"Cole Caufield scored 4:38 into overtime as the Montreal Canadiens edged the Boston Bruins 3-2 in a rivalry matchup Tuesday night. Caufield tapped a pass from Nick Suzuki into the back of the net for his 40th of the season, becoming the first Canadien to reach the mark since Vincent Damphousse in 1993-94."
"Pavel Zacha had both goals for Boston, and Jeremy Swayman stopped 28 shots. Zacha opened the scoring on the power play 2:22 into the first period when he shoveled home a backhand after Alexandre Carrier's double-minor for high-sticking put the Canadiens on a four-minute penalty kill."
"Bruins star winger David Pastrnak extended his point streak against Montreal to 14 games, tying Bobby Orr for the longest by a Bruins player against the Canadiens."
