03/03/2010 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Colorado Avalanche have acquired forward Stephane Yelle from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for forward Cedric McNicoll and a 2010 sixth-round draft pick.

Yelle returns to the franchise with which he spent the first seven seasons of his career and won two Stanley Cup titles (1996, 2001).

"Stephane is a proven winner who will bring veteran leadership to our club," said Avalanche general manager Greg Sherman. "He is very familiar with our organization and will add depth to our penalty killing units."

In 59 games for Carolina this season, he has four goals and three assists.

The Ottawa native has 96 goals and 168 assists in 980 career games with Colorado, Calgary, Boston and the Hurricanes.

Also heading to the Avalanche is minor-league forward Harrison Reed.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
