[BRUINS]
For one of the best road teams in the League at 19-7-4, this lengthy road trip seems to be exactly what was needed to turn Boston's fortunes around. The Bruins had dropped three in a row before beating the Islanders at the Nassau Coliseum on Feb. 17, but followed that up with a win over the Senators the following night and a 3-1 victory Tuesday against a Flames team that has been scorching hot since the start of the calendar year. Milan Lucic opened the scoring 59 seconds in and capped it by hitting the empty net in the final minute.
"Our game kind of fell off in January because we weren't making smart plays. We were coughing up pucks, weren't moving like we usually do," Lucic said of his line with David Krejci and Nathan Horton. "These last couple of games, we're skating again, we're strong on the puck and we're winning battles. If we want to be an effective line, that's what we need to do."

[CANUCKS]
It's been win-loss, win-loss for Vancouver over the past nine games. The Canucks will look to string consecutive victories together for the first time since a six-game streak that bridged the end of January and beginning of February. Manny Malhotra, whose name has been bandied about in talk for the Selke Trophy awarded annually to the League's top defensive forward, showed his offensive abilities by snapping a tie 1:05 into the third Thursday and leading the Canucks to a 3-2 win over the Blues.
"I just wanted to get a quick shot," Malhotra said. "It was a great job by Raffi (Torres) and Jannik (Hansen) to create the turnover, a great forecheck."
