Streaking Bruins face Panthers

Hockey Betting Lines

02/24/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Bruins will try to extend their winning streak to a season-high five games when they visit the Florida Panthers tonight at BankAtlantic Center.

The Bruins' latest triumph came Friday evening in Tampa, as Brad Boyes scored two goals and Boston coasted to a 6-2 romp over the Lightning at St. Pete Times Forum.

Brandon Bochenski had a goal and two assists, while Marc Savard added three helpers for the Bruins. Savard has been on a tear recently, notching points in seven straight games. He has two goals and 10 helpers during the run.

Tim Thomas stopped 24 shots for Boston, which is now five points back of Carolina for eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

The Bruins are in the midst of their second four-game win streak of the season. Another victory tonight would give Boston its first five-game stretch since rattling off six victories in a row from January 29-February 10, 2004.

Tonight marks the end of a six-game road trip for the Bruins, who are 14-14-2 as the visiting club.

The Panthers have played a good deal of close games lately, but have still dropped two straight and three of their last four contests. Florida has taken its last three games past regulation and is 1-0-2 in those contests.

Florida was handed an overtime loss by the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. Colby Armstrong's goal with 2:21 left in overtime gave the Pens the 2-1 victory at BankAtlantic Center.

Juraj Kolnik scored for Florida, and Ed Belfour stopped 39 of 41 shots.

The Panthers are wrapping up a mini two-game homestand tonight. They are a respectable 16-10-4 as the host club this season.

Florida is 3-0 against the Bruins this year and has taken five straight in the series.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
