(SportsNetwork. Johnny Townsend Jersey .com) - The Boston Bruins will try to bounce back from their worst loss of the season when they host the New York Rangers in Fridays matinee battle between Original Six rivals. You can catch the action live on TSN at 1pm et/10am pt. The Bruins played on the road Wednesday night in Detroit and were handed a 6-1 setback by the Red Wings. It was Bostons first regulation loss since Nov. 15 and also marked the first time this season that the Bs lost by a margin of greater than two goals. Boston was only down 1-0 after the first period on Wednesday before the Red Wings scored three times in the second stanza to open a big lead. Detroit expanded its cushion to six goals in the third before the Bruins finally got on the board with a Jarome Iginla marker with 2:25 left in the contest. Tuukka Rask surrendered all six goals on 28 shots for the Bruins, who had picked up at least a point in their previous five games (4-0-1). "Everything we did tonight was just disastrous," said Boston head coach Claude Julien. "Every once in a while you get a game like that and you hope it wakes your team up." Julien hopes a two-game homestand at TD Garden is enough to awaken his club. The Bruins, who also will host Columbus on Saturday, are 10-3-2 as the host this season. Boston defeated the Rangers in New York recently, earning a 2-1 regulation decision on Nov. 19 at Madison Square Garden. Rask was the difference for the Bruins in that close win, as he stopped 43-of-44 shots. The Bruins have taken three of the past five encounters with New York, posting a 3-0-2 mark in those tilts. However, the Rangers have claimed five of the past six meetings in Boston. Henrik Lundqvist stopped 20-of-22 shots for New York in the home loss against Boston earlier this month. He will get the start for the Rangers on Friday and boasts a 21-8-2 record and a 1.68 goals against average over 31 career games versus the Bruins. Rask expects to start today and is 4-3-3 with a 1.98 GAA in 10 outings against the Rangers. New York enters Fridays Original Six clash having won three of its past four games. The Blueshirts picked up their most recent win Wednesday night at Florida, as Mats Zuccarello had a goal and an assist to help New York record a 5-2 decision over the Panthers. Derick Brassard, Brad Richards, Rick Nash and Carl Hagelin also lit the lamp for the Rangers, who improved to 3-1-0 on a five-game road trip that ends today in Boston. Lundqvist stopped 31-of-33 shots in the victory. "I just tried to play my game tonight," Lundqvist said. "It was important for me and the team to bounce back with a solid performance. You feel the importance of trying to get points. Im happy with the way I played. The biggest part of this game was the two points." Rangers forward Derek Dorsett missed Wednesdays game with a sore wrist and is questionable for Friday. New York is 9-7-0 on the road this season compared to a 4-5-0 mark at home. After capping a road trip this afternoon, the Rangers will play two straight and 11 of their next 12 games on home ice. Johnny Townsend Raiders Jersey .

UCONN forward Cyle Larin won’t be in Philadelphia for the draft, as he is currently away with Canada’s U-20 national team trying to qualify for this summer’s FIFA U20 World Cup, but the 19-year-old from Brampton is widely projected to be a top two pick. Orlando City holds the first-overall selection in the SuperDraft with fellow expansion club New York City FC picking second ahead of Montreal Impact in third. Toronto FC holds three first-round picks, starting with number six, and Vancouver Whitecaps are 13th in line. On this week’s TSNFC podcast, we were joined by Bobby Smyrniotis, the Technical Director for Sigma FC, the academy where Larin developed his talents from the age of 11. Smyrniotis has been at the MLS Combine in Florida over the past few days where he has had conversations with staff of both Orlando and New York about Larin. Larin finished his UConn career with 23 goals in 39 games and was named American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year in 2013. This year he was named AAC Offensive Player of the Year. So what makes him stand out? “He’s a rare blend of a big number-nine striker who has got soft feet and is very technical,” said Smyrniotis. “I think what makes him alluring for many of the clubs here in MLS is that he blends the physical attributes with being a very intelligent footballer.” “As a number nine he has the ability to score in and around the box from a variety of manners, whether he is beating players or whether it’s with service from the outside, his aerial game is very good, Smyrniotis continued. The other thing that people see in him is his hold-up play. He’s very good at bringing the ball down and having defenders around him and that helps a team that wants to play with a point man up top.” Despite just leaving college, Larin is no stranger to the professional game, having spent time training with a number of European clubs over the last couple of years including Genk and Club Brugge in Belgium and Hertha Berlin, Wolfsburg and Werder Bremen in Germany. There had been some speculation that Larin would leave college a year early and join the class of the 2014 SuperDraft, but with another year under his belt, Symrniotis is confident the Canadian teenager has all of the qualities needed to deal with the pressure of being a very high draft pick. “He’s got the right mentality for it,” said Smyrniotis. “He has been iin some good environments in the past and over the last year getting called up to the senior national team with Benito Floro has helped him a lot. P.J. Hall Raiders Jersey. He has been over training with some European clubs, so he has had a taste of the pros and I think that will prepare him for what is coming in the next couple of weeks.” “He is a very level-headed young man. That is something we try and work at with young players – the mental coaching aspect of things, making sure the players don’t get too high and don’t get too low, Smyrniotis went on. There’s a long process involved in things and there will be a lot of ups and downs as a pro and I think he has been well prepared for that. His name has been talked about a lot in the media, but he usually stays away from that and is unaware of a lot of it and I think that’s a good thing on his part.” Smyrniotis feels that Larin could be a quick study in the MLS. “I think it comes down to where he may go, or what the exact needs of that club will be, he said. From a technical aspect he will definitely need a couple of months to get his feet wet, but I think it will be a quicker transition than a slower one.” Larin isn’t the first product from Sigma Academy to head into the MLS SuperDraft. Two years ago, Kyle Bekker and Emory Welshman were both picked in the first round by Toronto FC. Smyrniotis has been to every MLS Combine since 2008 and has been impressed with the standard of players on show this time around. “It’s been a relatively good combine, he said. Some of the top players are missing, such as Cyle who is down in Jamaica, but what is important to note in talking with the MLS teams is that they still take this very seriously. A lot of MLS teams now have USL PRO teams as their reserve teams, so they will have a legitimate place for some of these players to keep on developing, instead of them just being released in a few weeks - that has been one of the big issues in the past.” It promises to be an exciting few days for Larin as he continues to play a role in Canada’s quest to qualify for the 2015 U-20 World Cup in New Zealand and also gets to find out where he will begin his pro career. He could end up in Orlando, playing alongside Brazilian star Kaka, or in New York, where he could learn off NYCFC’s star striker David Villa. Whatever the outcome, Larin seems capable of playing a major role for club and country in the years to come.
