It lacked the sizzle of a traditional Bruins-Canadiens rivalry game and probably took a little longer than anticipated to tilt the Bruins’ way, but ultimately, it was a win.
Patrice Bergeron’s goal with 2:55 left in the third period broke a 2-2 tie, then David Pastrnak added an empty-netter to give the B’s a 4-2 win.
Things were scoreless for the first 30 minutes of action, until Kirby Dach got things started for the Canadiens, burying a PPG on a beautiful cross-ice pass from Mike Hoffman. 1-0 Canadiens.
Whewwww, Mike Hoffman with the sweet feed to Kirby Dach and it's 1-0 Habs!
