Hockey Betting Lines

Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Blackhawks gained a veteran center on Friday by acquiring Brendan Morrison from the Calgary Flames in exchange for defenseman Brian Connelly. The 36-year-old Morrison had spent the past 1 1/2 seasons with the Flames and had totaled four goals and seven assists in 28 contests this season. In 923 games, with New Jersey, Vancouver, Dallas, Anaheim, Washington, and the Flames, he has collected 200 goals and 401 assists.

 

Connelly, 25, has spent parts of the last four seasons as a member of the American Hockey League's Rockford IceHogs. During that time, he has compiled 21 goals and 105 assists in 211 regular-season games.

 

"We're looking forward to bringing our All-Star celebration to Columbus," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said. "The Blue Jackets did a great job of hosting the NHL Draft in 2007, and I have no doubt they will raise the bar even higher when they welcome our All-Star celebration next January."

 

The All-Star festivities have never taken place in Columbus. The Blue Jackets started competing in the NHL in 2000.
