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.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
