After the Boston Bruins' morning skate at Warrior Ice Arena on Tuesday morning, head coach Marco Sturm said that his team would be ready to go against the Montreal Canadiens after a bad 6-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Sunday night at the TD Garden.
“Those are the games that are really fun to play in, to be part of. Before Christmas, we have some days off, big game for us,” Sturm said. “My guys will be ready today, that’s what I can say.”
When the dust settled, the Bruins were tied 2-2 through 40 minutes, but Boston completely imploded by taking penalties, giving the Canadiens two 5-on-3 power plays, and they made them pay with two power play goals as part of a four-goal outburst in what was a rout over the final 20 minutes in a 6-2 win.
