(SportsNetwork.com) - The Boston Bruins look to extend their longest winning streak in two months on Tuesday night as they play host to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Bruins have won three in a row for the first time since Nov. 15-21 and have pulled into the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. They have a one-point edge over the Florida Panthers following Saturdays 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Rookie David Pastrnak netted the first two goals of his NHL career to lead the charge. The 18-year-old was playing in his seventh career game and came into the contest with one assist. Means a lot you know, first NHL goals, Pastrnak told Bostons website after the win. And its even better when we won and we got two points. A 2014 first-round pick, Pastrnak can play in two more games before the first year of his entry-level contract begins. Chris Kelly had the other goal and Tuukka Rask stopped 24 shots for the Bruins, who are 4-0-3 in their last seven games and are shooting for their longest winning streak since taking a season-high five games in a row from Oct. 30-Nov. 10. The Bruins battle the Lightning for the first time this season tonight and have won eight in a row in this series both overall and at home. Boston has outscored Tampa Bay 30-8 over its winning streak at home. The Lightning have not won in Boston since March 25, 2010 and will likely face Rask, who is 7-2-0 versus them with a 1.99 goals against average, .928 save percentage and three shutouts. Tampa Bay will be trying to rebound tonight after having a three-game winning streak snapped in a 7-3 setback to Philadelphia last night. Evgeni Nabokov allowed four goals on 13 shots before getting lifted 2:36 into the second period, with Ben Bishop yielding three goals on 12 shots in relief. For whatever reason it was a tough night. We just didnt have our legs, our structure wasnt there, Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said. Steven Stamkos and Ryan Callahan had power-play goals and Brian Boyle also scored for the Eastern Conference-leading Lightning, who lost defenseman Victor Hedman and center Tyler Johnson to lower-body injuries in the game. Cooper said afterwards there was a good chance neither skater would be able to play tonight. Johnson leads the Lightning with 29 assists and 46 points, while Hedman has 20 points in 26 games this season. Though denied a full game of rest, Bishop figures to start tonight looking for his first win over the Bruins. He is 0-2-1 in three previous encounters with a 3.79 GAA and .868 save percentage. Boston announced on Monday that forward Simon Gagne will not return to the club this season due to personal reasons. Gagne left the team on Dec. 10 and his father passed away from liver cancer during the month. Adidas Prophere Schoenen . "I had a pretty good year," the soft-spoken Granberg told TSN.ca with a grin from the teams annual rookie tournament in London. A fourth-round selection in 2010, Granberg is worth keeping an eye on with NHL training camps rolling around in less than a week. The six-foot-two, 200-pound defender may not possess the wow-inspiring theatrics of fellow prospect Morgan Rielly, but nonetheless has a chance to contribute with the Leafs when all is said and done this season. Adidas NMD R1 Kopen . -- Desperate to stop Tom Bradys latest comeback bid, the Miami Dolphins sought help from a reserve safety making his NFL debut after being signed Tuesday off the San Francisco 49ers practice squad. http://www.nmdtekoop.com/ultra-boost-sne...-boost-4-0.html. With the final four being arguably the four best – and most complete – teams from the regular season, picking a winner is not as easy as it sounds. Adidas Superstar Nederland . - While a fast-paced offence has become more of a fixture in recent years, the San Antonio Spurs can still grind out games when needed. Adidas Stan Smith Nederland .J. -- The New Jersey Devils are so bad in shootouts, coach Pete DeBoer doesnt mind seeing his team take chances in the five-minute overtime. Given their trouble scoring goals in recent seasons, the Phoenix Coyotes arent the first choice for fantasy players, but that allows for some potential value to be found. Top Picks: He can unnoticed in the desert, but RW Radim Vrbata continues to excel for the Coyotes. His 47 goals in 111 games over the last two seasons has his goals-per-game rate (0.42) on par with the likes of Corey Perry and Ilya Kovalchuk. The bonus is that Vrbata shouldnt cost that kind of premium on draft day and hes a quality No. 2 right winger. The best of Phoenixs fantasy contributors, not surprisingly, arent forwards. D Keith Yandle has 173 points over the last four seasons, ranking third among defencemen, behind only Duncan Keith and Dan Boyle, and his overall game puts him on the fringe of being a No. 1 fantasy defenceman. Rising star Oliver Ekman-Larsson may be a better "real" than fantasy defnceman, but 56 points over the last two seasons ranks 28th among defencemen and, as he ascends into Norris Trophy consideration, hes playing more than 25 minutes per game. Hes well worth a spot as a No. 2 fantasy blueliner. The wildcard for the Coyotes is G Mike Smith, whose save percentage dropped from .930 in 2011-2012 to .910 last season. Smiths career save percentage, in 263 games, is .913, so hes okay, but if he happens to be better than that while starting 65 games for the Coyotes, hes going to have premium fantasy value. His up-and-down history makes him an easier sell as a strong No. 2 instead of as the No. 1 your fantasy squad banks on. Value Plays: There is value to the durability of RW Shane Doan, who has missed 28 games over the last 11 seasons, but hes a 36-year-old whose scoring rate is declining -- last years 0.56 points per game was his lowest since 1998-1999 -- so hes still worth having in most fformats, but as a No.dddddddddddd 3 option on the right side. Brought in to help jumpstart the Coyotes offence, C Mike Ribeiro is a five-time 60-point scorer who put up 27 of his 49 points last year with the man advantage. Ribeiro, 33, is a productive player but, given younger and better options he, like Doan, fits best as a No. 3 for fantasy owners. Sleepers/Breakthrough: 23-year-old LW Mikkel Boedker had somewhat of a breakthrough season last year, as his 26 points in 48 games (0.54 ppg) was the best scoring rate of his career. However, with a real opportunity to play top line minutes, his scoring numbers should increase, particularly with a rebound in his shooting percentage from a career-low 8.4% last year. Towering C Martin Hanzal typically doesnt score enough to generate fantasy interest, having never scored more than 35 points in a season, but hes a big, physical presence with enough hits (339 in 103 games over the last two seasons) to generate interest in deep leagues when hes healthy. Along the same lines, LW Rob Klinkhammer has value in deep leagues for the same reason. Hes a 27-year-old who has played 38 career NHL games, but has 115 hits in those games and contributed 11 points in 22 games for the Coyotes last season. Rookies: There arent a lot of impact rookies in the Coyotes system, but C Max Domi, the 12th overall pick in the 2013 Draft, would only stick if he could play in a scoring role. Domi doesnt have ideal size, but has slick hands and had a big year for London in the Ontario Hockey League, scoring 87 points in 64 regular season games, then adding 32 points in 21 playoff games.
