11/03/2009 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York Rangers defenseman Michael Del Zotto has been selected as the NHL's top rookie for the month of October.
Del Zotto led all rookies in points with 12 over New York's first 14 games during the month. He has four goals and eight assists, having registered points in nine of those 14 contests.
The 19-year-old Ontario native became the youngest defenseman to suit up for the Blueshirts since Dave Maloney in 1974 and is tasked with helping to orchestrate a Rangers' power play which ranked seventh in the league at the conclusion of the month.
Taken 20th overall in the 2008 draft by New York, Del Zotto concluded a successful stint in the Ontario Hockey League last season by racking up 13 goals and 50 assists in 62 games while skating for both the Oshawa Generals and London Knights.
Others garnering attention for the season's initial rookie honors included Avalanche center Ryan O'Reilly (two goals, nine assists in 14 games), Islanders center John Tavares (four goals, six assists in 13 games), Stars left wing Jamie Benn (three goals, seven assists in 14 games), Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers (two goals, three assists in 11 games) and Flyers left wing James vanRiemsdyk (two goals, eight assists in nine games).

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
