostitsyn to Nashville for two players

Hockey Betting Lines

06/29/2010 - Montreal, Quebec (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Montreal Canadiens traded forward Sergei Kostitsyn to Nashville for forward Dustin Boyd and goaltender Dan Ellis, the club announced on Tuesday.

All the players' contracts are set to expire on Thursday.

In addition, both teams will also swap future considerations and a fifth-round conditional pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft could be sent from one team to the other depending on whether each player signs with his new team or if his rights end up being dealt.

The 30-year-old Ellis, an unrestricted free agent, could help fill a void between the pipes due to the departure of Jaroslav Halak, who was shipped to St. Louis on June 17.

Ellis' performance has dropped off in the last two seasons after he posted a career-high 23 wins to go with a 2.34 goals against average and .924 save percentage in the 2007-08 campaign. In 111 career NHL contests, the netminder is 50-42-8 with a 2.64 GAA and .912 save percentage with 10 shutouts.

Boyd, 23, spent time with Calgary and Nashville last season and tallied 11 goals and 13 assists in 78 games. He is also an unrestricted free agent. He has appeared in 210 career games and has 31 goals and 62 points.

The 23-year-old Kostitsyn, who is a restricted free agent, skated 47 regular season games with the Canadiens in 2009-10 and totaled seven goals and 11 assists. In three seasons, spanning 155 contests, the 6-foot 210-pound winger registered 24 goals and 44 helpers.

A native of Belarus, Kostitsyn was selected in the sixth round of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. His brother Andrei has been with the Montreal organization since being taken with the 10th overall choice in the 2003 draft.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
