MONTREAL – It wasn’t going to last forever.
The Boston Bruins, despite overcoming three separate deficits, fell to the hated Montreal Canadiens to end their six-game winning streak.
Bruce Cassidy’s squad had an uphill battle from the get-go. The Bruins fell behind just 1:13 in when Victor Mete scored his first of two on the night on an easy tap in past Tuukka Rask.
A David Pastrnak one-timer on the power play brought the Bruins back even. That didn’t last long as the Canadiens turned a tie game into a two-goal lead with Tomas Tatar and Paul Byron lighting the lamp before the first intermission.
