10/02/2008 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Red Wings veteran defenseman Chris Chelios suffered a fractured right tibia and will be out of the Detroit lineup for three-to-six weeks.
Chelios suffered the injury while blocking a shot during the third period of Tuesday's preseason loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
Earlier this month the 46-year-old Chelios signed a one-year deal to return for his 25th NHL season.
Chelios had three goals and 12 points in 69 regular-season games for the Wings in 2007-08. However, due to a nagging knee injury, he was limited to zero points in 14 playoff games and did not skate at all in the six-game Stanley Cup Finals as the Wings topped the upstart Pittsburgh Penguins.
Over 1,616 NHL games, Chelios has recorded 185 goals, 948 points and 2,873 penalty minutes.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
| Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame) Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma) Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State) Michael Bush (RB, Louisville) Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia) Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) Chris Leak (QB, Florida) Mike Hart (RB, Michigan) Ted Ginn (WR, Ohio State) Darius Walker (RB, Notre Dame) Drew Tate (QB, Iowa) Marshawn Lynch (RB, Cal) Kenny Irons (RB, Auburn) Chad Henne (QB, Michigan) Kyle Wright (QB, Miami) Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State) Kenneth Darby (RB, Alabama) JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU) Drew Weatherford (QB, Florida State) Blake Mitchell (QB, South Carolina) Reggie Ball (QB, Georgia Tech) |
