Boston Bruins at Toronto Maple Leafs (+160, 6)

The banged-up Bruins will use the All-Star break to get healthier, but first they'll visit Toronto on Wednesday hoping to avoid going into the long weekend on their first three-game losing streak since October.

Boston (33-8-5) spent much of the first half on a torrid run to the top of the Eastern Conference, going 24-2-1 from Nov. 1 through Jan. 1 while averaging more than four goals and allowing fewer than two per game over that span. The club's rise earned coach Claude Julien the spot as the East's coach at Sunday's All-Star game.

But with injuries adding up and slowing the Boston's once-potent offense, the Bruins are just 4-3-1 in their last eight games, averaging 2.9 goals and losing three of six at home on the heels of a 14-game home winning streak.

While Marco Sturm is out for the season following knee surgery and Phil Kessel remains out with mononucleosis, four Boston skaters are close to returning from their injuries. Forwards Patrice Bergeron and Milan Lucic and defensemen Aaron Ward and Andrew Ference are all day-to-day.

The sextet has combined for 47 goals and 63 assists this season.

"The reality is right now we can't be the same team that people have seen since the beginning of the year - not with that many injuries," Julien told his team's official Web site. "We just have to look at our lineup, and I think it's important that people know that we've got to grind it out a little more like we did last year."

The Bruins haven't lost three straight games since going 0-1-2 from Oct. 20-23, with the Maple Leafs handing them their third defeat 4-2 in Boston. Toronto is 0-3-0 against Boston since, with struggling Leafs goalie Vesa Toskala getting pulled from the most recent meeting after giving up four goals on 11 shots in an 8-5 loss on Dec. 18.

Toronto (17-22-7) ranks 28th in the league with a 3.48 team goals-against average, and the swooning Leafs have also been victimized by a sputtering offense recently, scoring two or fewer goals five times in their last seven games and dropping six of them.

They were blanked for the second time in four games Monday, losing 2-0 at home to Carolina and hearing some disapproval from the Air Canada Centre crowd. They had also been shut out in their previous home game, a 2-0 loss to Nashville last Tuesday.

Pick: Under



Dallas Stars at Florida Panthers (-130, 5.5)

The Stars look to rebound from another third-period meltdown on Wednesday night as they face the Florida Panthers, who are dealing with their own late-game issues.

Dallas (19-18-7) closes its two-game swing through the Sunshine State after a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Monday. The Stars led 2-1 after 40 minutes behind goals from Brad Richards and Loui Eriksson, but allowed three third-period tallies for the second time in three games.

Marty Turco made 16 saves against the Lightning, however, he allowed back-to-back goals in a 3:08 stretch of the third as Dallas fell to 13-1-2 this season when leading after 40 minutes.

"We need to figure out our third period play, and quick," Turco told the Stars' official Web site. "We are too inconsistent in locking down games. I think the theme of it all is we're not executing and making enough plays, and it's something that needs to be addressed."

Florida (21-16-8) lost 3-2 to Buffalo on Monday as the team's two leading goal scorers - David Booth (19) and Nathan Horton (13) - were stopped in the tiebreaker. The Panthers are 2-6 in shootouts in 2008-09.

"It's frustrating," Florida rookie coach Peter DeBoer said. "But what are you going to do about it? We can't practice it any more, we've tried different shooters, both goalies haven't had much luck at it. Hopefully, the tide will turn somehow for us."

Booth's first-period power-play goal on Monday gave him four goals and seven assists as Florida has gone 5-0-3 since losing four straight from Dec. 26-31.

Tomas Vokoun is another major reason for this recent surge, going 4-0-2 with a 2.06 GAA. In his last 12 starts against Dallas, though, Vokoun has won only twice while posting a 2.82 GAA.

Pick: Dallas

#21 Villanova at #3 Connecticut [ESPN | 7 PM ET]

Villanova: The Wildcats are coming off their best shooting game of the season, connecting on 59 percent from the field in a 76-57 win over St. John's. Villanova head coach Jay Wright is hoping that is a good confidence builder for his team going into this tough matchup with the Huskies, who rank fifth in the Big East in scoring defense (61.4 points per game). “I think we played hard and competed most of the game,” Wright said. “At times, we were trying to be too perfect.”

Villanova is 1-3 ATS in its last 4 games overall.
The UNDER is 9-3-1 in Villanova's last 13 road games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 56 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

UConn (-9, O/U 136): Usually, teams that look ahead on their schedule pay the price and slip up before they finally get to play their big games. However, the Huskies have won five straight heading into consecutive showdowns with ranked opponents, starting tonight against the Wildcats. “It’s an opportunity to get payback for Villanova,” UConn's Jeff Adrien said. “You know they beat us the last two years, and we’re excited for it.” Adrien also added that “it’s going to feel good to break (Notre Dame’s) home winning streak” on Saturday. The Irish have won 45 straight home games.

Home team is 8-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings.
The UNDER is 6-1 in UConn's last 7 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 65



#9 Clemson at #6 North Carolina [ESPN | 9 PM ET]

Clemson: The Tigers have lost nine straight meetings with North Carolina and have never won at Chapel Hill, putting them in a nearly impossible spot if they are going to avoid suffering back-to-back losses following a 16-0 start. “It’s a tough place for us to go bounce back,” Clemson head coach Oliver Purnell said. “But it is a good opportunity for us as well to show we’re a good team. We’re resilient.” The Tigers nearly ended the series skid last year but lost to the Tar Heels 103-93 in double overtime.

Clemson is 0-3-1 ATS in its last 4 games overall.
The OVER is 3-0 in the last 3 meetings.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 74

North Carolina (-14, O/U 162.5): The Tar Heels have rebounded from a two-game skid by winning two in a row in impressive fashion, including an 82-65 rout of Miami on Saturday.
