Hockey Betting Lines

07/01/2010 - Buffalo, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Buffalo Sabres filled one vacancy on defense Thursday, signing free-agent Jordan Leopold to a three-year deal.

Leopold split last season between Florida and Pittsburgh, racking up 11 goals and 26 points in 81 contests but was a minus-two.

A former second-round choice of Anaheim back in 1999, the 29-year-old Minnesota native has produced 40 goals and 135 points in 436 NHL games with the Flames, Avalanche, Panthers and Penguins since breaking into the league in 2002.

The signing was the first step in offsetting the departures of Toni Lydman, who left for a three-year deal with the Anaheim Ducks and Henrik Tallinder, who fled to New Jersey.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
