Weight done for season

Hockey Betting Lines

03/13/2010 - Uniondale, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York Islander captain Doug Weight will miss the rest of the season due to a shoulder injury that will require surgery.

The 39-year-old tore the rotator cuff and labrum in his left shoulder last November, but has played through the injury until deciding to shut himself down for the rest of the season and get the surgery.

"Surgery was gonna happen no matter what, but I thought at the time that I wanted to contribute to a team that could make the playoffs," said Weight. "I'm going to approach it with the aspirations of still playing hockey. I've still got the fire in my stomach when I hit the ice. My legs still feel strong, I feel strong on the puck."

Over 36 games this season, he has just one goal and 16 assists for the Islanders, who came into play Saturday 11 points out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with 15 games to play.

A second-round pick of the Rangers in 1990, he has totaled 276 goals and 748 assists over 1,220 games, which has included stints with Edmonton, St. Louis, Carolina and Anaheim.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
