(SportsNetwork.com) - The struggling Toronto Maple Leafs hope to get back on track Wednesday when they try to continue their recent success against the rival Boston Bruins. Toronto has lost five of its last six games on the heels of a season-high six- game winning streak from earlier this month. The recent rough patch includes a 1-3-0 record on a seven-game road trip that continues tonight at TD Garden. Wednesdays clash marks the third of four regular-season meetings between these Atlantic Division rivals. The last time the Bruins and Maple Leafs met was on Nov. 12 when Toronto recorded a 6-1 blowout victory at Air Canada Centre behind a two-goal performance from ex-Boston winger Phil Kessel. That lopsided win marked Torontos third victory in the past four meetings with the Bruins, but that success hasnt translated to the road. The Leafs did earn a win their last time in Beantown, notching a 4-3 decision on Jan. 14 of last season, halting a six-game slide at TD Garden. Boston is 12-2-1 in its last 15 home meetings against the Leafs and owns a 12-6-2 record at TD Garden this season. The Bruins picked up their third straight victory as the host on Monday, downing the Detroit Red Wings 5-2 in the opener of a three-game homestand. Carl Soderberg posted a goal and an assist to help Boston rebound from Saturdays 6-2 loss in Columbus, and Tuukka Rask made 28 saves for the win. Reilly Smith, Gregory Campbell, Seth Griffith and Chris Kelly also scored for the Bruins, who beat the Red Wings without the services of injured forwards Patrice Bergeron and Milan Lucic. Thats what I wanted to see from our team, Bruins head coach Claude Julien said. Its the kind of game that we need. Both Bergeron and Lucic were back at practice Tuesday, but Julien said there is no guarantee the duo will return tonight. Theyre still day-to-day, Julien told his teams web site after Tuesdays practice. I havent been told that they are cleared to play yet. Rask is expected to get the start in net. He boasts a 10-3-0 record, 1.85 goals against average and .937 save percentage in his career against Toronto. Toronto also played on Monday and lost its second straight game with a 3-2 setback in Tampa. The Maple Leafs grabbed an early 2-0 lead before the Lightning tallied three unanswered scores to win in regulation. The setback dropped Toronto to 6-6-3 as the road club. Mike Santorelli opened the scoring just 4:28 into the first period and Joffrey Lupul gave the Leafs a two-goal edge at the 7:47 mark. Tampa. however, evened the score with a two-goal second period before Steven Stamkos delivered the game-winner with 8:55 remaining in the third. The Lightning outshot Toronto by a 41-23 margin and that included a 15-4 edge in the opening period when the Leafs grabbed the lead. If youre continually receiving the game, thats going to happen over the course of the night when youre continually not getting the puck in the oppositions zone, said Toronto coach Randy Carlyle. James Reimer made 38 saves in his second straight start in place of No. 1 netminder Jonathan Bernier, who has been battling an illness. With Christopher Gibson being sent down to the AHLs Toronto Marlies on Tuesday, Bernier is expected to at least be able to suit up as the backup tonight. Reimer is 5-5-1 with a 2.64 GAA in his career against Boston. Bernier has a lifetime 2-3-0 record with a 3.86 GAA in this matchup. Tom Candiotti Indians Jersey .

The Blue Jays embark on the longest remaining road trip of the season having concluded a successful 5-2 homestand against Texas and Boston, two of the American Leagues weaker sisters. The fun begins at House of Horrors North (with deference paid to Tropicana Field, the Jays original House of Horrors), also known as Yankee Stadium, where Toronto is winless in its last 16 games dating back to an August 29, 2012 victory. On that day, J.A. Happ got the win in relief and CC Sabathia took the loss. Players insist they pay no mind to the skid in the Bronx. "Playing a team in our division thats right there with us, having said that the success or failures in New York, we just dont think about it," said closer Casey Janssen. "I know that the media loves to take this on but we just havent played well there. We can beat them at home. We can beat them on the road. We can. We just havent." "Those guys are aware of it but I dont know if you need to have a team meeting over it," said manager John Gibbons. "Go out and play harder? I dont know." There was no Curse of the Bambino. No billy goat has prevented the listless Cubs from reaching a World Series since 1945. There is no hex on the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium, even if it feels like it. The coaches discuss the Yankee Stadium issue in meetings. "The bottom line is its always been a tough place to win anyway," said Gibbons. "I dont remember it being this difficult and its strange because weve always played pretty good at Fenway." Gibbons hinted hell make one change prior to Fridays game. The team wont take batting practice on the field, opting for the underneath cage instead. The skipper joked that he wants to avoid seeing the "Yankeeography" show the hometown team runs on its scoreboard during visitors batting practice. On a daily basis, the Yankees pump out content reliving one of the franchises numerous excellent decades or profiling one of clubs legendary players. The Blue Jays go to Boston for three games to start next week and follow that up with four games against the Astros in Houston. The non-waiver trade deadline, July 31, falls on the day the club arrives deep in the heart of Texas. The Jays will enter Yankee Stadium tied with New York for second in the American League East, three games behind Baltimmore for the division lead and a half-game ahead of Seattle for the second wild card spot.dddddddddddd Both Toronto and New York have won three straight games heading into their series. The Jays throw, in this order, Mark Buehrle, Drew Hutchison and J.A. Happ. The Yankees throw, in this order, Hiroki Kuroda, Shane Greene and Chase Whitley. Surely, the odds would suggest the Blue Jays will nip this Bronx skid in the bud. "Half these guys werent here to lose with us or turn it around," said Janssen. "When we walk in to any place we expect to win. Yankee Stadium is no different." STROMAN BRILLIANT AGAIN There isnt much to be said about Marcus Stroman. His pitching is doing the proverbial talking. The 23-year-old rookie tossed seven scoreless innings of one-hit ball in Thursday afternoons 8-0 win over the Red Sox, a victory which gave Toronto a three-out-of-four series victory. He teased a no-hitter through six complete. At that time, Stroman had thrown 91 pitches. Would manager John Gibbons have allowed Stroman to work into the ninth, likely at 120 pitches or more, had Shane Victorino not led off the seventh with a single? "Youll never know. Youll never know," joked Gibbons. "I think they would have let me go," said Stroman. "Im pretty sure they would have let me go. But, yeah, theyre definitely watching pitches so it becomes tough if I would have got up into the ninth and I would have had 120, 130 pitches, its almost like, what do you do? Im pretty sure they would have let me go. I think they have the confidence in me to let me go now." Its a double-edged sword. "I cant say Im glad he gave up a hit," said Gibbons. "That was going through our minds. This keeps going, you know youve got a young kid, youre trying to win a division, you know, do you keep throwing him out there over and over? I dont know if relief is the right word but (giving up a hit) didnt hurt." Stroman, in 10 big league starts, has a 2.21 ERA. In four of his last five starts, each at least 6 2/3 innings, he has held his opponent scoreless while still in the game. He was charged with two earned runs in a loss to the White Sox on June 28. Those two runs crossed when Dustin McGowan, in relief of Stroman who had left with two runners on, allowed a three-run home run to Chicagos Dayan Viciedo. ' ' '
