Hockey Betting Lines

12/04/2008 - Grand Rapids, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Detroit Red Wings defenseman Chris Chelios is expected to be assigned to the Grand Rapids Griffins for conditioning on Friday and play in the Griffins' home games against Toronto and Hamilton this weekend, the American Hockey League club announced on Thursday.

The 46-year-old Chelios fractured his leg blocking a shot in a preseason game on Sept. 30 and returned to practice with the Red Wings this week. Chelios, who has played in 1,616 NHL games, is preparing to play in his 25th NHL season, which would tie him with Mark Messier for second all-time behind Gordie Howe's 26 campaigns.

Chelios, who would also be the oldest player to ever suit up in the 73-year history of the AHL, is the NHL's active leader in games played and penalty minutes. He also ranks 12th all-time with 2,873 penalty minutes and eighth all-time among defensemen with 763 assists.
