Patrice Bergeron scored with just 2:55 left in regulation to give the Bruins a 4-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens in an unexpected thriller at the Bell Centre on Tuesday night.
Bergeron made his own game-winner happen with a win at the faceoff dot over Nick Suzuki, which fed the puck directly to David Pastrnak for a quick shot attempt. Brad Marchand got stopped trying to gain the puck, but it bounced to a streaking Bergeron, who snapped it straight ahead and through an open seam into the net.
Goaltender Sam Montembault (26 saves) and the significantly shorthanded Canadiens gave the Bruins all they could handle in this one, but in the end, it was the B’s who came out on top and improved to a downright ridiculous 38-5-4 on the season.
