Islanders acquire Bergeron from Edmonton

Hockey Betting Lines

02/18/2007 - Uniondale, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Islanders have acquired defenseman Marc-Andre Bergeron and a third-round pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for defenseman Denis Grebeshkov.

Bergeron appeared in 55 games for Edmonton this season and compiled eight goals with 17 assists for 25 points. The puck-moving blueliner was the club's leading scorer among defensemen and had spent each of his four NHL seasons with the Oilers.

"This trade addresses our need for a quality offensive defenseman to improve our power play," said Islanders general manager Garth Snow in a release. "Marc-Andre is an excellent point man, a very good skater and a solid competitor. We like the fact that, at 26, he's just entering his prime."

In 189 career NHL games, Bergeron has scored 33 goals with 55 assists for 88 points. He helped Edmonton to the Stanley Cup Finals last season, notching two goals with one assist in 18 playoff games.

Grebeshkov had three assists in 21 games with the Islanders last season after being acquired from the Los Angeles Kings at the trade deadline. The 23-year- old is playing this season in his native Russia.
