The Bruins were without their top goaltender MIAMI (AP) — Dave Lowry scored two goals and goalie John Vanbiesbrouck made 37 saves as the Panthers, taking advantage of a Boston team playing without its top goaltender, beat the Bruins 6- 2 Monday night. The victory gave Florida, play ing in its first postseason, a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference series. Boston has been outscored 12-5 in the two games. Ray Sheppard continued to vic timize the Bruins, scoring one goal and assisting on three others, while Stu Barnes notched three assists and Jason Woolley had a goal and assist. Rookie Ed Jo- vanovski and Johan Garpenlov completed the Panthers’ scoring, while Ray Bourque and Steve Heinze scored for Boston. Playing without goalie Bill Ranford, a late scratch due to a sore ankle, Boston turned to Craig Billington, who had not started a game since a Feb. 7 loss to Buffalo. Ranford had sparked Boston since being obtained in a trade in January, going 12-3-2 in his last 17 decisions. The Penguins forged their first win of the series. LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Mario Lemieux assisted on all four Pittsburgh goals and Tom Barrasso stopped 38 shots Mon day night as the Penguins beat Washington 4-1, cutting the Capitals’ playoff lead to 2-1. The Penguins, who scored on two of their first three shots, are striving to become only the 10th team in NHL history to win a best-of-7 series after losing the first two games at home. Lemieux’s four assists tied a franchise playoff record and Bar rasso didn’t allow a shot to get past him until Sylvain Cote got a power-play goal with 7:31 left. Ron Francis and Glen Murray scored first-period goals against goaltender Jim Carey, who was pulled in Game 1 and did not play in Game 2. Carey got the start over Olaf Kolzig despite coming in with a 7.74 goals against average. Pittsburgh led after the first period despite being outshot 10-3. The Penguins didn’t take a shot on goal until the 8:29 mark, when Francis took a cross-ice pass from Lemieux and beat Carey with a wrist shot. Beranek and Odjick stunned the Avalanche. VANCOUVER, British Colum bia (AP) — Fourth-line players Josef Beranek and Gino Odjick scored unexpected goals in the second period to inspire the Van couver Canucks to a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche, ty ing the NHL playoff series Mon day night. Beranek played for the first time in the Western Conference quarterfinal and fired in the go- ahead goal before setting up Odjick for the winner. Game 5 in the best-of-7 series will be Thursday in Denver and the sixth game Saturday in Van couver. Beranek scored at 13:18 of the second on a rebound to give the Canucks a 3-2 lead, then set up Odjick in the last minute of the period. Esa Tikkanen and Jyrki Lumme earlier scored power-play goals for the Canucks, who also got three assists from Alexander Mogilny. Mike Keane, Adam Dead- marsh and Joe Sakic scored for Colorado. The Avalanche were blanked during six power plays. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Rick Wilkins homered, doubled and singled twice, driving in two runs and scoring three, as the Houston Astros took advan tage of five San Francisco er rors to defeat the Giants 11-8 Monday night. Orlando Miller added two doubles and two RBIs for the Astros, who have won five of six. Derrick May and Brian Hunter also had two hits each for Hous ton, which had 15 hits, reaching double figures for the ninth time in 11 games. Shane Reynolds (3-1) won his third straight road start, allow ing five runs and nine hits in six innings. He struck out six. Shawon Dunston made four errors on ground balls at short stop for San Francisco and first baseman Mark Carreon had a throwing error, giving the Gi ants 16 errors in their last eight games. Carreon drove in three runs with a two-run double in the first and a run-scoring single in the sixth. Glenallen Hill added a sacrifice fly in the first and Steve Decker had an RBI single in the sixth. David McCarty hit a three- run homer in the ninth for the Giants, his first hit of the sea son. The Giants loaded the bases with two outs but Decker grounded out. The Giants scored three in the first, and the Astros got five in the second on a bases-loaded dou ble by Miller, an RBI grounder by Hunter that was booted by Dun ston, an RBI single by Craig Big gie and a passed ball. Wilkins homered over the center-field fence leading off the third. ummer & next year SMt summer. Own l>dn* s rt., computer dr. Mffc 2 1/2 bath, carport, podift needed. Own room. Is* ius route.

What other conclusion can fee be when the only teams that have, demonstrably improved on paper during the first two- hirds of the off-season are: — The Jets, easily the NFL’s ftorst team. — The Bucs, who haven’t had winning season since 1982 and inly last year broke a streak of a lozen straight years of 10-loss ieasons. — The Cardinals, who rival lie Bucs in futility and will lave to dump some of their best flayers, and the Bengals, the oorst team in the NFL the last ive years. — The congenitally mediocre lams and Falcons. — The expansion teams, Car- ilina and Jacksonville. Ultimate parity is almost ipon us. “In this era of free agency, you an’t have enough high draft licks,” Rich McKay, Tampa Bay’s :eneral manager, said after tak- ng an offer he can refuse from ian Diego — the Chargers’ No. 1 lick next year for one of the Bucs’ wo No. 2s this year. “It’s hard to make sense out of seeping the No. 1 if there’s a play- ir there you want,” said Bobby leathard, the San Diego general nanager, who three times now las dealt away a No. 1 even up or a No. 2. / 1996 NFL DRAFT First-round selections PICK, TEAM PLAYER POS., COLLEGE 1.

State AP/Ed De Gasero “Why wait a year and do with out the player?” There are 30 different ap proaches and all seem to lead to the same place: 8-8. If the worst teams have im proved, the two teams that played in the Super Bowl, Dallas and Pittsburgh, have major leaks. The Cowboys lost four defen sive starters, making it 22 major defections since the first of their three titles in four years. They plugged some of the holes but depth is gone and so is cohesion. They may finally be without one of their triplets, depending on the outcome of Michael Irvin’s drug case in the courts. The Steelers? They not only lost quarterback Neil O’Donnell for an overblown $25 million and a $7 million signing bonus in the Jets’ attempt to get well quick, but offensive tackle Leon Searcy left for Jacksonville. Bam Morris’ status is questionable because of drug charges, which led the Steel ers to trade for Jerome Bettis on the first day of the draft. San Francisco has been hurt by the defection to Carolina of Eric Davis, its only proven cor- nerback, and Green Bay hasn’t lost much, but hasn’t gained much either. Most rivals think the Jets over paid for O’Donnell in an effort to gain credibility. Once they meet the demands of Keyshawn John son, they’ll have to cut veterans to get under the salary cap. ler’s Training sal, insurant! ^ im-gpm), Fti|5|r Sat(8am-2:3(r! iyed Pea.
