won six times this season. Shes dominating the tour the way players like Sore

BOSTON -- After a successful 2-1 trip to start the season, the Boston Bruins finally get to play a home game on Thursday night.Were all excited to get to the home opener and were happy we got four points out of six, David Pastrnak, who scored four goals in the three games, said as the Bruins prepared to host the New Jersey Devils. So were all really excited to get back and see our fans and just cant wait to play in the Garden.The Devils, who also opened the season on the road, lost two low-scoring games to the Florida teams, one in overtime, before coming home to ride new acquisition Taylor Halls two goals to a 2-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks.New Jersey comes to Boston trying to succeed in a building that has been anything but kind to its club. The Devils have lost nine of their last 10 games at TD Garden.Corey Schneider, a local product who will again play in front of family and friends, is expected to make his fourth straight start for New Jersey but comes in just 1-3-2 with a 2.81 goals-against average against his former hometown team.The Bruins trailed in all three games on their opening trip -- 2-0 and 3-1 before winning 6-3 at Columbus, 3-0 before losing at Toronto and 1-0 before coming back to defeat Winnipeg.And they did it all without team leader Patrice Bergeron, who stayed home because of a lower body injury. He skated with the team Wednesday and is expected to make his season debut Thursday night. Obviously, he makes a difference.Asked where the Bruins missed Bergeron the most, coach Claude Julien told Bruins.com, Everywhere. Hes a leader. Hes the best two-way centerman, I think, in the league. He can score some big goals and he can certainly shut down top players, so we miss him. But at the same time I think this has been a great test for our hockey club to show that we have guys that can come in and help us out.Tuukka Rask missed the middle game of the trip because of soreness but was outstanding in the win at Winnipeg, where he made 34 saves and became the first Bruins goalie ever with two assists in a game. He is 4-3-2 with a 1.57 goals-against average against the Devils.With Bergeron out, free agent signee David Backes centered Brad Marchand and Pastrnak, and all three players were a plus-7 in the three games. Rookie defenseman Brandon Carlo, who scored his first NHL goal at Winnipeg, is also a plus-7, and Zdeno Chara is a plus-6.Hall, acquired from Edmonton for defenseman Adam Larsson in one of the major offseason transactions, scored two power play goals in the Devils win over the Ducks. He is a prolific offensive player -- a welcome addition to a team that again missed the playoffs for the fourth straight season last year because of a lack of offense.Its fun to not only get the first win, but to get our power play going, Hall said Tuesday. The energy in the rink was great. Everyone was in red and every chance they got, they were on their feet.As a player, sometimes you dont feel 100 percent and sometimes its not clicking out there, and the crowd can get you into it; sometimes you rely on that at home.The Bruins opened last season with three straight home games -- and lost all three, one of the factors in Boston failing to make the playoffs for a second straight season.Air Max 1 Clearance Sale .

WATERLOO, Ont. -- Top-ranked Inbee Park took a well-earned break last week after winning her third major of the season. She was refreshed for her first round at the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic on Thursday and quickly picked up where she left off. Park opened with an impressive 6-under-par 65 under mostly sunny skies at Grey Silo Golf Course. The South Korean was two shots behind American Angela Stanford and Catriona Matthew of Scotland. Park is looking to become the first golfer to win four straight LPGA Tour events since Lorena Ochoa in 2008. "Golf is a sport where you could miss the cut this week and you could win next week," Park said. "Theres a lot of imbalance in this game and to keep this kind of level going for four weeks, five weeks, six in a row is a very tough thing to do. We really have to be strong mentally, you have to be physically strong. "Everythings got to work perfect to win that many tournaments in a row I think. You could win six, seven tournaments a year, but I think its really tough to do in a streak, like in a row." It took a tremendous round from Matthew to leapfrog Park on the leaderboard. The veteran Scot carded a career-best 18-hole score of 63 to top her previous best of 64, which she carded on four separate occasions. Matthew had five birdies en route to a blistering 31 on the front nine and had just a single bogey on No. 12. She didnt miss a fairway and hit all but three greens in regulation. "I hit it close all day which gives you a lot of chances and then obviously I putted well," she said. "I gave myself a lot of chances but took advantage of them." Stanford joined her in top spot when she closed her round in the early evening with three straight birdies. "Today I hit it really good," she said. "So it was just one of those days that as a golfer you just love." Park was joined by American Irene Cho, Spains Belen Mozo and South Koreas Hee Young Park and Meena Lee at 65. American Ryann OToole and South Koreans Chella Choi, Jenny Shin, Amy Yang and Ji Young Oh were three shots off the lead at 66. Hamiltons Alena Sharp -- one of 10 Canadians in the field -- shot a 68. Defending champion Brittany Laang of the U.ddddddddddddS. and Charlottetowns Lorie Kane opened with scores of 69. Players took advantage of soft conditions early in the day on the 6,330-yard course. Aggressive approach shots were rewarded before the greens started to dry up in the afternoon. "We were pretty much able to attack the pins this morning," Park said. "The next three days might be a little bit different if we dont get any more rain, might play a little harder." Warm temperatures and sunny skies are in the forecast through the final round of the US$1.3-million tournament on Sunday. The 24-year-old Park oozed confidence as she strolled down the fairways. She seemed very business-like and appeared to be in complete control of her game. Dressed in a white shirt and teal pants, Park raises the club with an oh-so-slow backswing before launching the ball with remarkable consistency. When she found her first bunker of the day in front of the 18th green, she casually blasted out to within a few feet of the hole and made the birdie putt. "I think it was an excellent round," she said. "I had a really good start this morning, five under through (eight) holes. I missed a couple opportunities on the back nine, but Im pleased with the way I played today. "I hit the ball great, I putted great." It was Parks best first-round score since she opened with a 7-under-par 65 at last years Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship. She went on to finish second at that event. Nancy Lopez holds the tour record with five consecutive victories in 1978, a mark equalled by Annika Sorenstam over the 2004-05 seasons. Park, who enters the tournament as the tour leader in seven statistical categories, has already won six times this season. Shes dominating the tour the way players like Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa did over the last decade. "At the time when I was watching them, I thought they were so good, that I would never be in that kind of position, never be able to win like four, five tournaments in a row," Park said. "I thought that was toughest thing to do and Im getting really close to that. "Im not as good as them yet, but Im still learning now and just starting." ' ' '
