The Canadiens are back after the Christmas Break to face the Bruins at the Bell Center. Boston is (15-15-7) on the season. The Bruins have won 2 of 3 so far this season with Montreal.

The Bruins get an early PP but it is the Canadiens that score on it SH, RD Steven Thornton gets his 7th of the season at 2:59 and its 1-0 for the Habs. Montreal goes up 2-0, this time on the PP when C Patrick Atkins tips LW Eric Brewer's shot past the Bruins goalie for his 14th of the year at 11:37. Montreal has controlled the play thus far out shooting the Bruins 8-1. The Bruins do get on the board when LW Sherman Dollard beats G Bill Wolfenbarger at 14:49 for his 9th of the season. Montreal goes up 3-1 when RW Joey Mariani wins a puck battle and beats the Bruins netminder with his 11th of the year on the PP at 17:50. The period ends with the shots favouring Montreal 14-4.

Montreal loses a forward 6 minutes into the 2nd when C Jeff Pilbeam heads to the locker room with what appears to be a hand injury. The Bruins get it back to within 1 when LD Rich O'Caffey gets his 6th of the year at 9:08 and its 3-2 now. A better period for the Bruins as the shots are now 17-13 for Montreal and the Habs will start the 3rd period SH for the first 47 seconds.

The 3rd period was pretty even but the Canadiens hang on for a 3-2 win. The final shots were 22-17 for Montreal.
