02/19/2007 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York Rangers left wing Brendan Shanahan is out of the hospital and resting at home, one day after an accidental on-ice hit landed him in a local hospital overnight.

The veteran forward collided with the Flyers' Mike Knuble with 12:33 left in the third period of the Rangers' 5-3 loss to Philly, was knocked unconscious, and laid on the ice for several minutes before being attended to by team trainers.

Shanahan was removed from the ice immobilized on a stretcher, and taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, where he underwent tests for a concussion. Though no update was provided on his condition following Sunday's game, the veteran forward was apparently awake and alert and had movement in all of his body parts when he arrived at the hospital, and both X-rays and a CT scan were negative.

He left St. Vincent's on Sunday morning and visited his teammates prior to the Rangers' 2-1 victory over Chicago at Madison Square Garden. According to team sources, Shanahan was walking unaided but looked pale.

"They're (Rangers medical staff) going to give him five days of rest, then will meet with him again to see where he is, and determine if he can go for a bike ride or a little spin on the ice just to determine what type of condition he is in," said Rangers head coach Tom Renney.

As of Saturday's contest, Shanahan led the Rangers with 28 goals and was fourth on the club in points with 54.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
