MADRID, Spain -- Atletico Madrid beat 10-man Real Betis 2-0 Sunday in the Spanish league to increase the pressure on Real Madrid ahead of its clasico with Barcelona. Atletico is tied on 70 points with Madrid, which hosts Barcelona later Sunday. Barcelona has 66 points. Gabi Fernandez opened the scoring in what had been a hard fought contest until Bryan Rodriguez was shown a second yellow card for blatantly swiping at the ball with his hand in the 55th minute. Gabi was afforded space about 10 metres outside the area to smash a swerving drive beyond outstretched goalkeeper Antonio Adan for the 58th-minute lead. Diego Costa made it 2-0 in the 64th after Koke headed on to the Spain striker to fire home his 23rd league goal and 31st in all competitions. While Atleticos season-long surge sees no signs of dipping with nine rounds left, last-placed Betis is running out of time to avoid relegation after falling nine points from safety. Earlier, Sevilla continued its late bid to qualify for next seasons Champions League by beating Osasuna 2-1 for a fifth straight victory. Jairo Samperio put Sevilla ahead after 27 minutes before Carlos Bacca scored a first-half stoppage time penalty after Damia Abella was ajudged to have handled inside the area, which led to Osasuna coach Javi Gracia being dismissed. Sevilla never looked in danger despite Osasuna substitute Javier Acuna scoring an impressive individual effort in the last play of the game. Sevilla has 48 points, seven behind fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao on 55. Osasuna is two points above the relegation zone. Vallencia and Villarreal also play on Sunday, while Real Sociedad faces Almeria on Monday. In other 29th round results, it was: Athletic Bilbao 1, Getafe 0; Malaga 2, Celta Vigo 0; Real Valladolid 1, Rayo Vallecano 1; and Espanyol 0, Levante 0.

Christian Djoos Jersey .com) - The Winnipeg Jets placed defenceman Paul Postma on injured reserve Tuesday.BOSTON -- Milan Lucic saved the Boston Bruins from a lacklustre defensive night, blocking a shot in the final minute of overtime and turning it into the game-winning goal. Lucic stepped in front of a shot by Cam Atkinson just inside the blue line and the puck took a big bounce toward the Columbus end with nobody between Lucic and Blue Jackets goalie Sergei Bobvrosky. Lucic corralled the puck and poked a shot between Bobvroskys pads. "Its my first overtime goal that I ever scored and it ends up being a big one," said Lucic, who leads the Bruins with eight goals. Loui Eriksson and Shawn Thornton also scored the Bruins. Boston goalie Chad Johnson stopped 32 shots, making his third start this season with No. 1 netminder Tuukka Rask getting a night off. Columbus was coming off a 4-3 overtime loss in Washington on Tuesday and has won just once in the last eight games. Bostons two goals in regulation both came on unintentional deflections and another fortunate bounce allowed the Bruins to extend their winning streak to four straight. Atkinsons shot bounced hard off Lucic and headed straight in the opposite direction. Even Lucic called it a "lucky bounce" as the Bruins won despite getting outshot 12-7 in the third period and 2-1 in overtime. "It feels the same. Its still an empty feeling," Columbus coach Todd Richards said of the second straight loss in OT. "There were a lot of good things in the third period, but its still the result. You know, we need to win games and we need two points here, not just one." The Blue Jackets also didnt help themselves, going scoreless on four power-play opportunities. Bobvrosky made 28 saves for the Blue Jackets, who took a 1-0 lead in the first on Blake Comeaus second goal of the season. Boston scored twice before Nick Foligno restored the tie with a goal late in the second period..dddddddddddd The third was scoreless and the game appeared to be headed to a shootout before Lucic stepped in front of Atkinsons shot and skated in alone for the game-winner. "He did a great job of blocking the shot and he got on his horse and took off," Boston coach Claude Julien said. The Bruins closed a five-game homestand 4-0-1. Thornton gave Boston a 2-1 lead on a slap shot from the circle that deflected off Columbus defenceman Jack Johnsons stick and beat Bobvrosky on the near post with 9:51 left in the second. It was the second time in the game the Bruins scored by just trying to get the puck on net. Eriksson was credited with Bostons first goal without even taking a shot. He was facing the net when Zdeno Chara wristed the puck from the blue line and it deflected off Erikssons skate and into the net to tie it a 1-1 with 1:50 left in the first period. Comeau put Columbus up 1-0 with 7:12 left in the opening period on a shot from the slot off a backhand pass from Mark Letestu from behind the goal line. Foligno tied it 2-all with 3:26 left in the second period when Johnson gave up a rebound straight to the slot. Foligno set up his own goal with a pass intended for Michael Chaput that and ended up reaching Johnson instead. Johnson made a save with his left pad, but the rebound went right to Foligno for a one-timer.
