Catch all the action LIVE on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, TSN5, and TSN GO with coverage beginning at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. DeRozan played a key role in Torontos 13-2 start, averaging 20.7 points over the first 15 games. However, he hasnt played since sustaining a tear to his left adductor longus tendon in a loss to Dallas on Nov. 28. The Raptors owned the Easts best record while winning 11 of their first 15 without DeRozan.

A 114-11 loss to Detroit on Monday was Torontos second in three games on its homestand after a 14-3 start at the Air Canada Centre. The Raptors (25-12) rank among the leagues best with just 12.2 turnovers per game, but committed 19 against the Pistons. Kyle Lowry scored 10 on 3-of-12 shooting with seven giveaways Monday after averaging 24.8 points and 2.8 turnovers while hitting 22 of 54 (40.7 percent) from 3-point range over his previous eight games. Youre going to go through things and go through (bad) stretches in an 82-game season, coach Dwane Casey said. How we learn from it and how we bounce back from it is going to be huge. Caseys club, though, could get a boost as DeRozan returns from his 21-game absence against the 76ers (7-30). DeRozan had 24 points on 8-of-12 shooting as Toronto shot 56.6 percent while limiting Philadelphia to a 37.9 percent in a 120-88 home win Nov. 9.

Michael Carter-Williams, who had 20 points and nine rebounds, missed the first meeting with Toronto due to a shoulder injury. He totaled 39 points, 13 assists and 12 boards in the last two matchups last season. Tony Wroten, averaging a team-best 16.9 points, isnt expected to play after he suffered a right knee sprain against the Hawks. That certainly doesnt help matters for a Philadelphia team that hasnt reached 100 points in its last 14 games. I dont believe hell make the trip, so were reduced to Michael and Jakarr (Sampson) and off we go, Brown said. Torontos Jonas Valanciunas looks to stay hot after scoring a career-best 31 on 14-of-15 shooting Monday. The big man has averaged 19.3 points on 67.3 percent shooting over his past four games.

The future hall of famers stole the show at the Bell Centre on Tuesday night, with Jagr moving into seventh place in all-time goal scoring and Brodeur stopping 29 shots as the Devils downed the Montreal Canadiens 4-1.MONTREAL -- The Boston Bruins just couldnt bury their chances. On a night when Boston was looking close out the series, the Bruins made a hash of numerous opportunities in a 4-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens in Game 6 on Monday night. The Bruins hit posts and crossbars, missed open nets, blew odd-man rushes and couldnt capitalize on key chances throughout the game. Most noteworthy was a frenetic 5:11 sequence of uninterrupted play in the second period during which the Bruins penned Montreal in its own zone for more than two minutes. With the Bruins down 1-0 early in the second period, and their power play expiring, Boston took advantage of tired Habs legs to play keepaway with Montreal in the offensive zone. The Bruins peppered the net with shots, but couldnt take advantage of the unrelenting pressure. "We were all around the net, getting a lot of chances. And then they scored that second one," said Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron. "It definitely took the momentum out of us. Its about finishing the job, and we have to be a lot better." On the sequence, Carl Soderberg took two shots on Carey Price, and had another two blocked by Canadiens defenceman Mike Weaver. Brad Marchand missed the net, Jarome Iginla was stopped by Price and Kevan Miller had a chance blocked by P.K. Subban. The Bruins took a total four shots on net, had three shots blocked and missed the net once. "If we capitalize on a chance there, its a different game," said Milan Lucic, who was also denied by Price on the sequence. "Were not frustrated with what happened here today because we established some pretty good zone time." Price made 26 saves for his fourth career post-season shutout. One of his best of the evening was on Lucic during Bostons dominant spell. Lucic was fed the puck across the crease, but Price made it back in time to rob the left-winger. "Bouncing puck, I overshot it," said Lucic. "It was one of those plays thaat you put in nine out of 10 times. Wade Boggs Jersey. . Today was that one that you didnt get. You get the same opportunity next game, you have to make sure that you bury it." Minutes later, Max Pacioretty scored his second of the playoffs on a breakaway to double the Canadiens lead. Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask left his net to intercept a stretch pass by Nathan Beaulieu on the play, but changed his mind and retreated back between the posts. The moment of uncertainty was enough for Pacioretty to fire home a shot between Rasks pads. "I kind of hesitated," said Rask, who let in four goals on 28 shots. "I didnt want to get burned. Me and Zdeno (Chara) got caught looking at each other. I thought he was going to dive, and he thought I was going to play it. Just another gift." Thomas Vanek, whos particularly successful against the Bruins with 67 points in 61 career games, added a goal at the end of the second period and another at the end of the third. The Bruins have now failed to clinch a playoff series in Game 6 on the road for the fourth time in five seasons. Game 7 goes Wednesday night in Boston. "Its one game, winner moves on," said Lucic. "You know its not going to be easy. You fought all season-long to get the home ice advantage for situations like this. "Were confident. Weve been a confident group all year long. Weve played well in big games. This is the biggest one so far throughout the year. We have to bring our best when we need it the most. Thats the most important thing."
