(SportsNetwork.com) - The Boston Bruins hope to continue building momentum when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets in Saturdays battle at Nationwide Arena. Boston won its last two games prior to the NHLs brief break for Christmas and it enters tonight having gained points in five of its last six games. Tonights matchup gives Boston an excellent opportunity to post its first three-game winning streak since Nov. 15-21. The Bruins have dominated the Blue Jackets over the years and have won the last seven meetings in this series. Columbus, which hasnt defeated the Bruins since Jan. 21, 2010, lost a 4-3 shootout decision against visiting Boston on Nov. 21. It was the Blue Jackets fourth straight home loss in this matchup. Boston went 2-0 on its recent homestand and completed the perfect stay at TD Garden with Tuesdays 5-3 win over Nashville. Brad Marchand and Loui Eriksson each scored twice to lead the Bruins offense, while Tuukka Rask made 22 saves for the win. David Krejci also lit the lamp for the Bruins, who avenged a 3-2 shootout loss in Nashville on Dec. 16. It was good, I think it was good to see glimpses of how we know we can play and we know its still in here, said Marchand. The victory pushed Bostons home record to 11-6-2. The Bs are just 7-8-1 on the road. Rask boasts a 4-1-0 record and 1.56 goals against average in his career against Columbus and is expected to start again tonight. The Blue Jackets are hoping to rebound from their first regulation defeat of the month when they take the ice Saturday in the fourth part of a five-game homestand. Columbus entered Tuesdays game against Nashville with an 8-0-1 record in December, but the hosts fell 5-1 to the Predators. It was the Jackets second loss in three games after beginning the month with seven straight victories. Jackets netminder Sergei Bobrovsky was blitzed for four goals on 30 shots before being pulled in the third period. Curtis McElhinney stopped four of the five shots he faced in the games final 12 minutes. Alexander Wennberg produced a late tally for the Blue Jackets, who fell to 7-9-2 as the home team. Were disappointed because we hung our goalie out to dry, Jackets winger Nick Foligno said. We let them dictate play. If you allow them to take over games, youll be playing catch-up. Thats what happened. Backup Curtis McElhinney is expected to start tonight over Bobrovsky. He is 0-2-0 with a 3.04 GAA in two career outings against the Bruins. There is also a chance winger Scott Hartnell could return from a broken finger tonight. Hartnell, who missed the last five games, skated a few times last week and is questionable for Saturday. The veteran forward has six goals and 11 assists in 28 games during his first season with the Jackets. Columbus will complete its homestand Wednesday against Minnesota before beginning January on a four-game road trip. Zalando Saldi Scarpe Puma .

So with the game on the line late, Houstons star was determined to atone for his earlier mistakes. "I had to figure a way to make it even," Harden said. He did. Harden scored 35 points and his layup with 0.7 seconds remaining lifted the Rockets to a 113-112 win over the Wizards, sending Houston into the All-Star break with a season-best seven-game winning streak. John Wall gave Washington the lead with a pair of free throws with 4 seconds left. Trevor Ariza fouled out when he pushed Harden to the ground on the ensuing inbounds pass. It was ruled a foul away from the play, giving Houston one free throw and possession. Harden, who was 16 for 16 at the line, made the free throw before grabbing a pass from Chandler Parsons and driving into the lane for the winning shot. Harden was asked to explain his work on the last play. "Get to the rim and make the play," he said. "Its simple." The Wizards had a chance to win at the end, but Kevin Seraphins shot clanged off the rim. Ariza had 11 rebounds and a season-high 32 points with a career-best and franchise-record 10 3-pointers to lead the Wizards. "Its too bad, these guys deserved to win that game," Washington coach Randy Wittman said. "To have it taken from them like that, its sad." Houston won despite committing a season-high 26 turnovers that led to 24 points by the Wizards. The Rockets were helped by making 35 free throws while Washington hit only eight. The Wizards trailed by 18 in the third quarter before a barrage of 3s from Ariza got his team back in the game. His 10 3-pointers were the most ever against the Rockets. Ariza was 7 for 7 on 3s in the third and made six in a 4-minute span late in the quarter, including three in an incredible 32-second stretch. Five straight points, capped by a three-point play by Wall, put the Wizards up 110-108 with 2:21 remaining in the fourth. Houston had a shot-clock violation on the next possession, but Nene fouled out with an offensive foul on the other end. Harden made two free throws with 223.dddddddddddd2 seconds left to tie it at 110. Nene had 21 points, Bradley Beal scored 20 and Wall finished with 19 points, 14 assists and three steals. Dwight Howard added 24 points with 16 rebounds for Houston, and Parsons scored 18. An 8-3 run by Washington cut Houstons lead to two midway through the fourth quarter. The Rockets scored the next five points to stretch the lead before five quick points by Washington got it back down to two with 4 minutes left. A 3-point shot by Beal got Washington within five with about 9 minutes left in the third quarter. The Rockets scored 13 straight points after that to extend the lead to 83-65. Harden had five points in that stretch, and he and Howard brought the crowd to its feet when Harden found the big man for a monster alley-oop dunk. The Wizards missed shot after shot and didnt score four more than 4 minutes while Houston built the lead. They missed from long-range, mid-range and even botched two layups. Washington finally ended the scoring drought thanks to Ariza. He made his second 3-pointer of the quarter with less than 5 minutes left in the third. He made three more 3s on consecutive possessions a couple of minutes later to cut Houstons lead to 90-79. But he wasnt done yet, and made two more on back-to-back trips down the court to make it 93-87 with a minute remaining in the quarter. Wall got in on the fun on the next possession, sinking a 3 of his own, to leave Houston clinging to a 93-90 lead entering the fourth quarter. Ariza seemed unimpressed by his big night. "I was open and there were good looks and I was just letting them fly," he said. The Rockets used a 10-3 spurt to regain a 52-46 lead late in the second. Howard and Harden each made two free throws in the last 30 seconds of the half to extend Houstons advantage to 63-54 at the break.
