Michael van Gerwen retained top spot in the Premier League as he narrowly missed out on a nine-darter in a 7-2 win over Raymond van Barneveld. The world No 1 sent his ninth dart narrowly above double 12 in the sixth leg, but remained in control for much of a one-sided win over his fellow Dutchman.But Phil Taylor remains level on points with Van Gerwen after matching him with a 7-2 win over Adrian Lewis, and the two rivals will collide in next weeks final night of the regular season in Rotterdam. Michael van Gerwen reflects on the near nine-darter and his upcoming match against Phil Taylor Fourth-placed Lewis might still have work to do on the closing evening, with Peter Wright just a point behind him, but Gary Anderson in third has qualified for the play-offs after a 7-1 thrashing of Robert Thornton.Earlier in the night, Wright kept alive his hopes of finishing fourth after inflicting a 7-1 thumping on James Wade, who also had play-off aspirations. Peter Wright can still snatch a top four place in Rotterdam But Snakebite did just enough to edge out The Machine in a tense encounter lacking in high scores or ruthless finishing.Wright continued to land the final dart, amid a string of wayward arrows from both men, and would seal victory with double 16 to keep the pressure on Lewis. Gary Anderson has secured his spot at The O2 Anderson can relax ahead of the Premier Leagues first trip to the Netherlands as he easily defeated fellow Scot Thornton, who has struggled throughout the campaign.Van Gerwen then took to the stage for his latest showdown with Barney and the Dutch pair traded the opening few legs. But The Green Machine then cranked into gear after narrowly failing to complete a perfect leg and sealed victory in style, ending a sizzling 167 checkout on the bullseye. Phil Taylor gives his thoughts after staying joint-top of the Premier League table It was then Taylors turn to stay in the hunt for top spot and he duly obliged, punishing a succession of stray darts from Lewis.The Power almost mimicked Van Gerwen with his winning checkout, taking out a 121 finish on the bullseye.

Coming off a 6-0 drubbing at Chelsea on Saturday, Arsenal endured another demoralizing result after rallying for a 2-1 lead -- only to concede a fluke equalizer.BOSTON - The Boston Bruins have plenty of time to develop consistency. For now, scoring in spurts seems to be working just fine.The Bruins scored three goals in a span of 2:34 on Thursday night and rode the third-period flurry to a 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers that extended Bostons winning streak to four games.Those games arent always perfect, but you like the way your team responds to different situations, coach Claude Julien said. Were down 2-1, instead of panicking we just picked up our game and put our foot on the gas pedal and found a way to get some goals here.A pair of Edmonton penalties helped, and Boston improved to 5-1 since losing captain Zdeno Chara to a knee injury. The Bruins are still adjusting to playing without the big defenceman — and winning while doing it.It took barely 2 1/2 minutes for the Bruins to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead. Louie Eriksson tied it at 2, Carl Soderberg gave Boston the lead 1:25 later and Dougie Hamilton scored just 1:09 after Soderberg.We didnt play a really good game, but as soon as we got that goal we started to get going and I think finished off pretty strong, said Soderberg, who assisted on Erikssons goal with 8:56 left in the third.Soderberg was initially credited with the next two goals, but officials reviewed the video and concluded that Hamiltons slap shot from the point was not deflected in by Soderberg. With a 4-2 lead at that point, the Bruins didnt care much about who got the goal.It doesnt matter. Im just happy it went in the net, Hamilton said. I didnt really look at the goalie..dddddddddddd I knew Carl was in front and I just tried to shoot low. Wherever it went, it went. I didnt even see it go in.Boston won its 13th in a row against the Oilers, who have not beaten the Bruins since Oct. 17, 2000.Tuukka Rask finished with 24 saves for Boston, which also got goals from Reilly Smith and Milan Lucic.Ben Scrivens made 27 saves for Edmonton, which lost its fourth consecutive game.Boyd Gordon scored in the first period and Mark Arcobello deposited a rebound 1:44 into the third to give the Oilers a 2-1 lead.Hamilton and Soderberg assisted on Erikssons goal that tied it, then Soderberg put Boston ahead 1:25 later with a power-play goal off a centring pass from Patrice Bergeron.Bergeron made the pass while being taken down by Edmontons Nikita Nikitin, who was called for tripping on the play. Boston capitalized on the power play again when Hamilton scored with 6:22 remaining.We had a critical mistake off the rush, Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins said. A bad decision, one that cost us and led to the next one as well. Thats a hard one to frame. It goes to the mindset that every moment is critical.Lucic, playing his 500th career game, added an empty-netter with 7 seconds left.Smith scored late in the first to tie it 1-all.NOTES: The teams combined for only 13 shots in the first period. ... Oilers defenceman Andrew Ference did not play against his former team as he sat out the second of a three-game suspension for an illegal hit against Vancouvers Zack Kassian on Saturday. ... Edmontons Iiro Pakarinen made his NHL debut. ' ' '
