Hockey Betting Lines

08/18/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Blackhawks continued to reshape their roster, signing free-agent forward Fernando Pisani.

TSN of Canada reported on Wednesday that Pisani was given a one-year deal worth $500,000.

A native of Edmonton, Pisani spent his entire seven-year career with the Oilers. Last season, he was limited to 40 games and tallied four goals with eight points and was a minus-16.

Since breaking into the NHL in 2002, the Providence College product has compiled 80 goals and 153 points in 402 regular-season games.

The 32-year-old's breakthrough came in the 2006 playoffs, when the Oilers dropped a seven-game Stanley Cup Final to Carolina. The defensive specialist tallied 14 goals and 18 points in 24 postseason tilts, and kept Edmonton's title hopes alive with a short-handed, breakaway game-winning goal in overtime of Game 5 in that series.
