The Boston Bruins have been in a bit of a slump. They lost their last three games against mediocre or bad teams, and they needed a big bounce back win in Montreal to stop the bleeding and keep the team in third place in the Atlantic Division.
The Black and Gold did not disappoint. The Bruins played some technically solid hockey. They also played one of their most physical games of the season. While the Bruins-Habs rivalry seems to have cooled recently, it once again got white-hot in snowy Montreal.
The fans can thank Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin for tying his best to restart the rivalry.
