Tenkrat, Bruins top Flyers

Hockey Betting Lines

02/20/2007 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Petr Tenkrat scored a pair of goals to guide the Boston Bruins past the Philadelphia Flyers, 6-3, at the Wachovia Center.

Marc Savard finished with a goal and two assists and P.J. Axelsson tallied a goal and an assist for the Bruins, who have won four of their last five. Tim Thomas turned away 30 shots in an impressive outing for Boston.

Scottie Upshall, one of the main components in a trade that sent Peter Forsberg to Nashville last week, registered his second goal in as many games for Philadelphia, which had won three of four coming in. Upshall added an assist while Jeff Carter and Kyle Calder had a goal and two helpers each in defeat. Antero Niittymaki finished with 12 saves in net.

The contest started out slowly, as a Marco Sturm deflection goal at the 13:38 mark constituted the only scoring of the first period.

The flood gates, though, sprang wide open in the second period.

Upshall evened the game just 43 ticks into the stanza, and Carter's shot from the high slot beat Thomas at the 7:08 mark to put the Flyers in front.

Just 34 seconds later, though, Axelsson took a pass from Savard in the left circle and fired the disc past Niittymaki to even the score at 2-2.

Philadelphia nearly went ahead again at the midway point of the period when Carter broke in behind the defense, but his backhand try rang off the post. On the ensuing sequence, Tenkrat beat Niittymaki from the left circle to complete the momentum shift.

Tenkrat then made it a two-goal Boston advantage with a rebound putback with 4:24 left in the middle frame. Calder capped the wild action with his ninth goal of the year moments later to make it 4-3 heading into the final period.

Brandon Bochenski gave the road team a cushion 3:10 into the third, as he charged into the zone on a rush before firing a shot from the right circle that slipped just inside the far post.

Savard added an empty-net goal with 31.4 seconds left to cap the scoring.

Game Notes

Flyers forward Ben Eager sustained a lower-body injury midway through the second period and did not return...This was the third installment of a six- game road trip for Boston, which owns a 12-14-2 record away from home...The Flyers are a dismal 5-17-7 at the Wachovia Center this season.

(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.
