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.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
