The Boston Bruins closed out their home opener with a 6-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens despite their Original Six rival rallying in the third to close the scoring gap on Thursday at the TD Garden.
There were a lot of goals so let’s get right to them!
Here are the game’s highlights:
First period:
The Bruins’ defense got the ball rolling early in the period only to have a power-play goal called back... Hampus Lindholm had let a blast rip from the point through traffic, but Montreal challenged Morgan Geekie for goaltender interference.
