The Boston Bruins hardly put up a clean performance in their final tilt of their centennial season with the Montreal Canadiens.
A few days removed from a sloppy outing against St. Louis, Jim Montgomery’s squad sustained a torrid pace in the opening minutes, outshooting the Habs 8-1 and jumping out to a 1-0 lead after Danton Heinen buried a David Pastrnak rebound past Sam Montembeault just 4:49 in.
The Bruins couldn’t sustain that solid start. They eventually found themselves back at square one after a Brandon Carlo turnover along the walls led to Nick Suzuki’s equalizer at 14:37 of the opening frame.
