Montreal Canadiens (5-0-0) at Boston Bruins (4-0-0)

Well its going to be Montreal's closest rivals playing for 1st place at the TD Garden in September. Maybe not the build up of a 1st place game in April, but a great match up none the less.

Boston is scoring 3.00 goals per game despite getting only 28 shots per game. Their goaltending has been the difference as they have been giving up 38 shots per night, yet only 6 goals against in 4 games.

Boston will start G Tyrone Inskip, he has 2 win and a 2.00 GAA with .954 save %. Last year Inskip had 33 wins with a 2.44 GAA and .916 save %. Montreal is going with back up G Stefan Merkel. Merkel has 1 win with a 1.96 GAA and .913 save % in his only game this season.

Boston scores on their 1st shot of the game, RW Anton Tkadlecek gets his 1st of the year at 1:58. The period ends with Montreal out shooting Boston 10 to 9.

Montreal ties it up 1-1 early in the 2nd, C Riley Calander gets his 3rd of the year at 0:30. It only took seconds for the Bruins to get the lead back. LW Greg Lilly gets his 1st of the year at 0:52 to make it 2-1 Boston. Montreal out shot Boston 9 to 7 in the 2nd period.

Montreal got another early goal, this time in the 3rd as LW Quincy Kaminsky gets his 1st of the year at 0:10. Its now 2-2. Boston out shot Montreal 11 to 10 in the 3rd period, but surprise surprise, Montreal is going to overtime again.

Montreal wins it in overtime as Bryce Spencer gets his 3rd of the year at 1:24 of the period. It was the only shot between the two teams in the extra period. Montreal out shot Boston 30 to 27 in the game, Montreal was 0 for 6 on the PP, Boston was 0 for 5.

Montreal's LD Dennis Engstrom was the 1st star with 2 assists. The 33 year old now has 0 goals and 3 points in 6 games this year. He had 6 goals and 24 points in 82 games last year.
