The Boston Bruins contested fiercely against their historic rivals, the Montreal Canadiens, but that spirit was short-lived.
In a thrilling confrontation at TD Garden on Tuesday, the action kicked off as Tanner Jeannot of the Bruins and Josh Anderson of the Canadiens squared off at the very start. This initial brawl ignited the players and fans, setting the stage for a high-stakes Original Six showdown.
Boston maintained an edge through the first several minutes. Another confrontation occurred mid-period, this time involving Bruins' defenseman Nikita Zadorov and Canadiens enforcer Arber Xhekaj. With tempers flaring, the Bruins took advantage just before the first intermission, as Alex Steeves scored a power-play goal with a mere 18 seconds left, giving Boston a 2-1 lead.
Yet, the game shifted dramatically after that.
Montreal turned the tide in the last two periods with an explosive offensive performance. After leveling the score early in the second, the Canadiens erupted for four goals within five minutes in the third period, overpowering Boston's defenses.
The Bruins' unfortunate penalties proved detrimental, with Montreal capitalizing twice on 5-on-3 power plays to extend their lead. By the end, the Canadiens celebrated a decisive 6-2 win.
This loss marked a frustrating end to Boston’s recent homestand, dropping four straight after a strong five out of six performances. The Bruins now find themselves outside playoff contention and will look to recover during their upcoming three-day break before a five-game road trip.
For Montreal, this victory was significant. The Canadiens now boast 45 points, four points ahead of Boston, solidifying their hold on third in the Eastern Conference.
Despite the significant margin, Bruins players and coaches reflected on how the game slipped away from them, rather than collapsing entirely from the start.
“It felt like we were ready and engaged,” remarked head coach Marco Sturm. “That’s why the final score is still hard to believe.”
This rivalry once again showcased intensity and physical play, but when the stakes were highest, Montreal transformed the chaos into decisive control, leaving with two essential points.
