BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins have been outscored 14-4 during their current three-game losing streak. Help might be on the way just in time for the Bruins to start a difficult road trip against three Atlantic Division rivals.Goaltender Tuukka Rask practiced with the Bruins on Friday and should be available to at least serve as the backup against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday. Rask hadnt been on the ice with his teammates because of an undisclosed injury since he made 28 saves in a 2-1 win against the New Jersey Devils on Oct. 20.Rask isnt completely healed so he and the Bruins are trying to strike a balance between being able to play and not risking further damage.Thats the thing were kind of talking about, we talked about last week: Risk/reward, what it is and how should we proceed, Rask said. It feels good enough now that I can comfortably practice.Coach Claude Julien saw enough Friday to have confidence Rask could dress against the Red Wings and be in consideration to start. The Bruins were expected to send one of their other goaltenders, Zane McIntyre or Malcolm Subban, to Providence of the AHL before departing for Detroit.If hes great, and he practiced well today, and if hes good [Saturday] and theres no issues there [he can play], Julien said. He looked good to me today. So well make that decision but I think weve gone this far, were going to make sure we make the right decision, not the reckless one.Rask started the season 3-0-0 for the first time in his career and had a 1.68 goals-against average and .947 save percentage. But he was hardly healthy. The injury began to bother him on opening night in a 6-3 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 13. Two nights later he didnt start against the Toronto Maple Leafs.Rask said he felt fine when made 34 saves in a 4-1 win against the Winnipeg Jets on Oct. 17. But he had to battle through the injury against the Devils three nights later.The Jersey game was the toughest one. It wasnt too tough. Its just nagging, painful sometimes, but I didnt feel like I hurt anything, he said.With forward David Backes still out after elbow surgery and forward David Pastrnak suspended two games for an illegal check to the head in the 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers on Wednesday, the Bruins needed some positive news before leaving for their road trip, which continues against the Florida Panthers (Tuesday) and Tampa Bay Lightning (Thursday) after Detroit.Im excited to get back out on the road with this team, Julien said. You control what you can and we can control our enthusiasm, our commitment and everything else. And then go about our business that way and I think thats all we can do right now. Craig Smith Jersey .

NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony wasnt making enough shots and the Brooklyn Nets werent missing many.Once that changed, the Knicks had an easy time in the first matchup this season between the New York rivals.Anthony scored 14 of his 22 points in the third quarter and Kristaps Porzingis added 21 in the Knicks 110-96 victory Wednesday night.Rookie center Willy Hernangomez had a season-best 14 points, Derrick Rose also scored 14 and New York climbed out of a 14-point hole by holding the Nets to 27.5 percent shooting in the second half.Our bench guys were great, Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek said. They came in there, brought the energy, Melo got hot there in that third quarter and was rolling, so great second half for our guys to see what putting pressure and getting after it defensively can do for your team.Brook Lopez and Justin Hamilton each scored 21 points for the Nets, who wilted on the second night of back-to-back games after a strong first half. Normally a good fourth-quarter team, they were outscored 38-25 while struggling to run their offense without an experienced NBA point guard.New York, which came in allowing 109.8 points per game to rank 26th in the league, had more problems on that end in the first half but dominated the second.And the Knicks got strong performances off their bench, with Brandon Jennings posting 11 assists and Hernangomez shooting 6 for 7.The Nets, who set season highs for points and shooting percentage (55.3 percent) in their 119-110 victory over Minnesota on Tuesday, shot 55 percent in the first half and led 55-50.Then Anthony, just 3 for 11 at halftime, had a baseline drive with the Knicks down nine and then turned to his jumper. He made five of them and then a pair of free throws, putting up 14 points in the final 5 minutes to give the Knicks a 72-71 lead.But even after that stretch it was a one-point game, Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said. Then I felt like the real difference was again their bench coming in and just took us out of our stufff.ddddddddddddHernangomez provided a spark before Porzingis made a pair of 3-pointers and threw down a dunk while getting fouled as the lead grew to 92-78.Melo got it going. He probably had like 10 or 12 straight at one point, so that kind of just enlightened the whole team, Jennings said. And then we were just taking care of the defensive end and then just finding KP coming down for transition 3s and then he got an and-1 dunk, so we were just clicking tonight.TIP-INSNets: Brooklyn opened a five-game trip by falling to 0-3 on the road. ... Sean Kilpatrick made his first career start in his 43rd game. He came in averaging 16.6 points, tops among reserves.Knicks: New York improved to 93-91 against the Nets. Brooklyn had won six of eight meetings over the previous two seasons.POINT GUARD PROBLEMSBrooklyn rookie Isaiah Whitehead, who had been starting at point guard with Jeremy Lin sidelined by a strained left hamstring, was placed in the concussion protocol, a night after hitting his head on the court. He finished that game but had a headache and experienced symptoms Wednesday. He will be out until he is symptom free and has passed the NBAs protocols. The Nets also waived point guard Greivis Vasquez, who struggled to recover from ankle problems, and recalled Yogi Ferrell from their NBA Development League team to make his NBA debut.HIT THE ROADThe Nets only had to go about 5 miles to start this road trip, and they have an even shorter segment during it. They play a back-to-back in the same building, facing the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday and the Lakers the next night in Staples Center.UP NEXTNets: Visit Phoenix on Saturday to start the Western Conference portion of their trip.Knicks: Visit Boston on Friday to start a tough road back-to-back against the top teams in their division.
