"The B's scored a gut-check 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre on Saturday night after losing Charlie McAvoy to a scary shot to the face in the second period and then Viktor Arvidsson late in the game. In a game that was worthy of the ancient rivalry, the B's took a 3-2 lead into the third period and were able to hang on for the win behind Jeremy Swayman's 28 saves."
"The B's got goals from Marat Khusnutdinov, Mason Lohrei and Arvidsson and did a tremendous job on the penalty kill. They took seven minors and had to kill off two lengthy 5-on-3s in the game but managed to nail down the two points in regulation. The win nudged the B's ahead of the Habs and the Senators for the top spot in the Atlantic Division."
"It seemed like both teams recognized that the dormant rivalry had a chance to get reignited from the beginning. Off the opening faceoff, Nikita Zadorov and Jayden Struble tossed their gloves aside and locked up for a tussle. Struble gave away seven inches and about 50 pounds and took more shots than he gave, but he stayed on his feet and the Bell Centre crowd was loving it."
The Boston Bruins defeated the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 at the Bell Centre, moving into first place in the Atlantic Division.

Physicality and fights marked the rivalry-tinged game, including bouts between Nikita Zadorov and Jayden Struble and between Arber Xhekaj and Tanner Jeannot.
