| NHL Thursday: Florida vs. Boston |
For the latest hockey betting odds on this game and the entire schedule, go to the online sportsbook Bet Phoenix for all of your betting needs. The Bruins swept the Panthers last season and were led by 4 goals from Milan Lucic, who had the hat trick in a 4-0 win on Nov. 18, 2010. Boston's scintillating 14-0-1 run finally ended Tuesday in Winnipeg, and with a regulation win Thursday the Panthers would pass the Bruins in the Eastern Conference standings. In fact, Florida could find itself holding down the top seed by night's end with a regulation win and a regulation loss by Pittsburgh against Philadelphia. This is just the latest in what Florida forward Stephen Weiss termed a season full of big games for a franchise that last tasted the playoffs in the spring of 2000. Weiss made those remarks prior to Monday's 5-4 win over Washington, the four-time defending champions of the Southeast. The Panthers had lost the previous game they played against the Capitals this season, but rode power-play goals by Weiss, Dmitry Kulikov and Sean Bergenheim to a 5-1 lead before holding on for the two points. Weiss added a second goal that held up as the game-winner. For the first time since an Oct. 29 loss to Montreal left the reigning Stanley Cup champs seemingly in tatters, Boston dropped a game in regulation Tuesday, 2-1 in Winnipeg. The five-plus weeks in between saw the Bruins transform from bottom-feeders back into one of the top teams in the League, with a shootout loss to the Red Wings in the Discover NHL Thanksgiving Showdown on Nov. 25 the only blemish to an otherwise perfect month. Their loss to the Jets came with sophomore scoring sensation Tyler Seguin scratched because he overslept and missed a team meeting earlier in the day. This is a very important game in the standings as one of these teams will make the league take notice as one of the best in the NHL.
