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.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
