These Original Six rivals face off against one another on Thursday in the first home game for the Boston Bruins.
The Montreal Canadiens are off to a good start to the season and play their first road game of the year when they travel to face off against the Boston Bruins on Thursday. The Canadiens beat their Canadian Original Six rival in their season opener on Wednesday beating the Toronto Maple Leafs in a 1-0 shutout. The biggest reason the Habs are coming into this road matchup is simply because of goalie Sam Montembeault. He looked like he was in mid-season form from the jump on Wednesday against Toronto. Montembeault stopped all 48 shots to easily win the game’s first star. Toronto goalie Anthony Stolarz played great and earned the second star making 26 saves which should have been enough to win the game. Cole Caufield made sure that Montembeault’s heroics wouldn’t go to waste. Caufield scored on the power play early in the first period which accounted for all of the game’s offense. Montreal is going to have to create many more opportunities if it is going to pull of this road upset against Boston.

Boston’s opener had much more offense but the Bruins weren’t able to come away with a win against the defending champ Florida Panthers. The Bruins had plenty of opportunities but Florida’s force was just too much early. The Panthers scored two goals in under eight minutes to start the game. Pavel Zacha kept Boston in it with a shorthanded goal late in the period but the Panthers ended up scoring four in the first with Sam Bennett scoring two of those. Florida went up 5-1 in Boston’s biggest deficit which was just too much to come back from. All Boston could do from there was make the final score look closer than it actually was. Boston and Montreal had opposite issues in their season openers so let’s see who gets it straightened out first in Boston tonight.
