Bruins end 10-game streak; Thomas being shopped?


Well Bruins fans, your team finally won a hockey game. The Bruins won for the first time in three weeks and ended their 10 game losing streak in the process.

With the win, the Bruins moved into a three-way tie with the Flyers and Rangers for eighth place in the conference. Boston will now head down to Buffalo to play the division leading Sabres on Tuesday night.

Another story today is that Tuukka Rask started for the third straight game and the Bruins may be looking to trade Tim Thomas. Here are the teams looking at Tim Thomas and the players Boston is asking about.

Chicago: Talking to the Blackhawks about Patrick Sharp. The Hawks are in cap hell and will need to move salary. Thomas to Chicago and Huet waived would help cut space.

Columbus: Was also told that the Bruins are talking with Columbus about Raffi Torres and Kristian Huselius in a Thomas swap.

Dallas: Talking with Dallas about a James Neal swap for Tim Thomas. This makes more sense in the off-season when Marty Turco's contract runs out.

St. Louis: Boston is talking with the Blues for Thomas. Boyes, Backes, Kariya, Tkachuk, and Polak are names the Bruins have apparently talked about.
