Hockey Betting Lines

07/01/2010 - Ottawa, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Ottawa Senators made a big splash on the first day of free agency, signing defenseman Sergei Gonchar to a three-year contract on Thursday.

According to reports, Gonchar inked a deal worth $16.5 million. The Russian veteran will likely assume the role of Ottawa's No. 1 defenseman and power- play quarterback.

Gonchar played the last five seasons in Pittsburgh and he recorded 50 points (11 goals, 39 assists) in just 62 games with the Penguins last year. The 36- year-old also added two goals and 12 points in 13 playoff games for the Pens.

Injuries have been a concern for Gonchar lately as he skated in a total of 87 regular-season contests over the last two seasons.

Gonchar has played in 991 NHL contests since debuting with the Washington Capitals during the 1994-95 season. He has recorded 684 points on 202 goals and 482 assists and is also a plus-54 for his career.

The 14th overall pick in the 1992 NHL draft, Gonchar has excelled on the power play, posting 92 goals and 271 assists on the man advantage during his career.
