Given the streaky nature of these Bruins, you might be forgiven if you didn’t want to fully invest in this team. But if the B’s can continue to get goaltending like they’ve gotten the last couple of games, they might be worth a watch. After surviving a six-game losing streak last month, the pendulum is now swinging in the other direction. And on Tuesday night at TD Garden, they cooled off one of the hottest teams in the league, shutting out the Detroit Red Wings, 3-0, while riding a dominant third period to the win. Jeremy Swayman (24 saves) notched…

It almost felt like a David and Goliath situation for Maeve Carey and her Boston University teammates Tuesday night, going up against one of the top teams in the country. Yet, you can always expect the unexpected whenever the Women’s Beanpot rolls around, and the former Austin Prep star emerged as a hero on the grandest of stages. The BU senior sniped the game-winning goal with two minutes left in overtime, as the Terriers (7-11-3) stunned archnemesis Northeastern at Walter Brown Arena, 2-1, to advance to the championship. Northeastern Huskies forward Lily Brazis (61) breaks in on Boston University Terriers…
After a crazy Wild Card Weekend, only eight teams remain in the NFL playoff field. Fortunately for the New England Patriots, they are one of them. The Patriots had the second-largest margin of victory of last weekend’s six postseason games with their 16-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. It wasn’t pretty, but New England got the job done, earning its first playoff win in seven years. It was also a big step for many of the Patriots’ young stars, including NFL MVP candidate Drake Maye. Now they have some postseason experience under their belts and have proven they can…
In the 19 years between 1993 and 2011, the Red Sox didn’t finish in last place in the division a single time. In the 14 years since 2011, they finished in last 6 times. The lean Chaim Bloom years were intended, according to Fenway Sports Group, to serve as something of a resent to avoid the “boom and bust” cycles that we’ve seen over the last decade. And with a playoff berth last year, it was looking like the Sox would be out of the cellar for a while. But is that hope already evaporating?According to Jonathan Papelbon, the race…
Of course it was two local student-athletes that delivered the decisive final blows Tuesday night for Harvard to secure a spot in the 47th Women’s Beanpot championship next week. Between Duxbury native Ainsley Tuffy’s sensational, 40-save outing, and Walpole native Kaley MacDonald’s game-winning goal with 11:37 left to play, the Crimson produced just enough to edge Boston College, 2-1, in the Beanpot semifinals at Walter Brown Arena. Harvard will play the winner of Northeastern and Boston University in the championship next Tuesday at TD Garden. Boston College gets the other in the third-place game. “I don’t think anyone on our…

By JENNIFER McDERMOTT and PAT GRAHAM Belgian biathlete Maya Cloetens can’t help but think about the future of winter sports as she trains for next month’s Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina, Italy. Evidence of climate change is all around her in the mountains above Grenoble, France, where the 24-year-old fell in love with the sport that combines cross-country skiing and shooting. Grenoble hosted the 1968 Winter Olympics, but its winters are shorter and milder nowadays, and with less consistent heavy snowfall. When the games return to the French Alps in 2030, Grenoble won’t be the focal point. “I grew…
