Seguin, Bruins take down Predators in SO
Hockey Betting Lines
02/11/2012 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tyler Seguin and Patrice Bergeron scored in the shootout and the Boston Bruins beat the Nashville Predators, 4-3, on Saturday afternoon.
Bergeron, Daniel Paille and Milan Lucic had goals in regulation as the Bruins bounced back from a 6-0 loss to Buffalo on Wednesday to win for the second time in five games.
Lucic tied the game with 67 seconds left in the third period.
Tim Thomas had 19 saves, including three in overtime, and stopped Sergei Kostitsyn and Martin Erat in the shootout to earn the victory for Boston.
Shea Weber, Patric Hornqvist and Mike Fisher had goals for the Predators, who have lost four of their last five (1-2-2).
Indeed, both teams needed a win. The Bruins, after being routed by Buffalo, came into the game just 5-6-1 in their previous 12 games. They peppered Pekka Rinne with 41 shots through overtime and Nashville blocked another 29.
Fisher gave the Predators their first lead at 3-2 with 3:32 remaining when he skated around the net to get his own rebound on a shot that skidded through the crease and beat Thomas with a sharp backhand.
But Lucic tied it on a power play, picking up a rebound low on the right side after a shot by Rich Peverley was ticked aside and flipped it into the net with Rinne down in the crease.
The Bruins, testing Rinne all day, tried to sneak the game-winner through in the last seconds of regulation. Brad Marchand had two good looks in a row but both were stopped -- the second by the defenseman Weber, who slipped in behind his own goaltender to knock the puck out of mid air.
Earlier, with the Bruins shorthanded, Bergeron opened the scoring with a shot from the right side after a drop pass from Marchand late in the first period.
Weber scored with a slap shot from high on the left side during a power play in the second period but Boston regained the lead on Paille's backhand goal in front early in the third period. Hornqvist then tied it again midway through the third, jamming in a loose puck from in front.
Game Notes

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
