Recap: Bruins allow two in the third but score late to beat Montreal, 3-2

Friday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins was a bit of a snoozer. Not a ton of penalties, no real snarl, not many big hits...

Tonight’s game was the opposite. This Bruins-Canadiens tilt had jump from the outset. Cheapshots, bloodied players, big hits, huge saves...it had it all.

And in the end, it had the most important thing of all: the Bruins with more goals than the Canadiens when time expired.

John Moore scored his first goal as a Bruin with just under three minutes left in the third period to give the Bruins a huge 3-2 win over the Canadiens, skipping town with two points after blowing a two-goal lead in the third.
