Game Notes
Winnipeg, MB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Zach Bogosian had a goal and two assists, as the Winnipeg Jets took down Teemu Selanne and the Anaheim Ducks, 5-3. The Jets welcomed Selanne back to town on Saturday night. The 41-year-old returned to the city where his decorated career began for the first time in nearly 16 years. Selanne broke into the NHL in 1992-93 with the Jets and spent three-plus seasons there. He had two assists against his former club.
Chris Mason made 33 saves for the victors.
Dan Ellis turned aside 26-of-31 shots.
Deryk Engelland, Chris Kunitz, Jason Williams, James Neal and Simon Despres also lit the lamp for Pittsburgh.
Thomas Vanek, Paul Gaustad and Luke Adam were the scorers for the Sabres, who lost for the third time in four contests.
Williams netted his first goal in a Penguins uniform in just his third game with the club on a blast from the blue line 2:17 into the contest.
Despres tallied on the power play for his first NHL goal, 6:07 into the opening period when he let go a one-timer from the right circle.
Vanek scored just over three minutes later, but a backhander from the right circle from Malkin got through the legs of Enroth with 2 1/2 minutes remaining in the first.
Kunitz scored less than two minutes later.
The Penguins have gone 9-2-1 in their last 13 home games against the Sabres...Fleury (27 years, 19 days) also became the fourth-youngest netminder in the expansion era (since 1967-68) to reach 200 victories, trailing only Grant Fuhr (26 years, 122 days), Martin Brodeur (26 years, 343 days) and Barrasso(26 years, 354 days)...Malkin and Neal each have five-game point streaks...Pittsburgh's eight goals is a season-best.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris Beanie Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted Wild Cat offense and could be a big time playmaker.
