The Boston Bruins have a struggling offense, and it’s the main reason for their 3-game skid. Boston has scored just six goals combined in the last three games, and it ranks 26th in the NHL in goals scored per game and 27th in power-play percentage. The B’s must find a way to score goals soon, especially with a matchup against the rival Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre on Monday night. Check out the video above for a report from Sunday’s Bruins practice, as seen on “NESN Sports Today,” presented by People’s United Bank. ... NESN.com

Bill Belichick Praises Struggling Jets Darrelle Revis, Ryan Fitzpatrick
FOXBORO, Mass. — It hasn’t been a great 2016 season for two veteran players being paid big money by the New York Jets. Cornerback Darrelle Revis, who’s making $ 17 million this season, hasn’t been his usual lockdown self. Just check the New York Daily News’ Manish Mehta’s Twitter timeline if you’re skeptical. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who’s on the books for $ 12 million, has been benched twice — once for Geno Smith and again for Bryce Petty. Don’t tell Patriots head coach Bill Belichick about those players’ struggles, however, as New England is preparing to play the Jets on Sunday. “Fitzpatrick is averaging 26 po... NESN.com
Boston Bruins’ Power Play Struggling To Capitalize On Opportunities
The power play is the most glaring weakness for the Boston Bruins this season. The B’s have scored on just three of 38 opportunities with the man advantage, giving them the league’s second-worst success rate at 7.9 percent. It’s an area that must improve for the Bruins to return to the playoffs after a two-year absence. Check out the video above to hear Bruins players Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci discuss the team’s struggling power play, as seen on “NESN Sports Today” presented by People’s United Bank. ...

Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons Have Hilarious Twitter Exchange During Debate
We’re not sure if Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid can make the Philadelphia 76ers great again, but they at least won Twitter on Wednesday night. Like many of you, the 76ers teammates were following the third and final presidential debate Wednesday. At some point, Simmons apparently had enough of what he was hearing from Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, and he took to Twitter to voice his displeasure. But that tweet became an afterthought after Embiid’s response. It turns out Simmons, who is from Australia, doesn’t have to worry about that, though. So breathe, America. If you’re struggling with this election, all y... NESN.com
Eduardo Rodriguez Looks To Build On Strong Start Vs. Struggling Twins
Share this: BOSTON — Eduardo Rodriguez is coming off his best outing of the season, and he’ll get a chance to start a hot streak against the worst team in the American League. The left-hander threw seven innings of one-run ball against the New York Yankees on July 16, a stark contrast from the numbers he was putting up before being optioned to Triple-A. Rodriguez will face off against a Minnesota Twins team Friday that only managed to score two runs on four hits against Steven Wright the night before. The only change to the Red Sox’s lineup Thursday is Sandy Leon filling in for Ryan Hanigan, who Boston manager John Farrell said went through some “turmoil” catching for Wright on Thursday. Leon will bat
