The Boston Bruins took a double shot of Merlot tonight in their win over the New York Rangers. Shawn Thornton and Daniel Paille both put in their third goals of the season in their 2-1 win. It was a sloppy game for the Black and Gold, and the victory can be laid solidly at the feet of the Bruins goaltender, the Finnish Wall Tuukka Rask. Here’s how the Boston Bruins saw the win play out (Boston Bruins).

The Associated Press covered the return of Rick Nash to the line up in the game against the Bruins. He had missed seventeen games so far this season, and it was hoped he would bring an awful lot of firepower in net against the Bruins. Thankfully, we had Rask in net tonight. (AP)

The folks at Puck Daddy break down the odds for Olympic gold in hockey.

Team USA is currently poised in fourth (behind Canada, Russia, and Sweden). Check out where all the Olympic teams are in the rankings and what the odds are for them to win gold. (Puck Daddy)

Dennis Seidenberg left the game with an undisclosed injury just 1:01 in last night’s game, forcing the Bruins to play the entire game with five defensemen. It’s not clear what happened, or how or when he injured himself. Comcast has more details and a fuller story here (CSNNE)
