The Montreal Canadiens, injury-riddled and undermanned as they may be, seemed poised to hand the Bruins a little comeuppance on their historic journey.
The Habs had beaten Toronto, Winnipeg and the Rangers over the last couple of weeks and they gave the B’s all they could handle for much on Tuesday at the Bell Centre.
But in the end, even the B’s age-old tormentors could not derail them. The B’s scored three third period goals to knock off the Habs, 4-2, and push their record to 38-5-4.
