(10-5-1) Montreal Canadiens 3-1 Boston Bruins (8-4-1)
Final
Last night in Boston, it was an original 6 rivalry between the Bruins and the Canadiens. Last season Montreal won 5 of 6 games vs Boston they were looking to continue that last night.In the first period, Montreal went on a powerplay which has only got 3 goals this season (the worst in the NHL). They were looking to turn it around. They did with a one timer by Subban that found it's way past Rask to make it 1-0 on his first NHL regular season goal of his career (he had 1 playoff goal last season). The Bruins would respond with a goal from Chara from the point that's his 4th of the year. Now lets jump to the third, Montreal was on a powerplay. Cammalleri skated in from the top on the goalies left circle and faked a shot and passed it right to Gionta who one timed it into the net to make it 2-1.
That was the first time in 35 games that Montreal has scored 2 powerplay goals in one game. The last time was Febuary 13th 2010 against the Flyers in a 6-2 loss. But there was no losing here at least not for the Canadiens. Who would add one more goal from Scott Gomez on a rebound. That's Gomez's first point in 12 games and first goal in 14 games and it came in his 800th NHL game to make it 3-1. That would be your final as the Habs continue to win hockey games."Beating two top teams like Vancouver and Boston -- especially Boston -- is great," said Price. "They were only two (points) behind us in the standings and had some games in hand, and we didn't want to be tied with them."
In the win, Carey Price made 34 saves on 35 shots. As for the Bruins netminder, Rask made 38 saves on 41 shots. "We ran out of legs, and progressively our game got worse and made every part of our game look bad," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "When you have a fresh team waiting for you at home, and a divisional game, it's tough." The Habs next game will be Saturday against the Hurricanes on CBC-M and RDS-HD at 7:08pm E.t is the puck drop.
