Boston Bruins Record: 6-8-1
Montreal Canadiens Record: 7-8-0
Bruins Record vs. Canadiens Since 2005: 9-19-2
Bruins Likely Goalie: Tim Thomas
Canadiens Likely Goalie: Carey Price
Bruins Top Scorer: Patrice Bergeron (4)
Canadiens Top Scorer: Mike Cammalleri (7)
Injury Report: No surprise that Lucic and Savard are still out, but now Byron Bitz is DTD with a groin injury as well.
Montreal's defense is hurting with Markov, Gill, and O'Byrne all on the IR. I wouldn't expect to see Matt D'Agostini or Georges Laraque tonight either.
Preview Notes: When I say best rivalry ever, I don't mean in hockey, I mean any sport (well admittedly I don't know much about soccer...or cricket, but those are stupid). There's not another match up that matches the intensity and physicality as a Bs/Habs match up.
This game is going to be important for both teams, neither of which have gotten off to the type of start they would like. More than anything, this should serve as a momentum boost for the victor.
Only one point separates these two teams. Bruins can't seem to get their offense going, while the Canadien's defense is leaving a lot to be desired. They have been goaltending issues on both sides of the ice too. Match ups don't get much better than this, watch it!
