(SportsNetwork.com) - The Boston Bruins look to extend their longest winning streak in two months on Tuesday night as they play host to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Bruins have won three in a row for the first time since Nov. 15-21 and have pulled into the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. They have a one-point edge over the Florida Panthers following Saturdays 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Rookie David Pastrnak netted the first two goals of his NHL career to lead the charge. The 18-year-old was playing in his seventh career game and came into the contest with one assist. Means a lot you know, first NHL goals, Pastrnak told Bostons website after the win. And its even better when we won and we got two points. A 2014 first-round pick, Pastrnak can play in two more games before the first year of his entry-level contract begins. Chris Kelly had the other goal and Tuukka Rask stopped 24 shots for the Bruins, who are 4-0-3 in their last seven games and are shooting for their longest winning streak since taking a season-high five games in a row from Oct. 30-Nov. 10. The Bruins battle the Lightning for the first time this season tonight and have won eight in a row in this series both overall and at home. Boston has outscored Tampa Bay 30-8 over its winning streak at home. The Lightning have not won in Boston since March 25, 2010 and will likely face Rask, who is 7-2-0 versus them with a 1.99 goals against average, .928 save percentage and three shutouts. Tampa Bay will be trying to rebound tonight after having a three-game winning streak snapped in a 7-3 setback to Philadelphia last night. Evgeni Nabokov allowed four goals on 13 shots before getting lifted 2:36 into the second period, with Ben Bishop yielding three goals on 12 shots in relief. For whatever reason it was a tough night. We just didnt have our legs, our structure wasnt there, Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said. Steven Stamkos and Ryan Callahan had power-play goals and Brian Boyle also scored for the Eastern Conference-leading Lightning, who lost defenseman Victor Hedman and center Tyler Johnson to lower-body injuries in the game. Cooper said afterwards there was a good chance neither skater would be able to play tonight. Johnson leads the Lightning with 29 assists and 46 points, while Hedman has 20 points in 26 games this season. Though denied a full game of rest, Bishop figures to start tonight looking for his first win over the Bruins. He is 0-2-1 in three previous encounters with a 3.79 GAA and .868 save percentage. Boston announced on Monday that forward Simon Gagne will not return to the club this season due to personal reasons. Gagne left the team on Dec. 10 and his father passed away from liver cancer during the month.

Russia has spent about $51 billion to deliver the Sochi Olympics, which run Feb. 7-23, making them the most expensive games ever, even though as a winter event it hosts many fewer athletes than summer games do. Kerry Wood Jersey . Cabrera-Bello shot a 1-over-par 73 and was caught by Webster, who carded 70 at Doha Golf Club for three-round totals of 12-under 204. They were only one stroke ahead of Adrien Saddier of France, the biggest mover with six birdies in his opening seven holes in a round of 64, South African Thomas Aiken (70) and Denmarks Thorbjorn Olesen (68) on a packed leaderboard. David Ross Jersey . The league-leading New York Rangers outhit and outmuscled the Maple Leafs during a 3-0 victory on Saturday. Backup goalie Martin Biron stopped all 20 shots he faced to complete a nice workmanlike effort by the visitors.If pre-season reviews hold true all year long, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats playing in Guelph will be a hug hit for the fans. The college atmosphere of Hamiltons pre-season win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Alumni Stadium in Guelph was both unique and refreshing. It should be a fun ride for each of the Ticats eight regular season home games in Guelph. But will it be taxing on the players? The Tiger-Cats will continue to practice in Hamilton, at McMaster University, and travel to Guelph just to play games. Theyll be without a home base for the entire year. Throw in a mid-September trip to New Brunswick for Touchdown Atlantic, and that equals a lot of running around for a team looking to improve onn a disappointing 2012.dddddddddddd As Chris Schultz noted in his team previews, it could be an awkward season for the Black and Gold. But while it may not be a home field advantage during the week, it certainly could be on game day. Alumni Stadium holds only 13,000 on Ticat game days, but it promises to be a boisterous 13,000. The reviews of Alumni Stadium for Hamiltons lone appearance there this season were across the charts positive; game day will be fun for the fans, will it be as fun for the Ticats? The Rouge asks: Can the Tiger-Cats be successful at their home away from home, Alumni Stadium? Youve heard what weve had to say, now its your turn. As always, its Your! Call. ' ' '
