Hockey Betting Lines

06/22/2010 - Sunrise, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Bruins have acquired forwards Nathan Horton and Gregory Campbell from the Florida Panthers in exchange for defenseman Dennis Wideman, the Bruins' first-round pick in 2010 and a third- round selection in 2011.

The Bruins add a consistent scorer in Horton, who has recorded at least 20 in each of the last five seasons. The right winger tallied a career best 31 in 2006-07 and wound up with 62 points in 82 games. He matched his points total again the next year with 27 goals and 35 assists over another full 82-game slate.

The 25-year-old Horton was taken third overall by the Panthers in the 2003 draft and has tallied 142 goals with 153 assists in 422 games since. He notched 20 goals and added 37 assists over 65 games this past season.

Campbell, a centerman, had two goals and 15 assists in 60 games last year. The 26-year-old had also spent his entire pro career in Florida after being selected in the third round in 2002. Campbell is just two years removed from setting career bests in goals (13) and assists (19) in 77 games.

Wideman, 27, just finished up his third full season in Boston and recorded six goals and 24 assists in 76 games with a minus-14 rating. He too set career marks in 2008-09 with 13 goals, 37 assists and a plus-32 rating over 79 games.

In 378 career games, including parts of two seasons with the Blues, Wideman has 46 goals, 119 assists and a minus-12 rating.

The Panthers will get a chance to bolster their roster in the near future with the 15th overall pick in this year's draft, which kicks off Friday from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
