But Im feeling comfortable with where

(Sports Network) - Boston is in the drivers seat to win its second straight division title, but a loss by the defending Stanley Cup champions tonight to Tampa Bay would certainly add some unneeded pressure to the mix. cheap nfl jerseys . The Bruins aim for a third straight victory as they host the Lightning and NHL goal-scoring leader Steven Stamkos. You can watch the game live on TSN2 and TSN Mobile TV, tonight at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. An up-and-down team for most of the season, Boston enters action tonight three points ahead of second-place Ottawa in the Northeast Division. The Senators are off this evening after a win over the Jets on Monday and the Bruins have two games in hand over the Sens. The Bruins picked up their fourth victory in five games on Sunday, slipping past the Ducks 3-2. Momentum seemed to swing in Bostons favor after Anaheim had a game-tying goal disallowed in the third period due to skater interference on Anaheims Andrew Cogliano. Brian Rolston scored Bostons third goal minutes later and Marty Turco ended with 25 saves for his first victory in the NHL in over a year. "It was the right call," said Turco, who was picked up by Boston earlier this month and earned his first win since Feb. 1, 2011 with Chicago. "If he was just inside the paint and not anywhere near me, it might have been different. He was at least halfway in [the crease]. ... Its good to get one going your way." Rolston has points in six straight games, notching three goals and eight assists over that span, while Chris Kelly ended with two assists to give him seven points in his past five games. Zdeno Chara and Benoit Pouliot also scored for the second-seeded Bruins. The Lightning are ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference standings with 77 points, seven behind the Capitals and Sabres for the eighth spot. Tampa Bay does have a game in hand over both clubs, who battle tonight in Buffalo, and won its third straight game last night. Stamkos notched his 53rd goal, a single-season club record for the Lightning, and Martin St. Louis added a goal and an assist in a 5-3 victory at Philadelphia. St. Louis scored the first of three third-period goals, with J.T. Wyman and Tom Pyatt (empty net) also scoring in the frame. "Hes there for the big moments, and thats a big moment to start the period," said Tampa head coach Guy Boucher about St. Louis. "Last game was the same thing. We were great in the first, we were bad in the second, we were great in the third, and we came back in the third and won the game. Today we wanted to make sure we came back strong in the third period and he led the way." Ryan Malone also tallied and Dwayne Roloson made 35 saves for the Lightning, who had lost six of seven prior to their three-game win streak. While Pyatt scored his fourth goal in three games, Stamkos broke Vincent Lecavaliers club record of 52 goals scored during the 2006-07 season. Stamkos owns a seven-goal lead over Pittsburghs Evgeni Malkin for the most in the NHL. Speaking of Lecavalier, he is close to returning from a broken right hand that has kept him on the sidelines since Feb. 18. He is expected to return some time during Tampa Bays three-game road trip, which began last night and concludes on Thursday in New Jersey. The Lightning posted a 6-1 home win in the most recent meeting with the Bruins on March 13, their second straight victory in this series. Stamkos scored his 49th and 50th goals of the season in the win, while Turco allowed four goals on 12 shots faced and was temporarily replaced by Tim Thomas, who allowed two goals on five shots. Tampa Bay hasnt won a season series versus the Bruins since 2003-04 and has lost three straight and nine of its past 11 in Boston, where it has won just three times in its past 33 visits.wholesale nfl jerseys . Daly came around the first turn, got a little high and spun into the outside wall. The No. 41 car skidded down the track and at one point flew on its side between turns one and two before coming back down. cheap jerseys . LOUIS -- Duke forward Jabari Parker has won the Wayman Tisdale Award, presented by the U. http://www.wholesalechinatmall.com/ . After striking out 11 and coming within an out of a shutout his first time out, Buehrle defeated the Houston Astros on Tuesday, but admittedly wasnt as sharp, despite holding them to a run and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Rory McIlroy is 18 holes away from his first PGA Tour victory in 18 months, a chance to show the world he is back on his game. Thats not the way McIlroy views the final round at the Honda Classic. McIlroy started strong, avoided a big number with a brilliant bogey in the middle and took on the wind and water on the 16th hole for one final birdie Saturday that gave him a 1-under 69 in the toughest conditions and a two-shot lead over Russell Henley at PGA National. The 24-year-old from Northern Ireland has come to expect this kind of performance. He finished one shot behind in Abu Dhabi. He played in the final group in Dubai, where nothing went well in the final round. And here is again, making key shots and big putt to keep his nose in front in the Honda Classic. "Ive been building and building toward getting my game to a level where I feel it should be," he said. "And Im pretty much at that point now." Saturday wasnt easy. McIlroy might have saved his day with a bogey on the par-3 seventh. He took a penalty drop from under a palmetto bush, and faced a shot off the pine straw across 20 yards of rough to an elevated green with the pin toward the back right. The shot came off perfectly, and he holed the 8-foot putt for bogey. "It was one of the best up-and-downs Ive ever had, I guess," McIlroy said. "And it was almost like a momentum builder. I just bogeyed the last, but walking off that seventh green with a bogey almost felt like I had saved par or I had almost gained a shot on the field. It kept any momentum that I had going to the next few holes." He closed out his round with a 5-iron into the wind to 10 feet of the flag on the 16th for a birdie, and then narrowly missed two birdie chances on the closing holes. McIlroy was at 12-under 198. Asked about the importance of winning on a major tour for the first time since the World Tour Championship in Dubai at the end of 2012, and the first time since the BMW Championship at Crooked Stick in 2012 on the PGA Tour, Boy Wonder grappled for the right answer. "It would be nice. It would be my seventh PGA Tour win," he said. "Thats what it is. No bigger, no smaller. And Ill go home and have a nice night and get up the next morning and go play the Seminole Pro-Member. So its all good." He also knows its not over. Henley wasnt doing anything special until he holed out from 150 yards for eagle on No. 14, and then rammed in a 50-foot birdie putt from just off the green at the 17th for birdie that gave him a 68 and put him in the last grroup for the first time since he won the Sony Open last year. wholesale jerseys. Thats the only time Henley has won -- in his debut as a PGA Tour member -- and he hasnt been in this situation since then. Henley has only two top 10s since that win down from Waikiki Beach at the start of 2012. Now he has to chase one of golfs biggest stars, on a course where only one players -- Ernie Els in 2008 -- has come from behind on the final day to win. "Im trying not to pay attention to what Rory is doing," Henley said. "Obviously, hes playing great and hes been in this situation a little bit more than me. But I still have a lot of confidence and Im just going to try to play my game and not worry about what hes doing too much." Russell Knox of Scotland had a 68 and was three shots behind, while Jhonattan Vegas of Venezuela had a 66 and was another shot back. David Hearn (70) of Brantford, Ont., was tied for 35th at 3 under. Tiger Woods is still in the game, but just barely. Woods matched the low round of the day. He was among five players who shot 65, all before the leaders teed off and the wind kicked into gear, but it was enough to move the No. 1 player 49 spots up the leaderboard and into a tie for 17th. Even so, he was seven shots behind. Woods has never won a PGA Tour event when trailing by more than five shots entering the last round. "Today was a positive day," Woods said after his lowest score in 10 rounds this year. "Hit the ball well and made some putts and got myself back in the hunt." It doesnt figure to be easy for Woods or anyone to track down McIlroy, who has converted the 54-hole lead in his last four PGA Tour wins dating to the 2011 Masters, where he blew a four-shot lead. That streak includes the Honda Classic two years, which he won to rise to No. 1 in the world for the first time. "Definitely not a coincidence," McIlroy said. "I learned a lot that day. I learned not to protect a 54-hole lead. I should have just stuck to the game plan, stuck to my process, not look at the leaderboard, not look at what other people are doing. ... And thats the reason that every 54-hole lead that Ive had since, Ive been able to close the deal. Hopefully, I can keep that run going tomorrow." It would be a remarkable turnaround for McIlroy, who a year ago was so frustrated with his game and high expectations that he walked off the course after 26 holes, a mistake he vowed to never repeat. "Theres still 18 holes to go," he said. "But Im feeling comfortable with where I am." cheap jerseys ' ' '
