BOSTON -- The Bruins took advantage of the struggling Florida Panthers while missing out on a chance to face their former Stanley Cup hero, goalie Tim Thomas. David Luiz Paris Saint-Germain Jersey . Tuukka Rask made 23 saves and Boston got goals from four players to hand the Florida Panthers their seventh straight loss, 4-1 on Thursday night. Rask improved to 9-1 against Florida in helping Boston win for the third time in its last seven home games. The Bruins have won five straight and seven of their last eight against the Panthers. Florida has lost 10 of its past 11 games and is on its longest skid (0-3-4) since a 10-game slide in April 2011. "Its embarrassing," Panthers forward Shawn Matthias said. "I cant remember the last time we won. There are no positives right now." Thomas is out with a lower body injury, but received a rousing ovation when he was shown on the Jumbotron midway through the third period. He played for the Bruins from 2002-12, leading Boston to the Stanley Cup title in 2011 and winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as the post-seasons most valuable player. Thomas lost to Boston 3-2 in Florida last month, but has yet to oppose the Bruins at the TD Garden at any point in his career. David Krejci gave Boston a 1-0 lead when his shot from the blue line beat Panthers goalie Scott Clemmensen at 7:17 of the second period. Brad Marchand had the winner on a wrist shot 4:09 into the third period, snapping a 12-game drought without a goal for Boston. "Nice to finally get one," Marchand said. "I forgot what it felt like, but nice to get the monkey off my back. Its frustrating because you want to contribute." Torey Krug gave Boston a 3-0 lead when he wristed home Chris Kellys pass at 8:57 of the third for his sixth goal of the season. "We seemed to get better as the game wore on," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "The third was definitely our best period. Sometimes when your team is struggling it is better to not say anything and just let the players work their way out of it." Boston was 1-3-1 in its last five and hosts division rival Toronto on Saturday in a rematch of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. Jesse Winchester cut Bostons lead to 3-1 with 5:35 remaining when he batted Nick Bjugstads shot past Rask. "We have spells we drop off during the game," Panthers defenceman Brian Campbell said. "Its not fun. Im not going to say we are having a good time. Its unacceptable." Reilly Smith capped the scoring for the Bruins at 18:13 of the third with an unassisted goal. Clemmensen made 26 saves for Florida in his second start this season. NOTES: Floridas only road victory this season came against Dallas on opening night. ... Boston has outscored Florida 19-2 over the last four home games and Marchand has notched nine points. ... Florida began the night tied with Buffalo for allowing most goals in the Eastern Conference with 53. ... Winchester flattened Kelly with an elbow to the face five minutes into the game causing him to briefly leave the game. Lucas Digne Paris Saint-Germain Jersey . And fellow Leaf, Jake Gardiner, hiking in Whistler. Zoumana Camara Paris Saint-Germain Jersey . - Leon Draisaitl scored a hat trick as the Prince Albert Raiders stormed past the Swift Current Broncos 5-2 in Western Hockey League action Tuesday.Vincent Viola, a.k.a. New York businessman Vinnie Viola, is about to become the owner of the Florida Panthers. The deal, believed to be worth $250 million, will give Viola sole ownership of the franchise and could close as early as Thursday or Friday.  The NHL Board of Governors approval has already been determined and league owners are eager to welcome Viola to their exclusive club.  The $250 million sale price does not include the arena -  which is county owned, but managed by the hockey team. Panthers general manager Dale Tallon will likely be among the most excited when this transaction closes, as he and his management team have faced many challenges in trying to keep the team competitive on a rather paltry budget. And once Tallon has full ownership clearance, expect veteran goaltender Tim Thomas to sign with the Panthers. If the deal comes together in time, its possible Thomas could make his preseason debut against Tampa Bay on Thursday night. So far, the Panthers have been impressed by Thomas work ethic and although hes untested by game action, Thomas seems to still possess the quick reflexes and timing he relied on to win the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2011 as a key member of the Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins. ----- Chris Hansen, the man and the money behind the plan to build a new arena in Seattle, stopped by NHL headquarters in New York on Wednesday to uupdate the league on the project. Gregory van der Wiel Jersey. While details from the meeting are few, its believed Hansen told NHL brass that the arena build remains full speed ahead. Many around the game see Seattle as an obvious and prime target for NHL expansion. But while interest in Seattle remains constant, relocation or expansion is not - at this time - a priority. ----- The National Hockey League and the NHL Players Association believe communication - and not an additional rule change - is the best approach when it comes to a commitment to encourage players keep their helmets on in a fight.  Although some around the league would prefer more than a two-minute minor penalty, which hasnt proven to be much of a deterrent, the league and PA will continue to keep an eye on the issue. The joint message to the players is this: Respect the rules or they will get much worse. ----- Phoenix Coyotes forward Paul Bissonnette still awaits his day in appeals court with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. Bissonnette is appealing his automatic 10-game suspension for leaving the bench to start an altercation. All involved continue to work on scheduling the appeal, but a source close to the process suggests the case will be heard over the weekend. If Bettman upholds the 10-game suspension, Bissonnette has the option to seek final ruling from a neutral discipline arbitrator. See you soon.Wholesale Jerseys China ' ' '
