SUNRISE, Fla. -- Tuukka Rask is certainly a welcome sight in net for the Boston Bruins.Rask stopped 33 shots to help lead the Bruins to a 2-1 victory over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night. Rask made his second start after missing three games with an injury and has been in goal for all five of the Bruins wins this season.Ive felt good all along, Rask said. Probably just because of the chances we gave up (on penalties), I had to make more saves, but I felt good all along.Brad Marchand and Dominic Moore scored to lead the Bruins to their second straight after a three-game skid.He looked good tonight and the main reason were standing here with two points, Bruins coach Claude Julien said of Rask.Denis Malgin scored for the Panthers and Roberto Luongo had 24 saves in Floridas fourth loss in five games.Trailing 2-0, the Panthers got on the scoreboard on Malgins first NHL goal with 4:35 left in the third when his shot from the slot beat Rask. It snapped the Bruins goalies shutout streak of 131:11.I had many chances and I didnt score, Malgin said. Now, I finally scored. Its nice, but we lost and thats bad.The Panthers pulled their goalie with 3:20 left during a power play to give them a 6-on-4 advantage but couldnt score.We had a lot of chances in that first period and couldnt capitalize and Tuukka Rask was the difference, Panthers coach Gerard Gallant said. He played a great game.Marchand gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead with his goal on the penalty shot 3:53 in. Reilly Smith was called for hooking Marchand from behind. Marchand then skated in on Luongo and put the puck over his glove for his 300th NHL point. Marchand is now 4 for 5 on penalty shots in his career.The Bruins were outshot 13-3 in the first period.We had so many turnovers, it was a real bad start, it was a bad period, Julien said. Those are the kind of starts we are trying to avoid. We had a goaltender that was ready to play and kept us in there.The Bruins made it 2-0 on a short-handed goal by Moore at 6:16 of the second. Moores angle shot from below the left circle rolled in and out of the net so quickly that the goal light didnt go off and play continued, but an officials review a few seconds later determined the puck had crossed the goal line before it came out.Sometimes you can surprise a goalie from those kinds of angles and you try to release it quick and you never know, Moore said. It was just fortunate that it found its way.The Panthers were on the power play seven times but couldnt score as they managed only six shots, and gave up the short-handed goal to Moore in the second.That hurt, Gallant said. They scored a short-handed goal also. It definitely hurt. We got outworked on our power play and that was the bottom line.Game notesFlorida RW Jaromir Jagr played in his 1,639th NHL game, tying him with Dave Andreychuk for sixth on the all-time list. ... Panthers RW Jonathan Marchessault, 25, has been named the NHLs third star for October, tying for the league lead with six goals and adding five assists in nine games. ...

SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. Angels Jerseys China . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings. Cheap Custom Angels Jersey . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury.Hes either 168cms or 177cms, depending on which media guide you read, and a bantamweights 75kg, but in spite of those physical shortcomings has gone on to forge one of the colossal careers in the AFL.And this weekend, when Brent Harvey steps out for his 426th appearance in North Melbournes royal blue and white stripes against Collingwood, he will join former Hawthorn great Michael Tuck at the top of the tree for most VFL/AFL games played.Its an extraordinary achievement for a pipsqueak who was taken at No.47 in the 1995 national draft and, because of his size, has forever been underestimated.Having played his junior footy at Preston RSL before progressing to the Northern Knights, Harvey was given his first game in the big time by Kangaroos coach, Denis Pagan, in 1996 - in the final round against Richmond at the MCG.There was no hint then that the little No.29 had anything special about him, and certainly not the makings of a 20-year career at the highest level. He picked up the grand total of one handball in the Roos convincing win and was promptly dropped for the next game.A month later, he looked on as his new teammates took out the 1996 premiership.As grainy YouTube footage shows, Harvey was even more of a whippet then as he is now, the North jumper hanging loose on his spindly frame.Yet using his speed, skill and vision - like any smaller member of the food chain, he needed to know where his predators lay - Harvey quickly became a mainstay as a rover/small forward in the Kangas all-conquering team of the late 1990s.By 1999, Harvey was averaging 17 touches a game and come Grand Final day, he positively shone, collecting the ball 21 times and kicking a goal as the Kangaroos beat Carlton to take out their fourth flag.His kicking technique has always been a masterclass in how to execute the most important of footys skills.Few players over the past 20 years have been as dangerous when charging through the midfield and looking upfield for a forward to kick to. Invariably, he chooses the right option; almost always his pass ends up on the chest of a teammate in a better position. This is as true now, in 2016, as it was at the turn of the millennium.Yet for all his brilliance and longevity, Harvey has never been trruly embraced by neutral supporters.dddddddddddd Of course there is a sneaky admiration and respect for all hes achieved, and everyone understands how devastating he can be on his day, but hes not loved in the way that Gary Ablett is, or say Cyril Rioli.Perhaps thats because hes seen as selfish and hungry for a goal; maybe its because he chirps away at umpires and occasionally sooks when things dont go his way.But that would seem to be small-minded and mean-spirited. Because Boomer embodies much of what is great about the indigenous code: that it is a game able to be played by anyone regardless of size (or, for that matter in 2016, gender).And heres the interesting thing about Harveys height: he appears to have grown steadily from the time he arrived at Arden St in 1995 as a 17-year-old. Then, he was listed in the AFL Media Guide at 168cms. In 2005, he had apparently grown to 172cms and this year hes officially shot up to a towering 177cms.THE BRENT HARVEY FILEMOST KICKS: 29 v St Kilda, Rd 7, 2000MOST HANDBALLS: 25 v West Coast, Rd 3, 2010 25 v Geelong, Rd 19, 2013MOST TACKLES: 9 v Hawthorn, Rd 5, 2010MOST GOALS: 6 v Melbourne, Rd 3, 2016TOTAL BROWNLOW VOTES: 187HARVEY v TUCK: At a glanceIn looking at the careers of Harvey, Tuck and the third member of their 400-game club, Tiger great Kevin Bartlett, its clear they share many of the same physical attributes. They were/are all sinewy, wiry and lean, with not a gram of spare fat on them. They were/are also incredibly durable athletes who rarely picked up injuries. And they could run all day.(The other notable aspect of the table below is the number of free kicks paid to, and conceded by, both Tuck and Harvey. The umpires might have been fewer in number during Tucks career but that clearly didnt mean they blew for fewer free kicks.)So when the Kangas diminutive No.29 runs out on to Etihad Stadium on Friday night, in front of a national TV audience, one of the great AFL careers should be acknowledged. Around 12,460 players have represented V/AFL clubs at the senior level over the past 119 years; only two of them have reached game No.425. ' ' '
