Bernier has been ill and has not played since shutting out the Dallas Stars on Dec. 23. The Leafs also activated Leo Komarov from injured reserve on Wednesday, which is a good sign he will return to action. He has been out since Nov. 29 with a concussion. The return of Bernier and Komarov comes as good news for the struggling Leafs. The team lost 3-2 on Monday in Tampa Bay and has dropped five of six and allowed 24 goals along the way. James Reimer gave up three goals on 41 shots against the Lightning, about the norm lately with the Leafs allowing 39.0 shots per game in the last seven. My job is to stop them, whether theres 10 shots a night or 100 shots a night, said Reimer, who has dropped four straight in Boston with a 3.65 GAA. Bernier has a 2-3-0 record and 3.83 GAA in six career starts against Boston, including a split this year. Hes been busy with an average of 38.4 shots faced in his last seven starts, going 5-2-0 with a 2.35 GAA and .941 save percentage. The Bruins (19-15-3) proved themselves capable of the kind of hockey it might take to engineer a climb in the standings in Tuesdays 5-2 win over Detroit, beginning a three-game stay in Boston with a third straight home win. We need to make a decision here how we want to play this year and whether we want to make the playoffs, coach Claude Julien told the teams official website. Thats what I wanted to see from our team. Its the kind of game that we need from here on in, night in, night out. Theyve won three of four overall and gone 3 for 9 on the power play after a 1-for-29 stretch over the previous 15 games. Seth Griffith scored on their only man advantage against the Red Wings, while linemates Chris Kelly, Loui Eriksson and Carl Soderberg totaled seven points. Soderberg had a goal and two assists, giving him seven points in the past six games. Eriksson has eight points in that span after getting two assists Tuesday. Kelly had a goal and an assist, compiling eight points in the last seven games after having only eight through his first 28. Boston was without leading scorer Patrice Bergeron and winger Milan Lucic, both out with undisclosed injuries lingering from Saturday nights 6-2 loss at Columbus. Both practiced Tuesday after day-to-day designations. Bergeron has 15 points in nine games against Toronto. Injuries or not, the Bruins know emulating what they showed against Detroit is the next step. Weve done this before in the season and we followed up with a bad game so we have to realize that, center David Krejci said. Tuukka Rask could also use a sustained stretch of success. The Boston goaltender made 28 saves against Detroit and has won three straight starts, but December has been a trying month with a 4-4-2 record and 3.00 goals-against average. His career against Toronto has been much better at 10-3-0 with a 1.85 GAA, though he allowed four goals in under 24 minutes in the last meeting. The Maple Leafs won that game 6-1 on Nov. 12 behind two goals from Phil Kessel, who has seven points in his last four games in the series. The teams have split six games dating to the beginning of last season and split two in Toronto this season. The Bruins have won six of the last seven meetings in Boston, and they seem to be catching the Maple Leafs (20-14-3) at a good time. Custom Boston Celtics Jerseys .

He thinks the third baseman is the most valuable player in the National League. Harrison hit an RBI triple and scored on Jose Tabatas tiebreaking single in the eighth inning, leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 2-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night. Harrison had three hits while also making a number of sparkling defensive plays. Tabata, starting in right field for the injured Travis Snider, finished with two hits in the Pirates sixth win in eight games. "Hes unbelievable," Volquez said of Harrison, who began the season as the last man on the Pirates bench but is now their leadoff hitter. "He can do everything. For me, hes the MVP with the way hes been playing. Hes an exciting player." Volquez was working on a no-hitter before Devin Mesoracos leadoff single in the seventh. He was charged with one run and three hits in 7 2-3 innings, running his unbeaten streak to seven starts. "It was a very impressive outing," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "It wasnt his best fastball but he kept it down and no-hit them for six innings without the best stuff weve seen from him." Reds right-hander Mike Leake allowed six hits in seven innings in his second consecutive scoreless outing. He pitched 6 2-3 innings in a 1-0 victory over Atlanta last Saturday in his previous start. Cincinnati put two runners on in the eighth, chasing Volquez from the game. Mesoraco then put the Reds in front with an RBI single against Tony Watson (10-1), but Brandon Phillips was thrown out at home to end the inning. The Pirates ERA is 2.15 over their last eight games. Mesoraco had two of the Reds four hits. The Pirates winning rally came against Jonathan Broxton (4-2). Pinch-hitter Andrew Lambo, recalled from Triple-A Indianapoliss before the game, singled off first baseman Todd Fraziers glove with one out.dddddddddddd. Then Harrison and Tabata followed with their big hits. "It was really one pitch that hurt me," Broxton said. "Harrison hit one off the right-field wall but the other two hits were ground balls." TRAINERS ROOM Reds: 1B Joey Votto experienced pain in the area of his troublesome left knee on Wednesday when he attempted to field ground balls for the first time since going on the disabled list July 6 with a distal quadriceps strain, manager Bryan Price said Friday. Votto wont be ready to play when he is eligible to come off the disabled list on Thursday, and the rest of the season is in doubt. Pirates: 1B Pedro Alvarez (sprained left foot) sat out for a second game and Snider (left hamstring discomfort) was not in the lineup after leaving Wednesdays win over St. Louis. Both are day to day. UP NEXT Reds: RHP Alfredo Simon (13-8, 3.26 ERA) will start Saturday in his first outing since breaking a five-game losing streak Sunday by beating Atlanta. Simon is 1-4 with a 4.74 ERA in eight starts in the second half after going 12-3 with a 2.70 ERA in 18 starts in the first half and being selected to his first All-Star game. Pirates: RHP Vance Worley (5-4, 3.14 ERA) will try to bounce back after losing his last three starts and compiling a 6.11 ERA in that span. BOLSTERING THE BENCH The Pirates recalled Lambo to bolster their bench with Alvarez and Snider sidelined. Lambo hit .328 with 11 home runs and 42 RBIs in 61 games at Indianapolis. He also had hit six home runs in his last eight games. RHP Gerrit Cole was optioned to rookie-level Bristol to clear a roster spot for Lambo. However, it is strictly a procedural move and Cole will be recalled Monday when the roster limit expands to 40 and start that day at St. Louis.
