| (BettingExpress) - The struggling Boston Bruins will try to avoid a third consecutive defeat when they host the streaking Ottawa Senators in tonight's Northeast Division battle at TD Banknorth Garden. Boston is coming off consecutive losses to the New York Rangers and Columbus and has lost five of six, seven of 10 and 11 of its 15 contests. The Bruins, however, are still tops in the Eastern Conference with 95 points, but they are now just six points ahead of New Jersey for that distinction. The Bruins still |

Interestingly enough, Julien, who is currently enjoying immense success as head coach of the Eastern Conference- leading Boston Bruins, was also replaced by another GM a year later when Devils front office whiz Lou Lamoriello fired him and became the interim head coach. Gainey is just one of many general managers with too much power and not enough accountability. Certainly, he had |

The slumping Northeast Division leaders wrap up what's been a disappointing homestand thus far when the up-and-coming Chicago Blackhawks enter TD Banknorth Garden this afternoon. After beginning their six-game residency with a pair of wins, the Bruins have dropped three in a row on home ice and fell to 3-6-3 since February 7 with Thurs |

Newly acquired Scottie Upshall tallied in his debut for Phoenix, which snapped a three-game losing streak and won for just the fourth time in its last 16 games.
