This is the first of 4 meetings between the Canadiens and the Bruins this year. Boston has won 4 straight over them, but Montreal is off to a strong start this year (6-2-0).
The Bruins have let up 2 goals or less in the 5 of their 7 games they have played so far this year, and one of the games they didn't came at the backend of a 3 games in 4 days stretch. Needless to say Boston knows how to play some defense. What could really use some work is their power play, which is just 3-30 on the season (near the bottom of the NHL). Then again, when isn't it?
Tonight is a good test, as Price is a good goalie, and the stadium will obviously be rocking tonight in Montreal. I really believe in this Bruins team this year, and even though the Bruins are a little beat up I think they are the more physical team, and can shut them down with their defense.
Bruins win 3-1
Player of the Game: Rask
Game starts at 7:30pm
