Bruins Defeat Rangers

Wearing their Winter Classic jerseys, the Boston Bruins keep their spot at eighth place in the Eastern Conference with a win over the New York Rangers. Miroslav Satan and Dennis Wideman were to two gaol scorers for the B's. Tuukka Rask kept the Rangers scoreless for most of the game until late in the 3rd period. The team was able to keep the score at 2-1 for the win.

There were 11 penalties called in the game. 3 were called against Zdeno Chara, who racked up 8 penalty minutes all before the end of the second period.

This was an important win for the B's as there 11 games left in the regular season. Hopfully they can keep up more 60 minute efforts for the rest of the season.

Rangers @ Bruins

Tonight the Bruins take on the New York Rangers at the TD Garden. So far, the Rangers have swept the season series, winning all three games so far. Sure, the Rangers' loss to the Blues on Thursday night was a break for the B's, but the fans in TD Garden had other things on their minds that night, booing their team off the ice in the aftermath of what they saw as a lackluster performance in a 3-0 loss to the Penguins, their first shutout in Boston since their inaugural season of 1967-68. Marian Gaborik, of the Rangers, is hot for this game. His three-point performance against the Blues on Thursday was his second in four games and his eighth of the season. Savard we know about, but otherwise neither team has significant injuries to report going into Sunday.

The game starts at 12:30 on CBS, instead of NESN. Let's hope for a full 60 minute effort tonight.
